  2. New nurse- question r/t her job

    LovingLife123 replied to NewNurse91D's topic in General Nursing

    I would simply ask your boss if she has the liability insurance to cover her. It would be like a nursing student doing a clinical rotation, but the nursing students liability is covered by their...

  3. Family not supportive, is nursing really that bad?

    LovingLife123 replied to emnicole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My question is why do they think nursing is not right for

  4. Repealing ACA

    LovingLife123 replied to OnceMorewithFeeling's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm just wondering this, why are people against paying for healthcare? They have no problems paying for the latest iPhone, Michael Kors purses, retro Jordan sneakers..... But the thought of paying...

  6. Would You do This Commute?

    LovingLife123 replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    Mine is about 40 minutes each way. It's well over an hour in rush hour traffic. Fortunately I'm not in rush hour too much. I use the commute to prep myself for the day ahead. I love the quiet time...

  7. Suspended from work for an investigation,can i resign and take another, will i look guilty

    LovingLife123 replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    It's not about me not wanting to do someone else's work. Not at all. It's about me not wanting to handle meds other people pulled. Especially narcotics. When I organize my rooms for the day, I...

  9. Suspended from work for an investigation,can i resign and take another, will i look guilty

    LovingLife123 replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say it's a nasty culture. I think the issue more than finding the narcotics is documentation was falsified and that is also reportable to the BON. And it's documentation on narcotics. I...

  10. Suspended from work for an investigation,can i resign and take another, will i look guilty

    LovingLife123 replied to SuziQ63's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you waste in the Pyxis but not actually the meds? That's the confusing part for me. Is the cactus not right beside the Pyxis? One of my biggest pet peeves is finding narcotics laying...

  12. CALL OUT & MAKE UP DAYS in NJ...? IS IT MANDATORY OVERTIME?

    LovingLife123 replied to GRAB1's topic in General Nursing

    It's not mandated but it is overtime. Any time over 40 hours a week in a single week for an hourly employee is overtime pay. Are you considered an hourly

  13. let go from orientation

    LovingLife123 replied to rnursingrn's topic in General Nursing

    It won't show up on a background check. Those are criminal checks. Nor will it show up on a credit check. COBRA is very expensive but can be worth it if you have good coverage and medical issues....

  14. Should I consider this job?

    LovingLife123 replied to Emm_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I could not ever work in

  15. Days to Nights

    LovingLife123 replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think I was a morning person either, until I went to night shift. It taught me I could be a morning person. And now that I've been back on days, I have not had one issue getting up in the...

  16. I've been out of Nursing for a while

    LovingLife123 replied to 98nursemiami's topic in General Nursing

    I would think you need more than a refresher course. So much has changed in medicine. Maybe do a traditional RN program. I also can't see employers hiring after 19 years. That's a huge

  17. Just a question

    LovingLife123 replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    I like bedside. I have no aspirations to become an NP. But I also know I can't do bedside forever. It's exhausting. At some point, I may transition into a CS if

  18. Flagged FBI Report

    LovingLife123 replied to Cami28's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Here they just suspend your license. It's a waste of jail resources to jail traffic tickets. I forgot to pay mine once. Then I remembered like 2 weeks later going through my bills to pay. I called...

    LovingLife123 replied to Cami28's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    You served time for traffic tickets?? Hmmm, me thinks there is more to

  20. Significance of Humanities courses in Nursing

    LovingLife123 replied to Sam101's topic in General Students

    Psychology and sociology are a part of nursing. Psych nursing is it's own specialty. You will have a mental health rotation in nursing school. You will deal with people from all aspects of life....

  21. Cleaning a dressing trolley ??

    LovingLife123 replied to wehttam's topic in United Kingdom

    A dressing trolley? Is that a cart filled with dressing supplies you move from room to room? I've never heard of one. We don't use one. The wound care nurses do if that's what you are talking about....

  22. Job offer then ghosted

    LovingLife123 replied to Newgrad&8678's topic in General Nursing

  23. Self scheduling and sick calls!

    LovingLife123 replied to MRSKMS's topic in General Nursing

    My unit self schedules. There are just guidelines to it. The only time I ever call out sick is if I'm actually

  24. Glutton for Punishment?

    LovingLife123 replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    This made me laugh. They don't make "laws" about degrees. A hospital can require a degree to hire or day the BON can make the entry level degree required to sit for NCLEX a BSN, but not a law....

  25. BSN straight to NP or gain work experience

    LovingLife123 replied to clint.parsch's topic in General Nursing

    Employers are having a hard time hiring NPs with no clinical experience. Heard this directly from HR people. Get some bedside experience. You can make more than an NP if you take the right job with...
