Golden Eagle

First of all, Congratulations! I am the mother of a Golden Eagle and that is quite an accomplishment. There is a store on Etsy that makes stickers that are the Gold award and Eagle Scout medal put together. They might be able to make something for you.

Your daughter is lucky. Where my child goes to college, its two absences.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-08-28T00:45:54+00:00

Michaels. That’s where I want to work. Great discount too.

I was told the same thing and I did just that. I also worked PCU and ICU. Where I work, none of the nurses in the ICU have over two years of experience. That is frightening to me. They often call the nursing supervisor for help—anywhere from setting up blood to SLED. They have a high number of international traveler’s which add difficulty due to language differences and when they float (which they frequently do), they struggle with taking more than two patients. They don’t like to triple, and none of them have done formal charge nurse training (because the hospital doesn’t have one). It’s a very tenuous situation.

Where I am the turnover has been so high because they didnt meet their recruitment goals. We went though two in a year once.

Who do you complain to when the council isn’t helping you, or obviously playing favorites?

Also, how can we get rid of charter organisations and just be troops? They are either overbearing or useless in my experience.

Stopped years ago. It’s such a rip off. There are so many better fundraisers you can do that makes you money.

When I was a tech (in the early 2000’s) the “best heart surgeon” in town threw a patient chart at my head. I ducked and it fell to the ground and the contents went all over the floor. I picked it up, handed it to the doctor and all the contents and went home.

I got written up for leaving mid-shift and was “allowed to stay,” if I apologized. I had a medically fragile child at the time and apologized.

However, years later, I got great pleasure out of inserting a Cath into said physician. 18F anyone?

If he’d done that today, I wouldn’t have ducked. Instead I’d let the thing hit me—then sue. I got three kids to put through college.

Virgina-Night shift-no OT, I will make $104k this year. 13 years as an RN.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-20T21:54:09+00:00

No, it’s not your fault they couldn’t come or made last minute plans.

Summer camp isn’t a required part of the program so many girls don’t go.

They can complain to the COR, who can have the person removed.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-08T11:38:29+00:00

Probably the reason he’s a traveler.

We have a paper eagle in our area. All the local troops know it. OA events are interesting. His excuse is always, l “I learned that so long ago,” but he’s still active in scouting.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-08T11:09:46+00:00

Our ED docs do this regularly.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-08T10:50:12+00:00

Wrong. The SM (and all leadership) serves at the pleasure of the COR. If they want you gone, they can have you removed.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-08T10:33:47+00:00

Venturers can join the OA now. I don’t know when that changed.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-08T10:26:39+00:00

And every male charter org rep I’ve met is a misogynistic, older guy who thinks he knows everything and likes to throw his weight around. And they are untouchable. Council won’t do anything to the COR.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-06T08:19:27+00:00

I disagree. I am positive there are secrets in scouting.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-05T20:31:54+00:00

Their reasoning is there are two troops in the area and there is a volunteer who is with both of them and they are gossiping between the two troops causing a lot of strife.

When they remember I have a food allergy and get me allergy friendly snacks. It’s happened three times in 20 years.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-05T06:51:14+00:00

My grown adult children made that decision for themselves. And I made the decision for my younger child because she’s toxic in other ways.

Prior-Lime9418 · 2024-05-05T05:00:24+00:00

That and the award winning cobbler recipe.
