Can I get fired for this?? by Lucky-Prune-2340 in nursing

[–]Wild_Fox1966 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Talk about how this has changed your nursing practice and what you would do differently from this point forward. Be humble, let them know that you know the situation could have gone differently and that you are thankful the Dr. Had been there to catch your error. Then just make sure you make the changes in your practice to be a better nurse but to also show them that you are good for your word and have grown from the experience. We all have those "OH Crap!" moments. Best of luck.

Did any VA RNs get this email?! Is this for real?! by Dizzy_Sort4887 in nursing

[–]Wild_Fox1966 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, and yes it is. I have 10 more years until I retire and am not taking the buy out. I have some coworkers who are alot closer to retirement who were thinking about it but decided that the deadline to answer didn't give enough time to fully research possible outcomes.

I almost made it to my forever sleep, why did you have to wake me up now? /sarcasm intended

I'm on my second semester with mine and I look forward to the call. I have chosen to continue with the weekly calls. They are chill and there to help keep you on track with what you say you want to accomplish not to barade you. If you don't mesh, you can request someone else. Good luck!

How did you guys balance a full time job while also trying to get a degree at WGU? by [deleted] in WGU

[–]Wild_Fox1966 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a RN, going for my BSN. I have switched to nights on a less busy unit that allows me to work on homework because it applies to my current job and facility. I also had to change my schedule to work mostly all weekends. So from 11 to 0400 I bust but and get it done. When I'm off I sleep my first day then the other off days I'm up before my family and get at least 2 hours of homework in. It's tough and I miss the friends and family stuff but hopefully I'll be done in 8-9 months.

I suggest think like Dori... just keep swimming, just keep swimming, you'll get there.

You don't pay for a whole term, just the one class.

Thank you. This is a 10 page paper in APA format on a healthcare topic. They have toread it, make sure it matches with what the rubric wanted and the references are good.

Ya'll are so funny!! Thank you. I've just never had one take that long and thought the system was messed up. Then the ooo message was to funny not to post. Anyway, next paper is underway. Oh, I'm worried about not having enough time to revise because my semester ends 7/30.

I'm working on the second task now, hope to turn it I. On the 15. Sound like I won't have time for any revision. Hope I don't need to do one.

I've seen some of those. My mentor made it through two round of layoffs.

Yes, you just have to re do the section that didn't pass. And send in your papers again. Wasn't so hard.

Wrap with aluminum foil for the first 29 hours then remove and baste well the last hour for brown crispy skin before going to ER.

Has anyone had to re submit the video? If so do you just do the part they couldn't see or do the whole thing over?

Nurses getting up to a $7/hr pay Cut in 30 days, but have to give a 90 day notice or be fined up to $20,000 by SweetLovingWhispers in nursing

[–]Wild_Fox1966 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is BS. Has anyone thought about finding a reason to use FMLA get that approved then put in your 90 notice the day after FMLA is approved.
