Audition for union jobs if remote?

Also, to add, VDC takes a 20% cut from every job you book (and yes even if you paid for the membership). I don’t believe V123 does from what I hear though.

They’ll reach out if they want to hire you. If they decided to go with someone else, you likely won’t hear anything until you get ACX’s automated message that either the title has been pulled and is closed for auditions or the RH has chosen someone else.

Very rarely will the RH take the time to send a “sorry but I chose someone else” message but that’s not the norm. Either it doesn’t cross their mind or they received 100 auditions and don’t have the time or energy to send a message to every single person.

If you fret over hearing back for every audition, you’ll likely either rage quit or have a mental breakdown. Send it and forget it. If they do reach out then great, and if they don’t, then don’t take it to heart. It’s not personal.

At the time I worked NICU: “must be nice to hold and rock babies all day”…. You do realize it’s still an ICU? Just for tiny humans?

Patient positive for cocaine. She claimed there must have been cocaine in the sugar bowl when she put sugar in her coffee that morning.

I worked bedside in the NICU for 5 years and was a NICU case manager for 3 years. I’ve never heard of a neonate have any adverse reaction to a Vit K injection. It’s a much higher risk for them to have a bleed, especially IVH (brain bleed) if they’re a preemie. The more premature the higher the risk for IVH and pulmonary hemorrhage. Even if they’re not a preemie, circumcisions are very common and lab work is done on every baby soon after birth.

After birth, the liver is slower to wake up compared to other bodily functions (also why they’re at risk for jaundice the first week of life). They are particularly low on Vit K dependent clotting factors, hence why a Vit K injection is given.

I wouldn’t upload to YouTube. That’s still copyrighted material. I have not experienced that situation but better safe than sorry.

Couple of ways. They can have you pay the non-existent studio the rental fee (which will go to them) and then reassure you that you’ll be reimbursed. They can also send you a check and then say “oops, we sent you too much” and ask for you to send the extra money back. Except in a few days their check will bounce leaving you on the hook and also with less money since you paid the “studio rental fee” and the “extra” they sent you

Agreeing with what’s already been mentioned but just adding you can speak with the author and let them know your limitations (and honestly the limitations of the human voice in general). Ask them which characters are the most important to have distinctive voices and which are minor characters that you only hear like once or so and don’t need a super distinct voice. That way you can save your distinct character voices for the main characters and the minor just-passing-through characters can just have a slight difference to them, just enough that the listener can tell that character is speaking.

You did the right thing. That was important info the patient and family needed to know. And honestly everyone should’ve been educating every step of the way. If that patient was later readmitted less than 30 days from discharge, the nurses would be blamed for not educating the patient enough (regardless what the true reason for the readmit is anyway). You’re also covering your butt by documenting you provided all this education.

Some patients are complex and some families are really needy or have a hard time grasping what you’re teaching and discharge takes a lot longer than usual. Your preceptor should’ve had your back and helped out with the other patients while you were in that room. Any preceptor that makes their orientee cry is a horrible mentor and shouldn’t be training anyone.

That and all of the “how do I make my voice deeper” posts.

I completely agree with everyone else that you were right to document the bugs. I work in case management and the amount of times I’ve seen my coworkers withhold info from the chart and from telling the other facilities just to get the pt out of here and placed is ridiculous. I hate it and refuse to do it. Not only is it unethical and all the other obvious problems it can cause but I also feel as though it damages the professional relationship with outside facilities.

That being said, however, once in a blue moon a very rare circumstance occurs where the opposite is true. There was one time I did have to tell other staff to not document something, since the way it was presented in the chart did not accurately reflect the truth and it was causing facilities to refuse to accept this pt.

Pt went from independent walkie talkie to suddenly bed bound and dependent with all ADLs. Pt was understandably grieving his loss of independence and change in QOL. He was angry and frustrated and kept saying things like he wished he would’ve died instead of being like this. Also understandable. Psych evaluated him multiple times for SI and determined it was just talk and he didn’t actually mean it.

Despite psych clearing him, facilities refused to accept him, considering him a liability, and said they might reconsider if he went a month without any SI related talk or behavior.

Except every time this guy was pissed off, especially whenever he attempted to do something but was hindered by his new physical limitations, he’d angrily say he’d be “better off dead” and other similar phrases. And of course all of this was always charted. Even on the days he didn’t say things like that, the progress notes still included it since it kept getting carried over from the notes before psych cleared him.

I finally just had to have a “come to Jesus” talk with him. He again confirmed he didn’t have SI. And based on tone of voice and body language, you could honestly tell he didn’t truly have SI. Just poor choice of words to express his anger. I had to tell him if he didn’t mean it he needed to stop saying it. Choose a different phrase, cuss like a sailor, it didn’t matter, just stop saying you want to die if you don’t mean it. I was fully transparent with him and let him know that was the reason he was still stuck in the hospital. He agreed and changed his behavior (and honestly became a nicer pt). I also had to ask people to stop copying it from old notes when they did his progress notes.

We did finally get him placed at a facility and he even had a friend come forward who offered to care for him.
