  • Is it ok to cross a picket line if its nurses on strike at a hospital?

    The nurses union at a nearby hospital is on strike and I am completely pro union and would never want to cross a picket line to support a business, but is it ok when its a hospital? I don't have many choices for medical care and will need to visit a hospital soon.

  • Fired from my job, any advice?

    For the last year it has been one of the best years. I have working on myself. Working out, running, about to get masters in nursing for family nurse practitioner. Recently, I have hit a major roadblock. I just got fired from my job as a registered nurse due to hippa. I’m devastated. Been working in the hospital for 5 years. Even though I’m almost finished with my degree( 4months) and not planning to work in the hospital; I didn’t want it to end it like this. Also I haven’t told my family yet. I’m am just crushed, my life has been relatively good. I rarely face any hardships. I’m just not use to this feeling. Any advice. I’m a 27 year old male. Thanks

  • What should I do about my job situation?

    I’ve been with my company for many years and was thrown (not really asked) to work two departments, I was not being compensated btw. One of the departments is very difficult and there isn’t really a “back up” person, I was getting very frustrated and finally spoke up about it and I was given a raise. But after years of doing this I find myself not happy having to work both departments anymore I get very frustrated, there isn’t good communication and I’m treated like a door mat. I wanted to speak to my boss about being removed from one of the departments but last time I tried that I was told that they could not move me bc they don’t have a person to replace me. I care for my job and I don’t want to quit I just don’t want to work both anymore. I want to feel fulfilled and happy about going to work not like I’m being dragged to my doom. I’m not sure how to go about this.

  • registered nurse, er tech, respiratory therapist?

    So I’m going to school for CNA. I recently came across the position of an ER Tech and the position of a respiratory therapist. I’m not entirely sure what either of those jobs until. I guess my biggest question is what’s the difference between being a registered nurse an ER Tech and a respiratory therapist. If I had to guess I’d say they were all correlated in someway.Which would be the better job to take and pursue.

  • entry level health care field options?

    I am currently in community college doing my prerequisites to apply to nursing programs. It is super competitive so I am looking to gain experience by becoming either a CNA, EMT, or phlebotomist before applying to nursing schools. I am open to other options but I was wondering what is the best as far as salary and job prospects after certification as well as how well does it look on nursing applications? And how enjoyable is the job overall or how overwhelming is it? As well as whats the normal hours? Any personal experience or tips for nursing or health care would be appreciated.

  • How to respond to a boss doing this?

    I've upset my boss on a number of occasions with punctuality issues. I have promised to address the issues in my personal life and try to better manage my time (including external commitments on night shift rotations).

    The boss wants to take things further and I completely understand why. Our most recent discussion was difficult. She again asked me to just leave home earlier before my night shift. I tried to reply ok, I understand, I will etc. But with every attempt to acknowledge her, she just kept saying "no, don't speak, don't tell me, just do it"...I really didn't know what else to say in the end as she kept asking me if I can come earlier and when I tried to respond, she just cut me off and said no.

    What was I supposed to do? Tell her yes and then politely tell her the meeting is finished because I have to get back to work?

    I have encountered this kind of behaviour in a previous job. It wasn't about punctuality in that job. But when the boss was frustrated, they kept cutting me off when I tried to nod my head or agree to change.

    I left both scenarios confused as I had done my best to try and communicate that I agree with their frustrations and wished to address them once and for all. Could I have said anything different or was I correct to just cop it and move on to change what I'm doing wrong?

  • Do medical clinics decide their own prices?

    I was curious if someone could technically open a  cheap medical clinic that does not take insurance, and only charges reasonable prices to stop giving the healthcare field so much money and power...

  • Quick question about job salary differentials between a Clinical Mental Health provider and a Marriage/Family Mental Health Provider?

    I'm about to get my BA in Psychology, and then I plan to go for my Master's in Clinical Mental Health. I was noting a deep salary disparity between Clinical Mental Health providers and those who provide Marriage/Family therapy. Clinical Mental Health workers in my state make on average 52k a yr, while Marriage/Family therapists make over 100k. Is this disparity in income due to the fact that a great many Marriage and Family Counselors work in private practice and thus can name their own price?
