1. Per Diem/PRN pay national comparison

   NurseYoshi replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

   The facility I work at (or within) pays more to prn nurses because they get no benefits. I think they can get a 401k set up and have free access to the wellness centers if they sign up for the hospital wide yearly wellness checks. Prn nurses get 10-2...

   It's raining phlegm, hallelujah. It's raining phlegm, every specimen. Bloody, sticky, yucky and gross.

3. Patients Say the Darnedest Things - WIN $250! Nurses Week Contest 2018

   NurseYoshi replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

   I've got two! Neither are probably funny to anyone else, but they were hilarious to me at the time. First one, pt: "What's that in your ear?" Me: "my stethoscope?..." Pt: "no there's a shiny thing, like an earring" Me: "oh my daith piercing?" Pt: "th...

4. What would you be in another life?

   NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in General Nursing

   I LOVE THIS! I was thinking "man if I ever end up in an assisted living facility, this would be it." I was talking to a guy who manages an assisted living facility and he said he always listens to his nurses instead of doing what he thinks sounds goo...

5. Dual locations

   NurseYoshi replied to Barbara11102's topic in General Nursing

   So a little background about me. I was a military kid. So I moved A LOT as a kid. I will tell you that as long as your supportive and encouraging him to try to make friends and partake in hobbies/extracurricular that he's previously done, he shouldn'...

6. What would you be in another life?

   NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in General Nursing

   My pre-nursing/pre-high school dream job was to become a lawyer to help kids who were stuck in bad situations at home or elsewhere. Now I'm glad I didn't go that route because it almost sounds like something a social worker would help with and I can'...

7. What would you be in another life?

   NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in General Nursing

   That's crazy! We had one guy who had tons of back surgeries, but no chiropractors or anything like that. We only had one person (that I'm aware of) that had been an LPN before our BSN program. Everyone else either had no prior experience or was a CNA...

   My first thought when I read the secretary part was "OMG! It's Anna Beth from Hart of Dixie!" Lol I just finished that up on Netflix and now I'm trying to move forward from it, but I grew attached.

10. What would you be in another life?

    NurseYoshi replied to NurseYoshi's topic in General Nursing

    Daaaang. All I ever learned was a little piano and a little guitar. I could do the very basics. I did two years of choir in high school and sang at church. I imagined being a math teacher who subbed as the choir teacher during certain periods. I work...

11. UAB or ADN @ Beville/Wallace

    NurseYoshi replied to MCRUZ618's topic in School Programs

    When I applied, they were in the process of changing things. My cohort was the first one with the new curriculum (not the new scrubs though). I've been told by friends in cohorts behind me that they now require an interview during the application pro...

12. UAB or ADN @ Beville/Wallace

    NurseYoshi replied to MCRUZ618's topic in School Programs

    Hey! So I went to UAH but could have done my ADN at Calhoun. I, like you, wanted my BSN, but as I was going through school, I realized something. If I had done the ADN program and done the other prerequisites for my BSN during that time (since Calhou...

13. Moving to north Alabama

    NurseYoshi replied to Jpawlak4087's topic in Job Hunt

    I work for one of the largest hospital systems in North Alabama (we have 7 hospitals across North Alabama). Some of the hospitals still hire LPNs, especially in endoscopy. Not so much on the floor because most floors require ACLS and something about ...
