   No, I work in a University Medical Center that can't seem to hire enough help. I could even work more than I already do, if all I wanted to do is Work, instead of work to Live😂 The early winter is slow time for 1 of my jobs, so I take a Feb - May ...

5. Part time plus per diem?

   rymes replied to jroll's topic in Career Support

   I actually have 3 PRN jobs. If you don't need insurance it's the best way to be able to schedule yourself as much or as little as you want or need to work. Biggest Plus is you don't have to ask for time off. I have found that you take a PRN or part t...

   I mainly go to all the recruiting web sites like Indeed.com or Careers.com.

7. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

   rymes replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

   Glad you were, but all that garb did not make you more professional or more skilled. I just personally did not agree with the need for wearing a dress, hose & cap to do my job.

8. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

   rymes replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

   The purpose being what? A cap that won't stay on my head, a skirt that shows my ass if I have to get down on the floor to measure chest drainage or empty a foley bag, or perform CPR. Get real! I do not need a costume to be a kind, compassionate, and ...

9. Did You Know the Specialty You Wanted to Work In Before Clinicals?

   rymes replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

   Yes I knew, it took me over a year on the floor before I could transfer into my speciality, which was surgery. I got to surgery & went as far as a CRNFA (certified Registered Nurse Cardiac First Assistant), stayed in this career for over 20 years...

10. I survived the Board of Nursing

    rymes replied to KCMnurse's topic in Professionalism

    Good Lord! Who went after you? Really, are you surprised that the board did not execute their job, by doing their own investigation? I have found in life, whoever gets to tell their story 1st, just has to be the one telling the truth....NOT:no:

11. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    rymes replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I have found using my struggles with weight loss a good tool, that I can use to help my patients. They seem to appreciate the honesty of talking about the struggle of how to lose the weight. We don't need to tell them they are overweight, ...

12. Finally got malpractice insurance.

    rymes replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    I have always been told that if I bought my own malpractice insurance it would be used against me, as in, they would go after me personally because of the insurance. I have always felt very comfortable in my 30 years + of nursing being covered by the...

13. How to react nicely if a patient asks for your social media acct?

    rymes replied to hedzinkwly's topic in Relations

    1st of all I would probably laugh it off & say I don't participate or if you already indicated you do, just say I make a rule that I can't give personal information out to a patient. I would never give out that type of information about myself.

14. Evil Nurses

    rymes replied to sammiesmom's topic in Relations

    LOL:nurse:! I had this experience years ago when I was learning a new role in surgery. I took that person aside & had a firm conversation with her. Letting her know that all of her negative announcements are being told to me or I can overhear her...
