   NursingNapsNetflix replied to NursingNapsNetflix's topic in School Programs

   I'm sorry also when you say family coverage how many people is that, right now it's just me and my husband and 400$ a month is just crazy! The 2-8 hour on call shifts, do you get overtime for those of you end up going in?

   Thank you so much! Do you know the name of the union? How long for pension to vest? Do you have to stay a staff nurse to keep the pension, does moving to nursing management get rid of it? Tuition reimbursement if you attend SBU? Do you make your own ...

   Hi! Thank you, but I cannot private message because I haven't had "15 quality posts". So can I just ask you some questions here? It's mostly about the specific union/pension and staffing/scheduling

7. Gross Things Patients Do

   NursingNapsNetflix replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in General Nursing

   "Myself, probably the grossest I've encountered (which really pales in comparison to most of the above stories, dang guys!), was a woman so frustrated with her constipation that she attempted to disimpact herself. It didn't really work, and her finge...

    I agree with BCgradnurse. I'm an RN, out of school since May 2015. My best friend graduated with me and she went straight into FNP. She works as an RN part time while she goes to school full time and shes gaining the same experience as I am and not ...

12. Does it look bad to apply to 2 jobs at the same hospital?

    NursingNapsNetflix replied to Annie_1101's topic in Professionalism

    Apply for as many jobs at one hospital that you can. It shows you are willing to work where they need you just to gain experience. When I was a new grad I applied at a hospital for 8 different positions and four of them met with me in a mass intervie...
