1. $12 an hour?!

   TeenyBabyRN replied to HisTreasure's topic in LPN/LVN

   Where on earth do they find RNs that will work for $12/hr??? That is disgraceful!

2. Anyone else having trouble getting work?

   TeenyBabyRN replied to rasberryblonde's topic in Agency

   Nothing like sticking your head in the sand (so you can't see the nurses) This statement illustrates the reality of the situation. There really ARE nurses, but these nurses will not work for less-than-desirable wages. They will either be compensa...

3. Black nurses VS. White nurses

   TeenyBabyRN replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

   pinky vs. the brain

4. For all of you night nurses

   TeenyBabyRN replied to BaystateRN's topic in General Nursing

   Ditto, but I still wouldn't change to days

5. Will Non-BSN nurses ever be fired?

   TeenyBabyRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

   LOL! You'd have to grow some mighty long legs j/k

6. Question from a Respiratory Therapist

   TeenyBabyRN replied to petrosian's topic in Online Learning

   I recently looked at the site. Certified Medical Assistants (CMAs)and Certified Surgical Technologists (CSTs) are no longer considered as eligible for admission. Respiratory Therapists, Paramedics (EMT-P), and certain designations of former militar...

7. Who's #1 your patient or you?

   TeenyBabyRN replied to rscarlatti's topic in General Nursing

   NICUs do seem to enjoy a much lower turnover rate than most other specialties (but it depends a lot on the particular unit - some just do not know how to treat people) but, in my experience, adult ICUs are different. The burnout rate tends to be muc...

8. Worthless medical insurance

   TeenyBabyRN replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

   I have not seen good medical insurance through an employer yet!!! :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire You would think that being healthcare professionals, we would have the best healthcare available, well :rotfl: There is no taking care...

10. lpn looking to travel

    TeenyBabyRN replied to rheebaby's topic in Travel

    Just MHO, but I would stay far, far away from any agency that did not require any level of experience. Patient safety and your license are not a priority for them - dollars are. You have to watch your own back as a traveler and keep in mind that mo...

11. Night Shift Differential

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    7p-7a weekdays - $4.50 7p-7a weekends - $8.50 No way I would EVER rotate shifts (very unhealthy - its too hard to take care of others when you feel like crap all the time). I have turned down travel positions in very nice facilities that I wanted to...

12. "I didn't know you were gay"

    TeenyBabyRN replied to ChrisA's topic in General Students

    I'd say it probably has something to do with the fact that the profession shares its name with the act of putting an infant to breast. It seems like they could have found something better to call us.

13. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    On a side note, other health care professionals do not do this kind of thing. You don't see RTs intubating each other. They don't have "Lap Chole Day" in med school.

14. All Bad Nurses - Please Stand Up

    TeenyBabyRN replied to bcelzo's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but this just doesn't hold up. Patients will request not to have a particular nurse again for the most asinine reasons, such as: The patient tried to treat a particular nurse like a slave and the nurse would not stand for it. The nurse would ...

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    i have read these posts in total shock and amazement. we did not sponge bathe each other at all we did not do it in our shorts we did not do it in a fort we did not eat green eggs and ham... and we absolutely did not give each other im injections (...
