1. Nurses Working In J C Lincoln North Mountain

   mugg54 replied to shortie2872's topic in Arizona

   Well, I can tell you a lot of bad, but not much good! First of all the reason they keep hiring nurses over and over, is because nurses DO NOT stay there! The area is extremely unsafe! Nurses have been raped and mugged in the parking lots! You have to...

4. how do you deal with manipulation?

   mugg54 replied to RachelLVN's topic in Psychiatric

   All talk with a patient should be considered therapeutic. Therapeutic communication skills take years to perfect. Do you want some weblinks on them? I have a few web links to powerpoint lectures from nursing programs on basic therapeutic communicatio...

5. LPN To RN Hospital Benefits Seniority Policy

   mugg54 replied to nursenevaeh's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, mine is 2 for 1 too! I was an LPN for 10 years, they started me as a R.N. with 5 years of experience. It made a significant difference in my pay too! It infuriates me that some of these places don't want to acknowledge all the wonderful experien...

7. Travel co. asking for copy of contract?

   mugg54 replied to cenote's topic in Travel

   Cenote, I think they probably lost your original contract and needed a copy of it! Why else would they need your contract? They are known for being under handed and trying to take advantage of their nurses! The pay really sucks too! Sorry, I just rea...

8. Please share something GOOD that happened at work!

   mugg54 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

   I got report on an 87 year old man admitted with CHF. I was told in report "He is difficult and very grumpy". I walked in his room and introduced myself and proceeded to do his assessment. At first he was rather abrupt with me. He just seemed very sa...

9. RN pay in other states

   mugg54 replied to codebrown's topic in General Nursing

   I am in Phoenix, AZ. I think the new grad pay is 20-25 an hour depending on hospital and area you work in. I would say average pay in hospitals would be about 30 an hour for an RN with several years of experience. Of course then you would add on diff...

10. have you ever lost it at work?

    mugg54 replied to lannisz's topic in General Nursing

    Lannisz, I too lost it at work! In hindsight I was lucky I didn't lose my license too! I was the new kid on the block too at the time! After I got off orientation, it seemed like I would always have the assignments with the worst patients! I had this...

11. What hospitals have sign on bonuses?

    mugg54 replied to kemerick's topic in Arizona

    Well, JCL hospital does offer the sign on bonus BUT like someone said on here before...there is a reason these hospitals offer these big sign-ons. They have to offer them because THEY suck and that is the only way they can attract nurses to the hopi...

12. body fluids, vomit, feces, smells, etc.

    mugg54 replied to chijon512's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I know I will get a lot of flak for this answer, but I cannot stand the sight or smell of feces or vomit. I have been like this for years and I have never been able "to get used to it"! I did not go to college for 5 years to clean poo and vomit...

13. Any Nurses worked for JCL North Campus?

    mugg54 replied to mytoon38's topic in Arizona

    Zacarias, It could be that your attitude is better! I know attitude does account for a lot! I tried to have a positive attitude at first, but over the months it has only become more unbearable working at JCL! I have worked at jobs I absolutely loved...

    mugg54 posted a topic in Arizona

    Hi, I have seen another thread posted on the general forums asking about salaries and some people got very upset about it! I am NOT asking you to reveal your salary if you don't want to! So please don't flame me and say I am asking personal info!:ang...

15. Any Nurses worked for JCL North Campus?

    mugg54 replied to mytoon38's topic in Arizona

    Linda, Glad you agree with me! I felt bad because I had heard such positive feedback about the hospital prior to going to work there! I have not heard the nurses say too many things good about the place since I've been there though! I wonder if they ...
