2. Need advice!

   ImASuckyCMA87 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey guys, I was just wondering what I should do in a sticky situation I'm facing. Recently, I left my office position and moved on to someplace else, but I still keep in touch of my former co-workers, mainly through Facebook. Well, one of my girlfrie...

7. Nursing and sexual orientation

   ImASuckyCMA87 replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

   Bearscrubs, I think its a terror that you feel as though you have to lie about your orientation! I can certainly understand you not wanting to be the source of the rumor mill but at the same time you should be free to just be. As a homosexual woman, ...

8. Pay Rate E.R. tech

   ImASuckyCMA87 replied to imaginethat101's topic in Washington DC

   You sure as heck can! This surprised me too, when the interviewer disclosed this information in the interview. I thought you had to be a nurse to start IV's, but I guess it just depends on where you work.

9. Pay Rate E.R. tech

   ImASuckyCMA87 replied to imaginethat101's topic in Washington DC

   Hey all. I am a medical assistant who is in the process of being hired for an ER tech position in a Phila hospital (interview went great, Shadow Day is tomorrow!) Anyways, when I found the position online it listed that the starting hourly wage for t...

10. Starting Salaries for New Nurses in Philly

    ImASuckyCMA87 replied to BrokeRN's topic in Pennsylvania

    Goober, if I may ask - what type of work do you do now at Penn?

11. What job after graduation?

    ImASuckyCMA87 replied to Angel,LVNStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey Angel, I'm not sure how tough it'd be to work in a jail setting (I would imagine it would be mentally draining) but I honestly think it wouldn't be a bad idea. They're probably more hard pressed to hire people as that seems like a job not too man...

12. So ready to throw in the towel and it makes me sad...

    ImASuckyCMA87 replied to FiduciaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone b!tching about the OP's writing skills... Get a life!! If you can't read it, DON'T READ IT. And don't frigging comment either. Get over it. To the OP, you sound like a wonderful, wonderful nurse. I'm sorry your co-workers suck so much! Keep ...

13. I called in today, no I mean ..I called Out! / huh??

    ImASuckyCMA87 replied to cecilsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, this is a totally goofy and pointless thread (-aka- I LOVE it!) Here in Philly we say calling out. "Boy, you'd better not call out tomorrow!" (This is what I'm always saying to my always "sick" co-worker.) Calling off or calling in just sounds s...

14. Are nurses becoming more negative on Allnurses?

    ImASuckyCMA87 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    Plain and simply, YES. When I joined AN a couple of years ago it was a really positive, uplifting, encouraging community. Now it's loaded with smart as$es, who lurk around the site just looking for a way to put someone in "their place." Get a life. P...

15. I can't take this nurse anymore!

    ImASuckyCMA87 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Geriatric

    But Leelee what if talking directly to this nurse offends her? What if she has one of those "holier than thou" attitudes and mistakes poor fuzzy's sincerity for arrogance or insubordination? That was suck. And make it very difficult for her to work w...
