  1. I worked at St. John Main for a couple years. No complaints from me. If anything they didn't fire people who needed to be fired, like about 33% of their PCTs who's work ethics were TERRIBLE.
  2. Master's after 40, is it worth it?

    No. Enjoy life before you go senile.
  3. Macomb Community Graduates 2012-13

    I didn't do any reading at all the 2nd year and ended up with all B's or higher. But I'm really smart.
  4. Who cares? You are waaaaaaay overly hung up on this issue. Actually you sound really weird.
  5. Just Curious ?

    Disimpacting bowels and missing on attempts at ABGs. No honestly I like the fast pace. I like not knowing what I'm going to see. And I also like not having the same patients for the entire shift as we send them home or to the floor as quick as poss...
  6. What if you fail ?

    They use you as a colonoscopy practice dummy for residents. Then they hang you.
  7. To All Female Nurses ????

    Hahaha! What? Since female nurses are known to be demure ladies who only speak when spoken to, I'll handle this for them. They worshop male nurses as father figures that lead them. What are you trying to ask?
  8. Testicular cancer highest risk group is teen to 35 in males. A testicular exam is important but even more important is teaching the boys to do their own every month. Nobody knows what their testicles feel like better than a teenage boy(trust me, I ...
  9. Salary question?

    I am boarderline emotionless at work. Which is a step up from many nurses who are downright hostile with patients who don't behave in the manner in which the nurse expects them to. What I am is competent and professional. I take pride in my assess...
  10. Salary question?

    Don't listen to the myth that you can't get into nursing for the money. I got into it only for the money and job security and have been doing it well for years. Never even considered nursing until I was getting pushed out of a 9 year job in busines...
  11. Moving to Michigan....

    Did I just read someone BRAGGING about Amway being from Michigan? Anyone who knows anything about that legalized pyramid scheme is ashamed of it not bragging about it.
  12. "Nurse" wins powerball

    I'm an RN and I couldn't care less who(PCT, RCA, IBM, ATT, USA, ect) calls themselves a "nurse". And in fact I consider LPNs to be "nurses". Oh no! The humanity! As long as I'm still paid what I'm paid, whatever.
  13. How's the pay compared to local hospitals?
  14. Too Little, Too Late.....Too Bad

    Sorry to hear about your troubles. Don't take the lack of loyalty personally. We are all expendable no matter what position we have. That's the nature of business. Any new position you get will boot you just as quick if the budget has to be cut.
  15. Tonight's Boston Med: nurses featured!

    You cannot discharge a patient until his/her ETOH level is below the legal limit. In fact they can't even sign out AMA until ETOH is below the legal limit(although they won't need to because we boot them out the door as soon as they are beneath .08)...
