  1. "Too aggressive" it almost sounds like something else is going on here that they are not making you aware of. Sending "thank you" cards is still pretty much standard practice for post interview.
  2. slower paced nursing in long term care?

    I worked LTC for a number of years. As for it being slow paced, let's put it this way; I was lucky to get a lunch break once a month. Sometimes I could not even take a pee break without being interrupted. That goes for the 2 to 3 hour morning med pas...
  3. upper chesapeake medical center

    In spite of the pay, when I worked there it was a hell hole, and it has gotten worse since I left. It is currently being taken over (or merged with) University of Maryland medical center system, so maybe it will improve. You probably already know thi...
  4. Why are Nurses in MD not organized labor wise?

    I wish we were unionized. I have seen Maryland nurses take a lot of abuse from management. I've been thinking of moving to a union state just for that benefit. If you can get a full time job with a county health department, you can be in a union. If ...
  5. Can I get a hard copy of my license thru BON?

    The MBON stated several years ago that they will no longer issue hard copy licenses. As stated above, you just have to print out the page from their web site.
  6. 3 Day Phlebotomy training course...can I get a job??

    if you want to get a job as a phlebotomist, you will need to take a phlebotomy theory class as well as a clinical. in the clinical you will have to do a certain amount of successful sticks during the course of the clinical (these successful sticks wi...
  7. What is the difference between LPNs and RNs?

    >What is the difference between LPNs and RNs? About $10 an hour.
  8. Can I carry my own pulse ox?

    Just make sure it is FDA approved and not the kind they sell at Walgreens (or whereever) for sports use. You can get an FDA approved pulse ox for as low as in the $30 range. Check out Devon.
  9. I've seen this exact same tactic used to get rid of nurses in LTC where I used to work. My suggestion is to document everything, and try to get whatever you can in writing from the DON or ADON. If you are fired, you will have something to present to ...
  10. I need suggestions for a lab kit

    OK, I went to Dicks Sporting Goods this morning and got the following: Plano Field Box. It is nice and deep. http://www.amazon.com/Plano-1612-Water-Resistant-Field/dp/B000P3WS02 Pop the top of this box and you have a 50 tube holder: http://www.farman...
  11. I need suggestions for a lab kit

    I am currently using a small fishing box for my blood draw kit. I'm running out of room in it. Can anyone recommend a good box for a blood draw kit? It has to have a covered top, not like the lab trays that you see in the hospital.
  12. Salary???

    I work for salary, but if I exceed my productivity (based on point system) I get paid per deim for those visits over productivity. I think this is very fair. I also get paid flat rates for any mandatory meetings.
  13. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    I was out of steady work for 7 months last year until I found a good job in November.
  14. Nursing Application Photos: Discrimination or Not

    I think requiring a picture is a excuse for age discrimination that could never be proven.
  15. <NEW GRAD for a year now, NO JOB!

    There is a brand new domain called .jobs http://nurse.jobs/ It supposedly has all the listings even the "pay for" sites have.
