  1. Disrespectful, Lazy CNAs who bully

    I have found that the quality of cna's has really gone down the tubes and that only a small minority are good efficient workers. As to their pay being too low I disagree. They are basicly unskilled workers and if they have the ability they can increa...
  2. New Grad/Hate My Job/Life is Miserable!

    That is a sad story and certainly not the story of the majority of nurses. I went to St Francis Medical Center School of Nursing a little while after graduating I started working there. I had previously worked there before I got my license as an orde...
  3. What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

    I would much rather work 8 hour shifts but there are very few around any more. I was working 7 12 hour shifts every 2 weeks but management lowered it to six because of the over time..4 hours what a joke
  4. Quick question from a new grad floating to ICU

    One day when I was working on a step down unit as a fairly new nurse I was doing an overtime shift. I was in the assignment area and the pm supervisor called me and an agency nurse. He said to me go to ICU, you are in charge and the agency nurse is w...
  5. The Florida job market cannot be this bad?!

    A lot of getting a job depends on being in the right place and the right time. You also have to be able to sell yourself to the interviewer as the person they are looking for. I would recomend you start reading some of the self help books on salesman...
  6. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts??

    I do not like 12 hour shifts. I work nites and only have energy to sleep on my days off. We work 7 days over 2 weeks and it wears me out.
  7. Tattoos/Piercings in the workplace?

    I have worked in nursing and in sales for most of my life and I have learned to never show anything that might upset or offend your client. This includes my tatoos, I always wear long sleeves which in nursing is a good idea anyway. I always am clean ...
  8. Fake nursing/CNA licenses or what?

    There are many people practicing illegally and this matter should be brought to the attention of management and the Boards. It is a red flag that you found so many.

    It is unfortunate you got into that position. I would take steps to make sure that it did not happen again.
  10. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    I guess I have missed out on something in life. In my fifty adult years I have worked in all areas of many cities and rural locations and never felt the need to carry a firearm. This includes many jobs where all the work was done in the worst areas o...
  11. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    As far as I know firearms have only one use and are designed to cause injury of varying degree. People and the other items you speak of are used for many different and positive things the majority of the time.

  13. Understanding Pay (Wage) vs. Per Diem

    It is sad when nursing comes down to accounting. I work on salary now as an RN nurse consultant for a charitable organization. They are very skimpy and try to get as much work as possible for as little pay as possible. They often try to sneak in taki...
