  1. Curious about the VA HOSPITAL

    Regarding the application process....I was told by a VA nurse recruiter that resumes are very different for the govt. Real world resumes should be no more than 2 pages, but govt expects maximum detail. Your resume should read something like the job...
  2. Lets talk about $$$

    I worked for an agency that paid per visit (no bennies except 0.52/mile). $120 SOC, $90 ROC, $80 Recert and $35 SNV. Apparently that was too much as the owner decided to have only LVNs do SNV to save money (@ $25 SNV). Today I interviewed with an ...
  3. Lets talk about $$$

    What is a RV? Recert? Regular visit? How can an LVN do a Recert?
  4. "Fee Basis" Exemption for Home Health Nurses

    I recently interviewed with an agency that paid per hour. The interviewer let slip that they had just had an audit by the TX Labor Board regarding pay-per-visit on the weekend. She said the Labor Board said they had to pay BY THE HOUR. I know most...
  5. "Fee Basis" Exemption for Home Health Nurses

    I've been paid by the hour and then switched to PPV and it came out pretty much the same, but no overtime is involved. The pay rate can be pretty good: SOC: $120, ROC: $90.00, Recert: $80.00, SNV: $35.00. I've seen people on salary and they ha...
  6. Ever have a patient work your very last nerve?

    What's bad is when they demand a different nurse for no reason other than because you try to ignore their obnoxiousness.
  7. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Have you seen how much insurance premiums are going up due to Obamacare?6.3% Health Premium Increases Projected for 2013
  8. Are you having difficulty finding work?

    Yes, I'm a seasoned nurse in east TX experienced in home health and Med/surg and I've been looking for 2 months. No offers except possibly PRN infusion work, but they are really slow...I am not getting this: They had me sign an offer letter, then t...
  9. Is your Hospital requiring a copy of your diploma or transcripts?

    I don't see why they need this. TX does not issue paper licenses anymore. Employers have to verify licenses online with the State Board of Nursing. I don't see how anyone can commit fraud under this system, unless the employer doesn't actually do ...
  10. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    MBARNBSN...you must get all your info from the NYTimes. Killing off Medicare and Social Security? Really? Sounds like typical leftwing scare tactics. And you believe Obamacare will actually be 'affordable'? The insurance companies will be the b...
  11. Verbal Abuse...I Gave What I Got...

    I only lasted a couple of months in a small town ER. That was more than enough. If you're livid when elderly people come in behaving like they own the place, yelling and complaining about everything and demanding to speak to the administrator....yo...
  12. "Fee Basis" Exemption for Home Health Nurses

    The salary positions I've seen expect the nurse to see 15+ patients per day!
  13. Does Your Agency Set a Limit on Visits?

    The agency I work for is very small and ONLY takes Medicare referrals.
  14. No need to be upset at the truth! Change careers

    Some people self identify with passions in which they are unable to make a living. Aside from trust fund babies, most of us have to work for a living and nursing is a good choice in terms of financial stability. Not everyone wants to be 'remembered...
  15. Don't you just hate it when you are scheduled to work on a holiday?

    Some hospitals are not paying holiday pay anymore!
