1. Attitude towards Per Diem's?

   number41 replied to number41's topic in New Jersey

   Thank you all so much for your responses. I don't get it either. I am in grad school, I watch my children, and I hold down 2 PRN jobs. Both places have this attitude like "you don't want to work more?" if I don't do over the minimum requirement. When...

2. Attitude towards Per Diem's?

   number41 replied to number41's topic in New Jersey

   Thank you for your responses! Do you feel that Per Diem's who are only to fulfill the minimum, or around the minimum, are frowned up or talked about? I was consistently doing around 2 - 3 shifts a week until grad school began so I now I pretty much d...

3. Attitude towards Per Diem's?

   number41 posted a topic in New Jersey

   Hey all, I'm just curious what the attitude is towards Per Diem nurses where you work? I know each facility has a required number of shifts per month but what is the attitude on your unit towards how often a Per Diem should be there and how flexible?...

4. Too much on my plate?

   number41 replied to number41's topic in Career Support

   A coworker suggested leaving both and getting a home care job... he said the flexibility would be better. I'm curious, what do you expect of a Per Diem employee? What's the attitude where you work towards PRN people, how much they should be there etc...

5. Too much on my plate?

   number41 replied to number41's topic in Career Support

   Thanks Samantha! Do you think someone with only 2 years of experience will look bad for 2 jobs and leaving one in less than a year? That's my fear.. even though I am on great terms with both places.

   number41 posted a topic in Career Support

   Hi everyone, I graduated 2 years ago with my BSN and I'm currently in an APRN program. I have two PRN jobs, and I stay at home with the baby during the day (unless scheduled to work but typically I am with them). I'm averaging around 20 hours a week....

8. Detox nursing is sucking the life out of me

   number41 posted a topic in Addictions

   Hey all, I was wondering if anyone with detox nursing experience would care to share their experience? I have been a detox RN for almost a year and I feel like it has made me jaded and is making me question why I even became a nurse. Some days are be...

    Hey all, I am an RN and I've been accepted into grad school. If I attend the program I have been accepted to I have to retake Ethics and need to take Precalculus or Trig. I have to do this during Spring semester. I've already taken two Ethics courses...

11. Taking a job that isn't clinical, mistake?

    number41 replied to number41's topic in Job Hunt

    Not in the positions I'm looking at, none of them are a step back in terms of licensure (i.e. not a CNA or SNT position)... they require a license but they are more knowledge based than clinical (working for insurance companies, etc). no clinical at ...

14. Taking a job that isn't clinical, mistake?

    number41 replied to number41's topic in Job Hunt

    Thank you guys, appreciate the insight. I have actually heard similar things (mixed things) about whether or not clinical is required to be an APRN. In my area, I have seen a lot of positions posted for an APRN or PA and new grads accepted without cl...

    number41 posted a topic in Job Hunt

    I graduated in May and passed my boards, I haven't been able to find anything. I have applied in neighboring states, in the north east. I have done everything from PRN to FT at hospitals, assisted livings, behavioral, substance abuse, you name it. No...
