  1. Where does the job end?

    I really like some of the comments to this post. I couldn't believe the amount of hrs I was putting in daily, as you described. I too am a mom (single) with a
  2. Are student loans haunting you?

    Damn! Some of these student loan amounts are scary. I have the standard amount which is about 20000 and it is still a nighmare. I had a scholarship to pay my tuition and took out loans for room and board. I almost went back to school but couldn t fa...
  3. So frustrated I could cry

    This is terrible. All I can say is have faith and do what you have to do to survive. As for the loans, if they are federal student loans you can get on the income based repayment plan. Which is exactly what it sounds like. It is based off your income...
  4. Hello people! Are there any RNs that have one pt and that is their ft job. I am kind of ****** off, because I'm not really getting anywhere career wise doing this. I love my pt but sometimes I feel like less of a nurse. I would really like to wor...
  5. Anyone work in HH as new grad and do just fine?

    I can t say I would recommend it but I started in HH as a new grad. I have worked as a CM and it is very demanding. You will be overwhelmed and there will be situations in which you will wish you had more experience. I was unsuccessful as a case m...

  7. Home Health RNs paperwork out of control

    Absolutelt, it is far too much.
  8. What exactly is so bad about LTC??

    AtheistRN are u sure ltc nurses make less than hospital counterparts? Well not in my area. Ltc pay is the same if not more. Pay isn t this issue for me it s all the stuff you can not possibly do in 8 or 12hours. It s ridiculous i will graciously take...
  9. Pass meds & chart!!! Well, when i get a chance i will!!!

    When will something be done about this? I wanted to try a different area of nursing and ltc is not it. After 18hrs of work I have decided to leave. There are too many things for 1 nurse to do. I was already outdone with the endless laundry list of ta...
  10. How in the freaking world are you a nurse???

    What in the devil? Sounds like a sociopath. I would not be able to tolerate her ignorance.
  11. "No nurses of color....."

    I am a nurse of color and I wouldn t care. Just honar the request. I had a patient refuse care from me because she felt I was too young. She also stated I listened to her lungs while she was on the phone......***** I was baffled by this but life goe...
  12. I have no idea but your description of the whole scenerio was hilarious.
  13. Why do some RNs hate this?

    I get upset because it is not true. You do not get paid enough for the responsibilty you have. I am not going to pretend that I don t get paid well, but I don t make a ton of money.I
  14. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    I am a relatively new RN/BSN and I would never go to a job fair/interview dressed like you described or behave in such a fashion. I believe those nurses were unprofessional and will be on the job hunt for quite sometime with those behaviors.
  15. I feel stuck!!!!

    Thanks, yup I'm bored. I feel like I wasted my time. I do love being a nurse but like I said privated duty is boring. Now that I have a child my schedule is a bit more rigid but before her I would work any shift, and day of the week, holidays, etc....
