3. Hospital Interview

   Suga Moore posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello, I hope that everyone is having a great day! I am looking for some advice. I have a hospital interview coming up and I feel that being well informed will help me be successful in the interview for a graduate nurse position at a local hospital...

4. Do you still have energy to cook after a 12 hour shift?

   Suga Moore replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

   I used to do a lot of crock pot stuff, like crock pot meatloaf or crock pot glazed chicken, but I bought a pressure cooker and now I am so freaking happy!!!! That thing is seriously quick. Like I just did a quick meal.......half a cup of water, a fe...

5. Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

   Suga Moore replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

   Nursing is a hard major and it's sink or swim, so you better worry about keeping your grades up because it's harder to get out of a hole then it is to stay afloat. It takes more than one bad grade to get a 1.9 so if her degree program isn't working ...

6. Pay Rate Jealousy

   Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

   Hello everyone. I didn't want to leave this thread without commenting on what eventually happened. I did get a cushy raise and I can now focus more on working towards my RN degree. I guess enough grumbling reached enough ears; also companies pay a...

7. Pay Rate Jealousy

   Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

   This is starting to look like a "Southern Trend." I guess I better check out some salary websites of neighboring areas.

8. Pay Rate Jealousy

   Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

   Ok, I might not agree with everything you're saying, but I can respect it. If I stay with this company, due to how their raises are set, this situation will not get better, so I guess I do need to look at companies who take more than time into consi...

9. Pay Rate Jealousy

   Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

   Someone said that I can start a union for nurses.......I will look into this. Another person said to switch jobs......I really hate job hopping. Maybe when I finish my RN I can renegotiate a higher salary.......I like this idea.

10. Pay Rate Jealousy

    Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

    I am not familiar enough with the RN role to honestly answer that question. I can only speak on roles that I have worked, such as aide or l.p.n. I guess that it would depend on job duties and experience, now wouldn't it? What I do know is: An LPN i...

11. Pay Rate Jealousy

    Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

    Yeah, last year I worked as an aide in the South and my pay was $9 an hour and I felt that was too low for the work that an aide does. Although I felt that way, the starting pay for an l.p.n here is starting at $14 an hour at clinics/hospitals and $...

12. Pay Rate Jealousy

    Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

    Well, maybe it's because of their union because the nurses don't have one........

13. Pay Rate Jealousy

    Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

    I was an aide for many years and in my post I said that they work hard, but I do too, and I do believe that asking for compensation for a skill set that I had to be licensed for is fair. I didn't just fall off a turnip truck and decide to be a nurse...

14. Pay Rate Jealousy

    Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in LPN/LVN

    Why is this ridiculous? Nurses on contract are sometimes asked not to discuss how much they are earning. Some companies have rules in place like that, but I don't feel that it's "ridiculous" in any way.

15. Obese Nurse....I feel like a fraud

    Suga Moore replied to Suga Moore's topic in Stress 101

    What a lovely group of people on this site and thank you all for your comments! Maybe I can get some blood work panels done and start from there.
