   Are you allowed to negotiate once they tell you their offer? Like if they try to start me at level 1 but I should be a 2, am I allowed to ask for that?

   Hello all. I received a tentative offer from the VA. I’ve really been trying hard to understand the grade, level and pay and I just don’t get it. For those who do understand it can you give me an idea of what they might offer? I have a BSN with two c...

   Rn4life27 replied to Rn4life27's topic in General Nursing

   And I'm not really sure how you do not know me but yet seem to think that I am "rushing" things? I have had my RN since 2009 and have struggling to find a job due to this economy. If anything it's aBout damn time I actually started my career! I'm pro...

6. Night Shift Help!!

   Rn4life27 replied to Rn4life27's topic in General Nursing

   Many civilians seem to think that the military pays out the hooha and all there is to do is sit back and enjoy the $$... SO wrong! My husbands pay checks barely cover our car note let alone our other bills! Even with us both working we still struggle...

   I officially have up the Danskos. My poor pinky toes just couldn't so it anymore. I got some Nike glycerine a with gel inserts. They seem to be working well. I got the men's size because my feet are too damn wide! I think that's my problem with Dansk...

   I am slowly getting use to working nights. My husband has been a huge help! My son goes to daycare so there is someone to watch him while mommy catches up on zzzzz's. I do not see myself doing nights forever though...

9. Danskos?

    I am still on orientation with my unit and switched to night shift after working days (I applied for nights, we need the $$). What tips can you give me to make sure I get enough sleep but also spend time with my family? I have a one year old and my h...

11. What does "primary care" mean?

    Rn4life27 replied to Rn4life27's topic in General Nursing

    See, if we were kept at 4 patients, fine. But from what I hear (I just started this job two weeks ago) and from what I have seen, they do not have the staff to keep nurses at just 4 patients. My preceptor was assigned 6 patients with no CNA. Even wit...

12. What does "primary care" mean?

    Rn4life27 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My hospital is thinking of getting rid of CNA's and go to primary care. What does that mean exactly? If it means what I think it means, it means we are in for PURE HELL!!
