  1. The other day I encountered a patient with an aggressive family - I got the feeling that they perhaps are scammers looking for some kind of payout, based on the way they were acting. At one point the patient's son took out his phone and started filmi...
  2. It seems like everyone but nurses make more money

    this, and also from my observations most people who are top earners and love what they do have uber-specialized skills/training, are great at what they do, *and* there aren't many people who can do exactly what they do. Nurses are a dime a dozen. Nur...
  3. Ask for advice (then explain why it's wrong)

    Most of the time, people will straight up tell you what they are seeking and what the purpose of their OP is. I see a lot of topics where the OP says something like "i made this mistake /did something wrong; now what should i do?" and then a pile-on ...
  4. HELP! Physical Therapy Tech

    just go for physical therapist assistant. two years at a community college and you graduate with little to no debt. PTA's don't actually make that much less than PTs in most markets. In my city PTAs make about 75% the pay of PTs, without the student ...
  5. breaking a travel contract?

    that does help; thank you. this is one of my housemates and i looked at the contract, and yeah it is very one-sided, and the penalties for cancelling or getting cancelled are vague and not at all spelled out. she's been having random episodes of pas...
  6. breaking a travel contract?

    i know. what was your experience with breaking a contract (and/or having one cancelled by a facility)?
  7. breaking a travel contract?

    i edited to clarify no specifics are in the contract re: penalties and cancellation. Not in company-provided housing. they expect to forfeit any housing /per diem stipends and have paychecks withheld. but how likely is the agency trying to charge the...
  8. breaking a travel contract?

    i'm asking for someone else, so will try to give more info without being overly specific. recent health issues, has been off of work for all of last week (with dr's note) and no improvement. guessing the hospital is going to cancel the contract. th...
  9. breaking a travel contract?

    has anyone here worked as a travel nurse and had to break a contract early? What was your situation and what were the consequences?
  10. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    unfortunately not quite. :/ flu shots contain egg protein, and depending on the type are incubated either in egg or mammal/insect cells.
  11. also along those lines, for individual nurses: say you work 3 shifts a week and are paid $25/hr. If you don't take a lunch AND don't get paid for that 30 minutes, you're giving your employer $37.50 /week of work for FREE. If you work 50 weeks a year...
  12. better yet! i signed a contract to play with an orchestra. :)
  13. Can I lose my license???

    using your first name (if indeed Ruby is your first name) on here is probably a bad idea as well.
  14. Violinist and violin teacher. I went into nursing because after conservatory training i allowed my parents to convince me that no one makes a living in the arts, blah blah blah. I hated nursing ever since my first day job-shadowing. tomorrow is my l...
  15. Nurses Enabling Substance Abusers

    I will give patients whatever they want, as long as the physician has ordered it and their vitals check. because i do not have the energy to deal with whiners all day every day. you can explain to these people until the cows come home, why it's not i...
