This dicussion actually makes me angry. It makes me REALLY angry. I can't beleive it is even being debated. You have to take off your coverings to scrub in for surgery, it's that simple. If...

You did nothingwrong, in my opinion, that is going above and beyond "the call" and your manager should thank you for it.

I've heard nothing about nurse salary changes. I do agree that the healthcare system would crumble if we did not have nurses (obviously). If the salary was dropped even a little, I imagine we...

If you don't get at least teary eyed at one point in your career as a nurse, then you went into the profession for the wrong reasons, IMO. I guess it depends upon where you work. Not ALL...

I pray that my landlord will change his mind and let me get a dog.... I'm so lonely! haha.

sounds like their laziness is creating unsafe environment for the patients. That is definitely something to be angry about. I would report them to whoever is above you..to someone who can fire...

Hmm...Interesting. Very nice plan BTW. Nice to see such a business oriented woman. Now you can imagine running your apartment complex with your current stress free job, but life may be a lot...

I think you'll NEVER find a job that is as cozy as the one you're in right now. i would stay. What sort of project are you talking about? Maybe you could finance differently? Or maybe you...

welcome! How long have you lived in the States?

I would just swallow my pride and thank them for doing the job of two people (even if you're not sure of it), and tell them that you will keep an eye on the other aide. Tell them that if you...

everyone asks me why I'm in college, and I always respond with a chuckle as I tell them that I'm going to be a nurse. They say "why are you laughing? That's awesome"! I was dragged out to a bar...

I guess I grew up in a bubble, or I just know nothing about unions/strikes, because I thought I would never have to be a part of one...I hope I was right, but it's not looking that way. Will the...

That's just what happens when places are understaffed. The aides are overworked and so are you. You need their help, but they are already overloaded, and have probably been mistreated by about 75...

Wow...That is new information to me... That's terrible... People get in over their heads with stupid loans for corvettes, sports cars, excessively large homes, and they are "forgiven". But the...

If they can afford to pay the "scabs" that amount of money, why don't they just hire more nurses so the ratios will be acceptable? It seems like it would be MUCH cheaper.... This world is such a...

You are right about a few things: 1) hospital are a business. 2) insurance companies are the culprits. Health care is a 90 BILLION dollar per year "business". There IS money out there for...

those links are no good. One requires me to log in, and the other is longer hosted at that site. This is interesting. I would like to read more about it.

She's right. A private loan is more than double the interest of a gov't loan. If you are only looking for eight thousand a year, you should try gov't loans. They will allow for a certain amount...

Nancy...You didn't make a bad decision, you made a GOOD decision. You were prioritizing. I am sure the other things you were taking care of would have affected those patients more than just having...

spend "that much time?" You have the rest of your life to work. 1 more year of school now will be the difference of you getting that job or department switch that you want (at the VERY least). Not...

I don't think a BSN should be a MUST. I do think that a BSN nurse should be paid more than someone with an associates or a diploma. Don't you agree? This could be some of the problem...
