2. How does on-call nursing work exactly?

   Aliens05 replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

   If it's a 24/7 on call type deal don't ever take a base salary unless it is an astronomical offer $$$$$. Otherwise you will making what most hourly people make, possibly SLIGHTLY more, and working endless hours per week. Trust me, it isn't worth it. ...

3. Nurses with Unusual Diets

   Aliens05 replied to SilverBells's topic in Exercise

   I would never really try to tell someone how to eat, most of my friends and my wife have diets where they don't watch what they eat, however my diet is on the opposite end of the spectrum as yours, maybe or maybe not to an extreme, IDK. I have a...

4. Help with salary

   Aliens05 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I know discussing salary is looked down upon, so I have been reluctant to discuss it with my co workers. But I need some help with figuring out a fair salary. I have never been salaried before, so I am unsure of what to ask for. I calculated my hourl...

5. Should I resign, or wait it out?

   Aliens05 replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the reply. If I resign via email I will not go in to the meeting because they're using the meeting as the method to fire, so I'm worried about them firing me before I resign. Either way it's a crappy situation, when I talk about getting fi...

7. Should I resign, or wait it out?

   Aliens05 replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

   They haven't let me know this in any form whatsoever, or even let on to that its a possibility, even though I know it is. Is it too late to send an email with my resignation?

8. Should I resign, or wait it out?

   Aliens05 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So, I will try not to get specific about what is going on, but give enough background to hopefully help answer my question. Essentially I don't know if I should resign or wait and see what happens. I had a "meeting" with Human Resources the other da...

9. Any nurses pursue master degree that is not related to nursing?

   Aliens05 replied to juviasama's topic in General Nursing

   Have you done anything with the computer information management degree? Just curious as I was considering a similar degree before completion of my ADN, however I could never find out much information about the day to day tasks associated with the deg...

10. Novel Coronavirus: Month Two

    Aliens05 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in COVID

    Has it been confirmed yet if this started with consumption of a snake or a bat? I have heard both in different articles, but wasn't sure if they ever confirmed or denied one or the other. It seems likely that this also could have originated from the ...

11. Live in lpn

    Aliens05 replied to Rockinurse's topic in General Nursing

    Would they pay for two/three nurses who don't live there and come care for him in shifts? Say they did like a 6a-6p and a 6p-6a. In that situation no nurses would have to live there. If the insurance company would pay for 24 hour care, and they just ...

    We get about 16 hours of paid time off per month, no 401k, no additional sick days other than your paid time off hours, no pension, insurance was free last year, but this year it is 25 bucks every two weeks for the lowest tier, which isn't very good,...

13. Nebraska Methodist college

    Aliens05 replied to Leahl123's topic in School Programs

    From my understanding it seems like a pretty good school from talking to the students, challenging like any good nursing school, tests weekly which I'm sure is the norm. Seems like they have a good amount of clinical opportunities that we did not get...

    Aliens05 replied to Leahl123's topic in School Programs

    just any general info? I went to Metro CC, not Methodist, but I have met a lot of nurses who did attend Methodist and at my job we have Methodist students who come to shadow or do clinicals here in our group home setting. Because of this I have spoke...

15. Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

    Aliens05 replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    I quit a job that I did three 12s at for a job with five 8s, mostly for the reason of just being able to actually DO something on the days that I work. I like to go to the gym 6 days a week. Working 12s does not allow for that opportunity, you have t...
