1. Anyone’s contract ever been cancelled?

   Jasel replied to Smoores's topic in Agency Nurses

   It happened to me recently. They cancelled me on March 9 when I had maybe about a month left. But they changed their mind like 4 days

2. Rude doctors

   Jasel replied to SnickerDoodle_RN's topic in Emergency

   If it was a nurse or a tech, I'd try other methods first like maybe having a calm discussion but for doctors?? Just report them to your manager. Chances are nothing is going to happen anyway. Every...

3. Process of getting hired

   Jasel replied to Chan Chan's topic in Agency Nurses

   Every agency I've been with, I heard about from other nurses I worked with. And the one travel contract I took I made sure I did my research before applying with them. Not to say all the ones you see...

4. Why working as an ED nurse so competitive?

   Jasel replied to ScaredRN's topic in Emergency

   It really depends on where you plan on working. I live in Chicago and from what I've seen it's not hard to find ER jobs. For new grads or foreign nurses. I've worked with plenty of both at every...

5. How does your ER handle level 3 ESI pts?

   Jasel replied to CTFD_RN's topic in Emergency

   The ER I'm currently contracted with assigns 4 - 6 patients. 2 being hallway patients. I've heard when extremely busy you can have 7 or 8 but apparently that's very rare. Also before bringing the...

6. Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

   Jasel replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

   It can be. I really think it just depends on the individual and their particular circumstances. For me the material wasn't hard so much as my procrastinating and lazy study habits. That made getting...

7. New grad nurse

   Jasel replied to Mjmail2956's topic in Illinois Nursing

   It depends on a lot of things. What type of jobs you're applying for, the area, the demand for specialties, etc. If you're in the Chicago area I'd recommend just applying and re-applying. If you're in...

8. Moving to Chicago

   Jasel replied to callie16's topic in Illinois Nursing

   The only hospitals I would avoid are Jackson Park and Roseland but I'm not even sure they have NICUs. With 3 years experience it depends on the hospital but I imagine you'd be making $32-$35. If you...

9. Triage scenario, opinions needed.

   Jasel replied to Jasel's topic in Emergency

   If the situation had escalated and they wanted to leave I would have spoken up, or at least asked the MD why we needed to keep them. But once they brought them back he assessed and discharged two of...

10. Triage scenario, opinions needed.

    Jasel replied to Jasel's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for the responses and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought that whole thing seemed off. I could try asking the MD next time I see

11. Triage scenario, opinions needed.

    Jasel posted a topic in Emergency

    So I was in Triage the other night and there was a pretty bad MVC. I think there were 6 accident victims total and we got the 3 least injured. Since triage was slow, there were two of us and we had 4...

12. Is it even possible to NOT work during nursing school?

    Jasel replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in General Students

    I didn't work while I was working on my ADN. Fortunately I had my LPN and had been working for a few years. I was able to live off the money I had saved up, plus I lived with my parents rent free, no...

13. To late to start?

    Jasel replied to Mburciaga's topic in Men in Nursing

    I've gone to nursing school with people in their 40's, 50's, and even 60's. I've also worked with plenty of nurses who started later as a second career in their 50s. I worked with one nurse in her 50s...

14. How do you travel to and around your assignment?

    Jasel replied to Jasel's topic in Travel

    Well I'm single, no girlfriend, no kids, and most of my friends are either moving off or getting married/starting families so I'm afraid I can't offer any wisdom in that regard lol. Balancing my life...

15. First Time Traveler Anxiety

    Jasel replied to L&D Bee's topic in Travel

    Well I'm not L&D but I know it's a pretty in-demand specialty, especially for travelers. I imagine wherever you go people will be used to dealing with travel and agency nurses anyway. I've been...
