  1. Who HATES the term MURSE?

    Yah Fiona, to my understanding, the term is now more affiliated to a "man purse" than a "male nurse". I really think the stigma / preconcieved notions / level of ignorance among the general public about men in nursing is fading away.
  2. Starting Davis & Elkins with Wifey in Aug.

    Thanks for the good wishes! We will be moving from W.V. We've been looking primarily in Texas, though have options in Virginia and Georgia as well. Things are still playing out. As far as D&E, we chose the school for the instant admission and...

  4. Interview etiquette for finding out the pay!!!

  5. Interview etiquette for finding out the pay!!!

    Dude, you're GOLDEN! You have the power to negotiate because of your ample experience. Us new grad peons just get to take what they offer and deal with it....not that it's really all that horrible.

  9. Interview etiquette for finding out the pay!!!

    Any suggestions how to make a recovery with a place I REAALLLLLYYY want to work at? I've only spoken with the RN recruiter, no nurse managers.

    OK, OK I give... I may not necessarily agree, but I clearly see the point being made. No more asking about pay. :trc:
  11. Interview etiquette for finding out the pay!!!

    I know it's "proper" not to ask, but it just doesn't make much sense. I'm interviewing over the phone with these people and some of them are very difficult to get ahold of. When you finally have someone on the phone who can answer all your question...

    So, why especially in this economy? Why do the tough time make it a more sensitive issue?
