1. Calling all SC nurses!!

   JillRene replied to Mandee's topic in General Nursing

   Hey !! Mandee and Becky, I left Charleston 3 1/2 years ago. I was a new grad, worked at Summerville Med. Ctr. I really liked the staff, but the work was hard, and the pay was crap. With 12 years experience you will probably make mid 20's. I loved...

2. "gypsy" nurses

   JillRene replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in General Nursing

   Man O' Man!!!! That was a terrible cut on Travelers, and personally I think it was a crock of DU-DU. I was a Traveler for 3 years, and I have worked with many Travelers. We were just as competent as a staff nurse. I was very offended when the art...

3. Clairol pulls commercial

   JillRene replied to SandySummers's topic in General Nursing

   The commercial that comments about the sleeping pill is suppose to be the commercial that is less offensive to nurses. The original commercial had the patient on telemetry, and then goes into V-tach while the nurse is washing her hair. The one that...

4. Tenet Shareholders Demand New CEO

   JillRene replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

   Hey SpaceNurse, You aren't annoying me. Makes me want to go out and try to get a job with Tenet. NOT!!!!! O' my gosh, I sure feel bad for those RN's. More power to them in finding other employment. I know it's easier said then done, but I wouldn...

5. Tenet Shareholders Demand New CEO

   JillRene replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism

   O' What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. The sad part about this is I'm not at all shocked. I wonder when corporate America will get it. How many times is this going to happen?? The only people that get hurt by this are...

6. What does a Nurse Recruiter actually do??

   JillRene replied to JillRene's topic in General Nursing

   Oramar: Finally, a reason why it all makes sense. Of Course!!! Management doesn't care about that pt., so you're right, why would they want to hire more Nurses. The floor nurse gets paid the same whether she has 5 patients or 10 patients, but t...

7. What does a Nurse Recruiter actually do??

   JillRene replied to JillRene's topic in General Nursing

   Gomer: I hear what you're saying, but 2 things are obvious. First, someone who developed all these reports and bullcrap paperwork had way to much time on their hands. Second, it's not an excuse to not do the job that you are hired to do. I can't ...

8. What does a Nurse Recruiter actually do??

   JillRene replied to JillRene's topic in General Nursing

   ZEE, I don't suppose you would like to come to the Pacific Northwest and train some Recruiters on how it is done??? It is just so typical that your evaluation would focus on the paperwork and not the fact that you actually recruited. I am more convi...

9. What does a Nurse Recruiter actually do??

   JillRene replied to JillRene's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks Jerry! Just to answer your question, I wasn't comparing Enron and American Airlines to recruiting, just to Hospital CEO's and Administrations, majority are just as dishonest as the CEO's that ran those companies. When you tell Nurses that we...

10. What does a Nurse Recruiter actually do??

    JillRene posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok Guys, I'll try and make this short, but it's my turn to vent..... I am a Travel Nurse, if you could call it that, I was with the same hospital for 3 years, just kept signing on for another 3 months. The hospital downsized,(combined floors), so th...

11. Show Bedside Nurses the Money

    JillRene replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

    -jt: I can't thank you enough for your proof that things are so out of whack!! I knew the money was going somewhere. I've always been referred to as the trouble-maker, so much so that I will no longer take a staff position in a hospital. I do tr...

12. Show Bedside Nurses the Money

    JillRene replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

    RN-PA, I agree, we should get to the root. It's time to start doing some research. Should we start with the hospital budget, health care insurance coverage, and the cost of pharmacutical products? I would love to meet a Journalist that would be wil...

14. Show Bedside Nurses the Money

    JillRene replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

    Boy, the more I sit here and think about this the angrier I get. As Nurses we have got to have more of an impact on the health care system. The good ole boy network has got to be closed down. I have no doubt that because nursing is a predominately...
