   tonypeggy replied to kay laurie's topic in Geriatric

   Just wanted to let you know that I agree - your new certification is most definitely something to flaunt on your resume. I would want to do the same.

2. Anyone else tired of LTC?

   tonypeggy replied to lumbarpain's topic in Geriatric

4. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

   tonypeggy replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I thought we were supposed to be the patients' advocate. If the patient can't understand the nurse, then the nurse better start writing things down or get a translator to follow her around. Good grief, I'd complain, too. I think I'd get more tired of...

   Great points!!! Thank you for your insight. For some reason I thought it might be "unprofessional" to ask for a higher salary. . . I don't feel guilty anymore. I'll let everyone know how it comes out.

8. am I being greedy?

   tonypeggy posted a topic in General Nursing

   I need some advice. I have two job offers, very similar: same # of hours, benefits, etc., except one pays $1 more per hour. That extra pay is significant to me due to my current situation. I think I would prefer the lower salaried job more just becau...

9. I'm going from Med/Surg to Nursing Home

   tonypeggy replied to tonypeggy's topic in New Nurse

   I can't thank you enough for your belief in me. I've applied to another hospital in this area; however, the person in charge there knows I was a new-grad starting at this first hospital. I enclosed an explanation of why I discontinued the preceptorsh...

    tonypeggy replied to tonypeggy's topic in New Nurse

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write. When I talked to my supervisor last she stated there was no time left for me to get caught up to where they thought I should be. It was very clear they didn't want me there. I suggested another unit,or ...

    Thank you, Healthy RN, for your input. Yes, they talked to me twice before this last time. I was open ears and assured them that I am always looking for ways to do things better, and their suggestions were good ones and I left the meetings excited to...
