4. Pay grade: experienced nurse vs new grad

   krRN86 replied to rehric00's topic in General Nursing

   Gets under my skin..but I agree with BTDT...go to HR. I'm sure they will tell you they cannot discuss another person's pay with you but they should be able to tell you starting salary for new grads and you can plead your case their. It probably won't...

   krRN86 replied to MIRN923's topic in General Nursing

   I always feel a little guilt calling out too....but I've come to realize co-workers feel no guilt. I've had to step up plenty of times when staffing was low and it made my day suck, however, I'm sure the one calling out was not sitting at home wantin...

   I love my sketcher's memory foam as well. I own Danskos but find they hurt sometimes. Tips I have for you : Be on time. You can be sent home from clinicals for being even a minute late. Try to keep opinions to yourself. Nurses tend to eat their youn...
