4. Negotiating new pay rate after contract signed

   StacyAtheNurse replied to Mrs Badcrumble's topic in Travel

   I’ll tell you what they told me after they increased the rate for my job by $1000/week. You signed the contract at that rate, which indicated that you were agreeable to the rate provided. Unfortunately, unless you break the contract and attempt to be...

5. Leaving current contract because half the staff are disrespectful

   StacyAtheNurse replied to astralseed's topic in Travel

   This is your second assignment so you likely got lucky with your first. People complain in the OR. I found myself telling people I was an agency nurse not a traveler (I am a local traveler) and that helped to ease the sting. I’m in my last week and t...

6. Is seeing a pt in Preop really a must for OR nurses??

   StacyAtheNurse replied to Guest 1170770's topic in Operating Room

   I believe it depends on what infrastructure is available in your hospital. In my hospital, it is not necessary to see the patient in the preop. In fact, it would probably take you 10 minutes to walk over there because it’s so far away (our OR is huge...

7. Call pay?

   StacyAtheNurse replied to lovey0830's topic in Operating Room

   That's what I'm talking about. You wouldn't have to beg people to take call if you would pay them appropriately. They have to remind people to be professional and cordial at my job when they post call (half of which is already taken before they even ...

8. Pay Raises, Bonuses and Incentives: Where Are We?

   StacyAtheNurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

   My hospital gave nurses (all employees got a stipend, but depending on your position, your stipend amount varied) $2,500, if you worked full-time hours for even one week during the covid surge. They provided 20 days of daycare, and if you just h...

9. COVID-19: Stimulus Checks for Teachers?

   StacyAtheNurse replied to DallasRN's topic in COVID

   There are some interesting things to unpack here, but as a nurse married to a teacher (we will not be getting a stimulus as we do not live in that state), my husband was 100% working during the pandemic. Albeit, he was not in person, but he was still...

10. NYP COLUMBIA TO CORNELL TRANSFER

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Taliegalvez's topic in Career Support

    Hey, you can park in Payton, or one of the other parking lots. Let me warn you though, it’s pricy, even WITH the discount. If you live in Manhattan you shouldn’t even waste your time with a car. I live in north Bx and I would just take the expr...

    Hey, Im surprised you ask this here instead of to your coworkers, but lucky for you, I have done this before, twice. LOL Just apply though workday, do your interview, accept the offer if you like it, inform your manager and select your last date at ...

13. Got my antibody test results

    StacyAtheNurse replied to bossfrog's topic in COVID

    Had I known, we would have tried to get our vacation rescheduled. But I suppose that I’m saying that in retrospect. I honestly don’t even remember being concerned about COVID. I don’t remember it being something that I thought pertained to me. I do r...

14. Got my antibody test results

    StacyAtheNurse replied to bossfrog's topic in COVID

    I travelled to Africa and the middle east back in February. I remember seeing tons of people wearing masks in the airport, and did not know what was up, but I was so excited to go on my vacation, I didn't give it much thought. When I got to the airpo...

    StacyAtheNurse replied to gabe55605's topic in Men

    I love my male nurses. I work in the OR and the majority of my coworkers are men. It makes for a rowdy lunchroom and front desk but I love it.
