  1. Looking for Feedback

    neurorn6 replied to Spendercash's topic in Travel

    I'm talking to AMN, NHS and RNNetwork. It can be overwhelming. NHS has been the most up front as far as pay has been concerned. Basically, asking how much I want to make as to not waste my time or...

  2. Travel/Compact Status

    neurorn6 replied to Nidgma's topic in Travel

    The issue is properly the fact that you never got a VA license and that's the state that you are using as a primary residence. It can be a red flag to the IRS and other agencies. I really don't know...

  4. stress in er and icu

    neurorn6 replied to Maco's topic in General Nursing

    Med/Surg is a great learning base for new grads. You learn to priorize, you learn how to deal with "docs" and you learn how to deal with families. I worked med/surg before moving on to ICU and the ER....

    neurorn6 replied to destiney's topic in General Nursing

    Homework or not, it is a valid question. Yes, nursing is a profession. Unfortunately, it is a profession that other professional do not take as seriously as nurses do. Secondly, attitudes within this...

  9. What is going on???

    neurorn6 replied to RNontheroad's topic in Travel

    I'm taking my first travel assignment this week. I'm like you, I'm in it for the money and to get away from the politics. I have to say that from the companies I have spoken with, there are decent...

  10. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    neurorn6 replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    The truth of the matter is that administration feels that they can threaten nurses rather you work in a union facility and especially if you don't. Do we work in a career that has life and death...

    neurorn6 replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

  12. PBDS test

    neurorn6 replied to MistyDawnRN06's topic in Travel

    neurorn6 replied to Rhody's topic in Travel

    Hey Rhody, Actually, every company I spoke with had positions in CA, just depended on what I was looking for. CA doesn't do anything for me, although one of my friends who traveled, said Santa Barbara...

    neurorn6 replied to lenjoy03's topic in General Nursing

  17. Nurses Make The Big Bucks

    neurorn6 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    The sad truth of the matter is that across the board we make less than we should. If you live in areas of KY, TN your pay rate is horrible and the benefits, if you can call them that aren't worth what...

  18. biased workplace!!

    neurorn6 replied to lenjoy03's topic in General Nursing

  20. Can I get in trouble for this????

    neurorn6 replied to vanurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    First off, take a deep breath. You are not the first nurse, nor will you be the last nurse to second guess themselves. Patient was AAO, you checked the patient's sats, replaced O2 via NC. You...

  21. Magnet Hosp?

    neurorn6 replied to daisymurphydog's topic in General Nursing

    It really amazes me that nurses have not banded together. With our knowledge, our work ethic, compassion and devotion, nurses could change the world. We are the eyes and ears of phyisicans. We did...

  22. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    neurorn6 replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If you have been working in this field long enough, you soon learn that what really matters is the experience you bring to the table. We all start out as brand new, rather you have an LPN, ADN, BSN or...

    The differences between ICU and CCU. While they are both critical care areas, CCU deals with cardiac/cornary issues primarily. MI's, pre and post cath pts, pt's with rhythm changes, etc. ICU deals...

  25. Magnet Hosp?

    neurorn6 replied to daisymurphydog's topic in General Nursing

    This my opinion only, but I'd rather work with an LPN with a few years experience than some RN's who think they know everything but have little to no experience. I have had the great fortune to work...
