    Hi everybody: I don't know about the rest of you but I'm having a hard time envisioning rebuilding my life after this monitoring program. It has set me back financially, educationally, emotionally...

    Doctors vs NP's?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    That's true!!! I worked a long, long time in an ER and the fastest way to "no pills for you" was self-diagnosis, an attitude of entitlement and a belligerent attitude. Patients like that typically...

    YAY YAY YAY!!!! I couldn't agree more!!! When you come to work you need to remember you are not in your living room with your family. Don't tell me about granny, your kids, your significant other...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    I think when it comes to nursing pay there are definitely some macro-economic issues. For example; locality, type nursing, experience, education etc. that the individual nurse can't do much to...

    Only certain departments in hospital got a pay increase?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, they have shown how much they value your contribution in dollars and cents. Quit or move to a "more lucrative" unit if you don't accept this treatment. If you do stay but please don't be one of...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    The primary reason I go to work is to get paid. That doesn't stop me from being a good nurse. I do the best I can by my patients but its a job. If I can get paid more to practice my profession in a...

    Doctors vs NP's?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    When I first became an RN I worked one shift PRN in a long term care place. The place was a dump but I was greedy and wanted some cash. Anyway, I was supposed to work an 8 hour shift and got stuck...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    I agree nurses should make more money. However, this article is about English Nurses I believe. The rules of capitalism doesn't apply to them because they work in an inelastic market place....

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    It's economics & capitalism. Labor is a commodity that hospital & other care providers purchase. They seek to spend as little as possible on this commodity / expense. It's like a physics...
