  3. Interview questions

    Nunya replied to 2021NEgrad's topic in General Nursing

    My last job was offered to me by HR not the nurse manager; they actually called the day I interviewed but I missed it. So when I got back to them on Monday they gave me all the particulars about pay,...

  4. Working nights with kids/baby

    Nunya replied to ERWnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I've interviewed for a job it's for a specific shift that was posted. And the person(s) who interviewed me always made sure to mention which shift it was. Yep, nights, got it. And they'll...

  5. Low Census and Job dissatisfaction

    Nunya replied to PeachTea7's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you have to be the one to give up your one patient and not have a patient for 4 hours instead of the night nurse not having one for 4 hours? They'll still have 8 hours with that patient. If...

  6. LPN program, moving out of state

    Nunya replied to Nursethingz's topic in General Nursing

  7. Per Diem pros/cons

    Nunya replied to kitten0509's topic in General Nursing

    Nunya replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

  10. New to travel Nursing

    Nunya replied to SN2432's topic in Travel

  11. Non-Traditional New Grad Seeking Job Advice

    Nunya replied to DancinGal's topic in General Nursing

  12. Advice on what to say during performance review

    Nunya replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's fine to say, after one year of nursing, that you're just working on improving your nursing skills at this time. If you want to be on a committee you can mention that. And then just...

    Nunya replied to alissainchains's topic in General Nursing

  14. Salary discussion at interview NJ

    Nunya replied to Nurseybl06's topic in General Nursing

  15. What’s the farthest you would be willing to commute?

    Nunya replied to MountaineerFan57's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot depends on if you'll be doing 12s or 8s. Plus the weather where you are and if it's on freeways how many accidents are there and how will that impact your drive? I've done an hour,...

  16. Four 12s in a row?!?! ??

    Nunya replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

  20. Continue Bedside or Take Occ? US RN in Europe

    Nunya replied to KNK2229's topic in General Nursing

    Pay is more for occ hx so your housing/utilities allowance will be more. You'll be on straight days basically with occ hx, you'll do rotating shifts on med-surg. You'll have 10 federal holidays off...

  21. Calling in the “On Call” person when someone calls out

    Nunya replied to Ginger27's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, no legal or ethical problems but if I knew someone had asked to be off and was refused and then called off you bet I'd be letting my boss know. That's

    Nunya replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

  25. Scheduling

    Nunya replied to cbullock's topic in General Nursing
