    Night Shift Differential

    Ted replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is an OLD thread! Cool! Where I work, evenings (3-11) get $1.25 an hour and nights (11-7) get $3.00 an hour. As a 12 hour night nurse, I can't complain. :)

    Ethical question...what would you do?

    Ted replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    NY Oncology Nurses

    Ted replied to Mandarella's topic in Oncology

    It's been a few years since I worked oncology in New York state. So the information I'm about to give could very well be old and out-dated. It's my understanding that at one point, ONS wanted nurses...

    Thinking of quiting after 2 years

    Ted replied to NannaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    My heart goes out to you. It seems very unfair what they're doing to you. Besides working full-time at one hospital, I work per diem for another. In both hospitals, the full-time people get priority...

    12-Step Coercion

    Ted replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    I hold this understanding too!! The 12 step program is NOT a religion. (But I can easy to understand why people may get confused on this account.) Religions involve dogmas, "scriptures", religious...

    what color are you as a nurse

    Ted replied to maelee's topic in General Nursing
