Please help. I need advice on how to deal with someone that loves to micromanage, nitpick every single action that takes place. I don't think this person is truly happy with themself and tries to shine by making others look bad in front of other c...

Thanks for your reply.

I have been a nurse 14 yrs. and I still feel overwhelmed at times, and it does get better. Maybe you should work only 8 hr shifts instead of 12. Maybe you need less pts. for awhile.

coworkers can make a job seem impossible to tolerate day after day. Just this week I had another confrontation with a co-worker. I came home crying. I get sick of all the gossip in the unit. I have tried to stay out of it, but you just seemed to ...

I forgot to mention Correctional Nursing doesn't pay that good here. It has been since 1995 since I did it, but I was making 27,500/ year , maybe that will help.

I live in Upstate SC. I am not sure what RNs in your area with experience would make, but I know nurses with 15 years experience in nephrology nursing that make close to $ 30.00 an hour in the hospitals around here. I hope this helps. Good luck on y...

That is Great!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Luck on your new job.

Hi, I have been thinking about traveling and I want to pick the right Co. Does anyone know any thing about Quik Travel Staffing? If not, does anybody know any good staffing agency in the Anderson / Greenville area. I have been with Medical St...

Thanks for the tips. I have been reading about travel assignments and how some nurses didn't get the whole truth, so this helps me know what to look for. I have not did much traveling out of my area, but I have done agency nursing and know how the ...

Has anybody worked with Quik Travel Staffing? If so, let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.

I have the Core Curriculum for Nephrology Nursing textbook, but I thought about buying another book . I seen the distribution of questions on the NNCC website. The book I am using has a chapter on TPE, history of nephrology nursing and a chapter on ...

to talk to someone. I quit one of my jobs this week. We have alot of issues at work and I just could not take all the drama any more. I had been there for about 2 years. I am sad because I am going to miss the patients. I have cried about it, but I k...

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my note. My brother told me the same thing, that I would find another group of pts. that needed me. I know that is true, and God will take care of my other pts. It is just hard to deal with right now. Thanks ...

In 1994 I started out at 13.25 as an RN in dialysis in SC without experience. In 1996 I started at another clinic at 16.00/hr. I work through an agency now making 30.00/hour. I think the nurses that work there make about 22.00/hr. I hope this help...

I work for an agency and have for over 2 years and I work at a hospital PRN. I took the job at the hospital to fill up time when the agency didn't have alot of work. I like having these jobs instead of one full time job, because I get to pick when...

I have done dialysis off and on since 1994. There are not as many codes as there use to be, but when a code takes place you need to be able to take charge of it. Also, dialysis is more stressful than med-surg.

I have a friend that works in a nursing home and ask me if I have ever read anything about ten minute safety walks. She said, one of their supervisors went to a meeting and come back with this great idea for them to do 10 minute safety checks on q ...

Thanks for your reply. They didn't hire any more staff and yes once you get done it is almost time for someone elese to walk. Have you ever heard of this before?

I use to take call and we had an hour to get to the hospital. I lived 30 minutes away and that was pushing it get ready and get there. 45 minutes is really pushing it.

Maybe you can go online and look for the State Board Nursing site and see if there is a limitation on the number of years. Maybe it is so old that is does not matter. i would really try to find out before i went all the way through school. I know ...

Nursing is hard work, but I thank God that I am a nurse. I am blessed with a good income even now when the economy is so bad and it is very rewarding to know that I can do something to help another person. We all have days when we wish we did somet...

If you have taken a review course and / or studied some review guides you should be fine. The best thing to do the morning before is pray and leave it in Gods hands. When I went to nursing school, I thought I would never get out and when i went to ...

We use 2 bags of NS.

People usually know right away if they like dialysis or not. so, when you hear people say, "You will either love it or hate it." I have heard that for years and it is usually true. I have been in dialysis off and on since 1994. I am one that loves...
