  1. Leaving current contract because half the staff are disrespectful

    momoneypls replied to astralseed's topic in Travel

    I've come off a couple of travel assignments, and in both I found the staff pretty brutal. It's like bullying and hazing all rolled into one. I think that's why we earn the $ is because we have to...

  2. New Grad OB Position

    momoneypls replied to kaylchips's topic in First Year After Licensure

    By OB you mean L/D, right? By training in this field you are considered a professionally skilled nurse. No one else can just step in and deliver a baby in crisis and tend to the mother as well. I did...

  4. Considering quitting nursing

    momoneypls replied to LouR's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What you are feeling is very common for a new nurse, so please don't give up yet! Part of finding your niche in this profession is discovering what you don't like or want; that is what eventually...

  5. Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    momoneypls replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is this not a thread regarding healthcare workers who are upset that they have to take a vaccine that may prevent the spread of covid-- begun by yourself? This deviation from the topic at hand feels...

    momoneypls replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

  7. I'm Out... (Cue Mic Drop)

    momoneypls replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Travel nurse! That's what I did! I cannot stand my current area of CA and their anti vax bs. Come to sunny CA and get some $$$. Anywhere in Los Angeles county is good. If you miss the anti vax stuff...

  8. COVID-19: Stimulus Checks for Teachers?

    momoneypls replied to DallasRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As most people know, children are snot-laden vectors of nasty diseases. No one can superspread like a group of kids, NO ONE. Not to mention having to teach 30 of them at once, it is a daily health...

  9. Per policy, I am not allowed to give an opinion on whether to COVID vaccinate

    momoneypls replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "So, I'm not allowed to give any advice regarding whether you decide to vaccinate your child or not." "My close friend left her nice ER job to go to San Diego Rady to treat all of the covid...

  10. Valid Reasons To Not Get Vaccinated

    momoneypls replied to jive turkey's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you are treating patients and you are not vaccinated and they are not vaccinated, you might be unwittingly spreading Covid to them and everyone else you come into contact with. The vaccine does not...

  11. How to Stop the Mass Nursing Exodus?

    momoneypls replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am feeling this topic and feeling it hard. I work for a facility in California in an ER which doesn't go on diversion when we are a packed house. Night shift is 90 percent new grad and 10 percent...

  12. Patient Refusing Unvaccinated RN

    momoneypls replied to Delia37's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The wife certainly had reason to do what she did to protect herself and her loved one. It was likely upsetting to the nurse too but I'm hoping that he or she can understand the

  13. Feel Awful after 1st COVID Vaccination

    momoneypls replied to Glam03's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I worked in a vaccine clinic, a really big one run by Kaiser. A lot of our patients who had really severe symptoms actually had covid not long before; some didn't even know about it. A little later,...

  14. Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    momoneypls replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I would ask how you feel about contracting Covid and then giving it to those patients you're caring for. Many cancer patients are unable to generate a high enough titer of vaccine to offer...

  15. Advice on nursing in Jacksonville FL

    momoneypls replied to Vjohnson's topic in Emergency

    This looks like a golden opportunity to try travel nursing. You can use your NJ address to make additional $$ as a traveler, get a contract in Jacksonville or nearby, and have a chance to "sample"...

  16. Save yourself; get out of medicine.

    momoneypls replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    You sound really burnt-out. Any way you can take some time off and pursue a hobby, or just get away from healthcare for a bit? Maybe you just need a break to sharpen your

  17. Drug Seeking Patients

    momoneypls replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

    I found this frustrating also when working med-surg. The only thing that was ever effective with this type of patient was when the MD would lay her/his foot down and, with you in the room, tell the...

  18. Spouse of nurse

    momoneypls replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your issue completely, because I share the same one. I live in CA, and my spouse has not had a raise since 2000, (he's a newspaper sports editor-a dying breed). I also earn about double...

  19. What are most lucrative specialties for an NP?

    momoneypls replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Don't forget, these are really challenging patients to deal with. I think that might be where the money comes into

  20. Need opinions on difficult code

    momoneypls replied to EDRN522's topic in Emergency

    At my facility, the MD's find out from coroner what was the cause of death and hold an informal M/M meeting monthly to discuss. It helps us out and allows some kind of closure; I feel we learn a lot...

  21. What is the average weekly take home in CA? (2019)

    momoneypls replied to jjdd's topic in Travel

    hi jdd, I can try to give you some perspective: In OC, a regular nurse earns 55-70/hr depending on experience and BSN/MSN. Housing is expensive, a room for rent is $1K/month, a studio apt is 1750.00...

  22. Job Flip-Flopping: When Will I Find My Place?

    momoneypls replied to tinyRN72's topic in General Nursing

    TinyRN72, this is exactly what I'm going through, too. I stay for a couple of years, then I leave because I burn out. This is odd, too, because I've loved my work as an ER nurse, a med/surg nurse, a...

  23. Bullied as a kinda new nurse

    momoneypls replied to allyyy's topic in General Nursing

    Many years ago, I asked for a different preceptor and am glad I did, as we were an incredibly poor fit. It's possible that maybe you just don't jive together well. It seems from your description, or...

  24. Med error/feeling overwhelmed has me thinking of career change

    momoneypls replied to Fl0ridaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Everything you are describing is typical of new nurse growing pains. You will learn through experience how to deal with difficult situations and people, so try not to be so hard on yourself. You will...
