    MSO4foru replied to MSO4foru's topic in General Nursing

    Scary commute for work?

    MSO4foru replied to Kat12340's topic in General Nursing

    It all depends on perspective.. if it's a really good unit, it may be worth it. Crazy weather can be accounted for- esp if nearby hotel that dives discount for nurse staff. In the end, this is a very...

    How can I figure out if nursing is right for me?

    Question regarding overtime

    MSO4foru replied to Hopefulnurse1823's topic in General Nursing

    When I use to pick up overtime, I learned pretty quickly that a lot of it gets gobbled up in taxes if you are picking up entire shifts. However 8 hrs here, 4 hours there seemed to be well worth

    MSO4foru replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Often I think I have major Adultitis. I am the $ earner, I have lots of accumulated PTO that I know I should use but don't. We have 3 dogs including a not well dog who would need boarding if we went...

    Nursing Home Resident Taunted by CNAs

    MSO4foru replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    What about a vision for society that made it possible for those who need care to receive it in a timely and dignified way? A SNF should not be about most pts and least staff possible. What about a...
