    LokelaniRN replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am vaccinated. But now I am questioning the decision making of our scientist overlords, the same people who funded gain of function tests. It makes no sense to fire people in the middle of a...

    Nurses aides make very little. Nursing home jobs are not much of an attraction. Therefore, you keep the staff you have. They can work as a driver for Amazon for more money than as an aide.Some...

    LokelaniRN replied to KellyM RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am retired, but used to work per diem. You should be grateful that there are per diem nurses who can work a shift or two per month. It is better than nothing. Per diem does not get any benefits or...

  15. How do you guys do it for so long?

    LokelaniRN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    People are going to say go per diem, do reduced hours, change your shift, etc. What I am saying as a young person in your twenties, you do not need to put up with the BS of nursing. Do not waste your...

    LokelaniRN replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Two years is enough time to know if you like nursing or not. I am retired, but never liked it. It consumed my thoughts on my days off. You are young, seriously consider doing something else. It is...

    LokelaniRN replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Can someone please explain why a job would show on a credit check? That does not make any sense to me. Also, due to HIPAA, the previous employer cannot release details of the injury, as she was...

    I have always said, the people you work with are not your friends. It sounds harsh, but it is the truth. If you have no relationship outside of work with your co workers, chances are you will never...
