  1. What city do you work in and how much do you get paid hourly?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Mortaaaay's topic in General Nursing

    I did;

  2. Nurses' Week is Coming. Our Nation's Nursing Professionals Deserve Better.

    Guest 1152923 replied to IntelyCare's topic in General Nursing

    Wait...what? 'IntelyCare', a "healthcare scheduling and staffing platform" authoring an article on nurse burnout?? Am I missing something

  3. At my age is my BSN worth it?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If you have only 16 credit hours and you want to work in a non-clinical setting, I would say go for it. My opinion is that the BSN (I have one from a top rated University BTW) is a useless, fluff...

  4. 53 Yrs Old, No BSN and Feels Helpless

    Guest 1152923 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    My experience was gleaned from working multiple hospitals in multiple states, but granted, NYC/Philadelphia are two parts of the country I've not worked. That said, after the COVID mass exodus, it's...

  5. 53 Yrs Old, No BSN and Feels Helpless

    Guest 1152923 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    ^^^Not sure where this is (BSN for bedside)?? As permanent and travel staff, I've worked over much of the country (Midwest, East, South, Southwest, West Coast; no one asks, cares, or even knows that...

  6. Travel Nurses' woes

    Guest 1152923 posted a topic in Travel

    Warning, rant ahead! I was previously a travel nurse but came off the road for a few years. Recently however, I got itchy feet and decided to take a travel assignment in a neighboring state. I am...

  7. To The Nurse Recruiter: Nope

    Guest 1152923 replied to raindrop's topic in General Specialties

    Raindrop, kudos to you. It sounds as if you shut down this ignorant nurse recruiter and I'm betting she wasn't at all expecting this response. She had obviously figured that you'd sit quietly why...

  8. How to find a safe surgeon?

    Guest 1152923 replied to GypsyTig's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Career OR RN here. Over the years, I've worked with many mediocre surgeons, a few exceptional ones, and a few, mostly incompetent surgeons. From my perspective, I don't see a whole lot of oversight...

  9. Am I too old for bedside nursing?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Jenniferocious's topic in General Nursing

    There has been such an exodus in the wake of Covid from permanent staff, that most HR departments and hiring managers would now look seriously at any carbon based lifeform with an active, unencumbered...

  10. If you could meet any member from AllNurses in person, who would you meet?

    Guest 1152923 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

  11. I Want Decent Health Benefits! Is That Too Much to Ask?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Haha, I think I worked for the same hospital system! I was a long time employee and had a small outstanding balance because I was waiting for additional insurance reimbursement on a medical claim....

  12. I Want Decent Health Benefits! Is That Too Much to Ask?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    This has been a pet peeve of mine for a long time. While pay for nurses has gradually increased over the years, the medical/dental plans that many healthcare employers offer to employees, have been...

  13. A Sticky Wicket

    Guest 1152923 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Haha! What...personal responsibility for your actions? "Would you care to supersize

  14. Last chance RNJob

    Guest 1152923 replied to martymoose's topic in Nursing Career

    I've walked in your shoes and totally get it! Working full-time consumes so much of our life, time, and energy (physical and emotional) to the point that if you're miserable at work, you're also...

  15. When You Realize You Are Replaceable

    Guest 1152923 replied to Guest1189140's topic in Nursing Career

    The vaccine debate aside, I knew from day one of my first job many years ago, that I, and everyone else, is replaceable from an employer's perspective. I feel that to think otherwise is somewhat...

  16. If you could meet any member from AllNurses in person, who would you meet?

    Guest 1152923 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Haha of course Emergent! Very much looking forward to

  18. Are You Working Past Retirement Age?

    Guest 1152923 replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    H.E...'double hockey sticks' NO! The nano second that I am financially able to retire, I plan to do so. I'm a career RN with 30 years already invested and there is no conceivable way that I am going...

  19. Level III trauma

    Guest 1152923 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I am an RN and have extensive surgical experience in Level I trauma facilities. For the last several years though, I have worked in the OR of a Level III hospital and have been glad not to have the...

  20. Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, that's not true. When I travelled, I received travel reimbursements, contributed to a 401K, had a few vacation days, and was offered medical/dental. Honestly, I just don't really see any...

  21. Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    When I board an airplane, I don't question the pilots' or flight crew's motivation. They could be doing it for the money or the love of flying, it matters little to me. My only hope is they are all...

  22. Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

    Guest 1152923 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Somehow, these reports especially, alway seem to mysteriously disappear. This is even more true when the doctor is an absolute tyrant, mean SOB but a high revenue generator for the...

  23. Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    Guest 1152923 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    For the money all day, every day and I have absolutely no shame about it. Does this make me an incompetent or uncaring nurse, you be the judge. I do enjoy using my clinical skills and knowledge to...

  24. Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

    Guest 1152923 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I've said this for a very long time also. With the advent of corporate health care, hospitals are now patterned on the business model and the business model always serves the dollar first. This is...

  25. Is there anything you wished your work bag had?

    Guest 1152923 replied to michelle2021's topic in General Nursing

    Borrowing from Star Trek, a hand held phaser with adjustable pulsed energy capable of stunning a human or complete vaporization could have come in real handy over the years. Kidding, not
