  1. $12 an hour?!

    TeenyBabyRN replied to HisTreasure's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Where on earth do they find RNs that will work for $12/hr??? That is

  2. Anyone else having trouble getting work?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to rasberryblonde's topic in Agency Nurses

    Nothing like sticking your head in the sand (so you can't see the nurses) This statement illustrates the reality of the situation. There really ARE nurses, but these nurses will not work for...

  3. Black nurses VS. White nurses

  4. For all of you night nurses

    TeenyBabyRN replied to BaystateRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto, but I still wouldn't change to

  5. Will Non-BSN nurses ever be fired?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! You'd have to grow some mighty long legs

  6. Question from a Respiratory Therapist

    TeenyBabyRN replied to petrosian's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I recently looked at the site. Certified Medical Assistants (CMAs)and Certified Surgical Technologists (CSTs) are no longer considered as eligible for admission. Respiratory Therapists, Paramedics...

  7. Who's #1 your patient or you?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to rscarlatti's topic in General Nursing

    NICUs do seem to enjoy a much lower turnover rate than most other specialties (but it depends a lot on the particular unit - some just do not know how to treat people) but, in my experience, adult...

  8. Worthless medical insurance

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I have not seen good medical insurance through an employer yet!!! :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire You would think that being healthcare professionals, we would have the best...

    TeenyBabyRN replied to rscarlatti's topic in General Nursing

  10. lpn looking to travel

    TeenyBabyRN replied to rheebaby's topic in Travel

    Just MHO, but I would stay far, far away from any agency that did not require any level of experience. Patient safety and your license are not a priority for them - dollars are. You have to watch...

  11. Night Shift Differential

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    7p-7a weekdays - $4.50 7p-7a weekends - $8.50 No way I would EVER rotate shifts (very unhealthy - its too hard to take care of others when you feel like crap all the time). I have turned down travel...

  12. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    On a side note, other health care professionals do not do this kind of thing. You don't see RTs intubating each other. They don't have "Lap Chole Day" in med

  13. All Bad Nurses - Please Stand Up

    TeenyBabyRN replied to bcelzo's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but this just doesn't hold up. Patients will request not to have a particular nurse again for the most asinine reasons, such as: The patient tried to treat a particular nurse like a slave and...

  14. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    TeenyBabyRN replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    i have read these posts in total shock and amazement. we did not sponge bathe each other at all we did not do it in our shorts we did not do it in a fort we did not eat green eggs and ham... and we...

  15. online RN to BSN

    TeenyBabyRN replied to katzrkool's topic in Nursing Career

    What kind of clinical (community? management?) and how is it arranged? Are you on your own or with a preceptor? I have never understood the concept of requiring clinical for people who are already...

  16. Hospitals Go Gourmet, Offer New Cuisine

    TeenyBabyRN replied to sierralafry's topic in General Nursing

    I predict a rise in the number of patients that throw themselves out of bed rather than be discharged (kicked out of the hotel). Probably will increase the atmosphere of nursing being the "wait...

  17. Anyone Took The Bsn Route?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to luckyladyore's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you could, what would be the point of the 4th year? If you are asking if you could hit the "pause" button at that point and have an associate's degree, the answer is no. They are two different...

  18. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

    TeenyBabyRN replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    How dare them not give you a Whopper!! :angryfire I hope you let them have it on that Press-Gainey survey....oh wait, that's right. McDonalds is much smarter than hospitals and does not kill trees...

  19. Don't Lose Your Clinical Skills?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to KristinWW's topic in Operating Room

    No pre-op on call? Wow! Our pre-op nurses would love that! We keep a pre-op RN and a PACU RN on-call, so the pre-op nurse would be the back-up for PACU, if

  20. Don't Lose Your Clinical Skills?

    TeenyBabyRN replied to KristinWW's topic in Operating Room

    I think it depends a lot on the facility in which you work (also the geographic region and how things are done there) In the facilities I have worked in, there are holding room nurses, there are OR...

  22. Agency nursing vs full time jobs; pros & cons

    TeenyBabyRN replied to marymary's topic in General Nursing

    Only downside of agency I have experienced is (at least on some units) you get the patients that no one on staff wants (like the 3-C patients: Crazy, Combative, and C-diff +) YUCK!! on the other...
