  1. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    NephroBSN replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was s/p DVT with a 16 year old son when I finished my BSN.. I also got my minor in Poly Sci. Just so I could be a fulltime student and get student loans. When I was talking pre reqs. I worked 4 ten...

  2. Med-surg for all?

    NephroBSN replied to bjb_wyo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    But you do admit you don't want more than 2 patients at a

  3. Med-surg for all?

    NephroBSN replied to bjb_wyo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think we experienced nurses will just have to agree to disagree on the advice we give to new grads regarding "a year or two of med/surg first". You obviously believe it to be necessary and...

  4. Drexel' s ACE program

    NephroBSN replied to Ann262's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Your link seems to be dead. Can you give us another

  5. Med-surg for all?

    NephroBSN replied to bjb_wyo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know M/S is not for every one. I suppose learning about Aricept isn't important either. Or pitocin. For that matter. M/S is the foundation for nursing. Students don't go into nursing to only study...

  6. Hi travelers, have lots of questions :O)

    NephroBSN replied to velardern's topic in Travel

    Please be careful what the agencies want to pay you. If you are "local" travel and they want to pay you living allowances they are not paying the taxes on that income and you will have to. Better to...

    NephroBSN replied to nurse with cats's topic in Travel

    BC/BS out of OK.. These small companies do the best for their employees. And I've found just the opposite more companies are providing insurance because nurses like me won't work for them . NO...

  8. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    NephroBSN replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow you may have just given many nurses a way out of unions. LOL There are many times people benefit from something without paying. I don't pay here. I get all I need here from not paying. I don't...

  9. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    NephroBSN replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sherwood, Why are the union paying dues workers so afraid of non union paying workers? Could it be we are right. Now I see that every time a contract is re-negotiated the union gets a raise too. So...

  10. New to Travel Nursing

    NephroBSN replied to rnnaomibsn's topic in Travel

    Let's see. SC has a hospital association. You'll be looking at less than $30 most probably. I don't know what you mean by fully stocked. If you mean linens, furniture, dishes etc. That's probably...

  11. ADN vs. BSN for Entry Level Nursing

    NephroBSN replied to pattycakebaby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't think many BSN's think ADN's are "bringing down (OUR) profession". I think we are trying to bring up the profession. To have nurses who can stand toe to toe with other professionally prepared...

  12. Maine winters--how much snow?

    NephroBSN replied to snowchaser1's topic in General Nursing

    IN TN they have no income tax. Maine has a snack tax and taxes toilet paper but not magazines. I don't think many go to NH from Downeast. Sort of a futile trip what with the price of gas. A new home...

  13. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    NephroBSN replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh yes I agree on the wording choices for the vote. Should be: #1 Yes, accept the contract #2 No, don't accept the contract and strike # 3 No don't accept the contract. My idea was for NO ONE to...

  14. Scripps Encinitas is an OPEN SHOP, CNA loses "union security clause"

    NephroBSN replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sherwood, While I"m sure this would never happen. The Piped Piper always has a following. But,,,,,,,, what if NO ONE came out to vote. Absolutely NOT ONE PERSON.. Because it seems like alot of the...

  15. Anyone know Liquid Agents?

    NephroBSN replied to lifezfunny's topic in Travel

    Repeat slowly after me. "They got my name from MY STATE BOARD OF NURSING" Every time I get a CC offer with Miss _ ______ RN I know it came from a list from the Maine BON. The BON's make money selling...

  16. strike in MA

    NephroBSN replied to RockieSis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So are you even money, ahead of the game, or behind the eight ball now? NO UNION IS A GOOD

  17. Cali Local Assignment Questions

    NephroBSN replied to RN Mc Neese's topic in Travel

  18. Aureus Medical

    NephroBSN replied to nurse with cats's topic in Travel

    You can Cobra your insurance. They have to send you the paper work to do that. The cost depends on your age and they can add a 2% fee onto that. I checked on mine. I'm "old".. BC/BS $407 a

  19. How often do you take a break?

    NephroBSN replied to Alex3's topic in General Nursing

    Well there ya go.. Nurses working together all on their own helping each other. As another poster said the union makes all units do "it" the same way. She was working every third weekend but because...

  20. Need Quick Help

    NephroBSN replied to RN Mc Neese's topic in Travel

    Why not supplement you earnings by taking a local per diem spot. Work one day extra a week. There IS NO 50 mile rule in the IRS rules. That's a rule the hospitals arrived at so all their staff...

  21. How often do you take a break?

    NephroBSN replied to Alex3's topic in General Nursing

    But see they know they do have to give it to us.. Dialysis nurses don't fall off trees.. And heck I don't even work for the company. I'm a traveler. But when I did work for a company in Maine and we...

  22. How often do you take a break?

    NephroBSN replied to Alex3's topic in General Nursing

    The other nurses and tech. I'm a shout away even. And when they go to breakfast and lunch and suppa, guess what I watch their patients. It's an idea, as nurses and techs, working together, we thought...

  23. How often do you take a break?

    NephroBSN replied to Alex3's topic in General Nursing

    As a chronic hemodialysis nurse when I work 12 hour shifts I take three half hour breaks. Breakfast, lunch and suppa as we Mainahs call it.. The company docks me for a half hour. I've always taken my...

  24. Maine winters--how much snow?

    NephroBSN replied to snowchaser1's topic in General Nursing

    As a Mainah I am proud of the state also.. I'm proud that as a Mainah I can be honest about the situation to an outsider too. That's a true Mainah. Someone who tells it like it is. I'm proud of that...
