    NephroBSN replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    HIP HIP HOORAY.. I admit I am against unions for nurses. And I was told I do a disservice to my fellow nurses with that opinion. What does a dissservice to my fellow nurses is keeping my mouth shut....

  8. 1st travel assignment

    NephroBSN replied to nurse with cats's topic in Travel

    You'll need to buy food so I'd budget for that. Some of the linens i.e. towels, sheets and pillow cases can be pretty awful so I'd either bring them or buy new. Are you flying or driving. That makes...

    NephroBSN replied to nurse with cats's topic in Travel

    They have a habit of calling hospitals at 0300 and asking for the travel nurse.Then they try to recruit her. It should be the other way around. And if I ever get a hold of one of those recruiters...

  10. Nursing Instructors who are hard, pick on you, or are impossible to deal with

    NephroBSN replied to Town & Country's topic in General Students

    I know one nurse who told a doctor who was having a temper tantrum "If you don't behave I'm gonna call your MOM" I've told doctor's right out of the gate. Don't yell at me, tell me in real terms what...

    NephroBSN replied to Misty1's topic in Travel

    Yeah interesting that they only "let" Americans sell their computers but they use foreign workers to service them. And they have no idea what is wrong. They just keep reading from a canned scprit. And...

  14. RNs win strong patient care protection...

    NephroBSN replied to mark hamel's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Most, if not all travel nurses, have a 36 hour a week work guarantee in their contract. So you'll be paying us to stay home.. And we won that without paying union dues again. Also, how is not using...

  15. No Response from hospitals I summitted to...NEED ADVICE

    NephroBSN replied to Beneficence's topic in Travel

    I hate to say this but I've found this problem repeatedly. Even as a staff member. Waited almost a month in 2001 for a call about a PACU job at a prestigious medical center. Finally got the interview,...

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

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

    Some of us BSN's paid our "dues' as LPN's too. Also, just having put in those four years looks good to a patient. Why not have every RN be a BSN and then patients wouldn't have to choose. I dont'...

  20. Med-surg for all?

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

    Maybe we could spread that ton of nurses around. I've been in nursing for 26 years. I've seen many come back to M/S. How will nurses refusing to work M/S help. Where will those patients go. To ICU,...

  21. Med-surg for all?

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

    ]Because once in a while you might catch a good nurse who wants to stay. Also, some of the one's who want M/S and start there can't hack it. It works both ways. Some even leave for ICU ACU PACU or...

  22. Med-surg for all?

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

    I'm sorry if I gave the impression that M/S is easy or basic. As a former 15 year M/S LPN/RN I know it's neither. One of the reason's I tout M/S as a stepping stone is because it is such a good...

    NephroBSN replied to beannie's topic in Travel

    I have a Toyota Highlander and it's packed when I take off. You could try to get corporate housing and just take your jammies and toothbrush. But remember that is more money out of the contract and...

    NephroBSN replied to traumaRUs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hope you have a great day shadowing. I've known clinics where I've never seen the MD for the whole month.. Somehow they get "away" with it. Not advocating that at all. I just like the nursing touch...
