    Looking for advice: I don't like my salary

    Someone above mentioned a pay grid, and that is what I have seen in most hospitals and large organizations. Where I currently work, RN’s get paid based on the number of years they’ve been a nurse....
  6. Hello! I passed my CCM exam recently and am hoping that will open up some doors to train for a company on site, and then work from home as a case manager. Ideally something with a little flexibility....

  8. Interviewed twice for newly created ER RN Case Manager and was called today and offered the job. Requires 3 twelve hour shifts weekly from 11A - 11P with every other weekend. This is a very, very busy...

  14. Our standard E-kit has an order for Roxanol 10-20 mg/ml SL/PO q1h PRN. It makes it much easier to control the pain/soa in a crisis without having to call the doctor. I always educate my families to...
  15. I can't imagine not having an Emergency Kit (aka Comfort Kit). I find it frustrating enough that we have to wait until the next day to have our E-kit delivered after an admission when often times,...
  16. Wow. So amazing. I would be astounded, and indeed, comforted by such a revelation. Truly wish I could have witnessed that, if only to increase my conviction and testimony as a Christian so that when I...

  22. Hello. I know it's not polite to talk about pay but I am thinking of going into a very expensive LPN Program that begins in October and I need to know if it will be remotely worth the expense. The PN...
