I think you should also see that it says net collections, not gross...if that makes sense....which might be the figure you've been given

At my last job I had zero admin hours

I got zero PTO and zero sick days this year and will only get 10 days PTO beginning January 1, 2020.

You are amazing!

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. There is no negotiation. As an example (not actually ...

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. My current credentials are RN, BSN, CCM, CHPN. I ...

I declined the position, which in hindsight, was stupid on my part. Those kind of positions don't come around very long. Totally messed up by letting that opportunity pass me by. UGH.

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 ER. Not quite sure what day to day would look lik...

Livtek, where do you work? Are they hiring?

Suggestions? Thoughts? I hope to do well at the interview although I'm not thrilled at the idea of part time and 4 six hour shifts weekly. Prefer two or three 12 hour shifts but am excited at this entry level opportunity into PACU and hope the interv...

I used "Study Guide for the Generalist Hospice and Palliative Nurse" - HPNA.org and "Core Curriculum for the Generalist Hospice and Palliative Nurse" HPNA.org I took the exam today and passed. It was a hard exam and I didn't pass by much, but it's ov...

I am a Mom and a wife. I had 4 kids at home when I went to an accelerated LPN program. The program was very intense and only 17 graduated, but I was proud to be one of them. I went straight into an accelerated LPN-RN program after LPN School and I DI...

I will be watching this thread also. Would love some ideas on where to look.

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 try 0.50 ml initially and to see how that effects t...

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, patients are discharged from the hospital with no med...

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 comfort patients who are fearful of death and are...

I work for Odyssey and have for a year. I get paid my overtime without a problem. I also have no issue getting my patients Phenergan or Zofran if it is needed. I do usually try Haldol first, then Phenergan, then Zofran. Sometimes I have patients on a...

Dear Rod, I am so sorry that you are going through another loss so suddenly after the passing of your father. I can't even imagine the grief you must be feeling. I certainly imagine your heart and mind flit back and forth between all the stages of gr...

I truly am sorry for the mis-information with regards to Nurse Corp Officers that were killed in the line of duty. It is a disservice to the soldiers the families that were not represented. I am sure there were many more medics than nurses KIA and al...

I can't tell you what it is like to be an Army Nurse Corp Officer but I am married to one. My husband Chris has been in the Army Nurse Corp and Commissioned as an Officer in 1999. Prior to that time he was enlisted in Armor as a Tanker, enlisting at...

Hello! My name is Delana. I am relocating to the Augusta, GA area this July. My husband is active duty Army and will be stationed at Fort Gordon. I am a RN and have been doing Hospice Nursing since October 2008 and that is my only nursing experience...

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 Program is through Colorado Technical and will co...

Hospice has nutty long hours too. I have done 24-30 hours straight before when doing a full day then on call with actively dying people plus admissions. This Wednesday I went into the office at 7 am for an IDG meeting before starting to see patients...

My last patient with Terminal Agitation and vocalizations responded very well to Haldol.

...but just make sure that dietary documents correctly, and I certainly wouldn't sign my name under their documentation. Additionally, I might add in my notes "patient is stable and enjoying their lightly toasted bread with scrambled eggs - hold the ...
