    avoiding sexism drama and gossip

    PMFB-RN replied to girtebt's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow! You left a paying hospital RN job for 5 months of unemployment then a job at a LTC? I think YOU might be oversensitive. I can understand looking for another job due to the unit culture, but to...

    All Men Shift

    PMFB-RN replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't disagree. However I do find it very interesting that even in nursing men are paid more on average than women. Significantly more. There was an article in AJN a while back that pointing this...

    All Men Shift

    Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    PMFB-RN replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ya you are right. However there are some checks and balances. In most cases the little guy gets screwed. However with such a blatantly unethical strategy the hospital is really hanging it's butt on...

    Providing Emergency Care to non-patient

    PMFB-RN replied to augustwest's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing. Doctors and nurses standing by and doing nothing while a person died in their waiting room would be a media firestorm! Also depends on your state. In my state...

    Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    PMFB-RN replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow, you work for a terrible facility! We very seldom read of something so obviously unethical talked about so openly. BTW there is no precedent for teaching staff who do not hold doctorates to be...

    All Men Shift

    PMFB-RN replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    In one hospital where I work nurses work every other weekend. On one weekend it is an all male crew on nights regularly. I would agree that it is a very different experience than when it is all...

    Should I quit my job, sell my house and sail to Hawaii?

    PMFB-RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am shocked at the number of people who said yes! I suspect those people don't have your best interest in mind. The correct answer is NO! You should sail right past Hawaii and sail to one of the...

    Nurses Masquerading As Doctors (INSULTING)

    PMFB-RN replied to djaychris's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Does this statement indicate that you do not believe holders of other doctorate degree are entitled to be called doctor? A PhD is but one of a numbers of doctorates. Really hard to determine if this...

    Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    PMFB-RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I find this to be an extraordinary reply to my message. Had you not quoted me I would have to assume that you didn't read a word I said. While your comment seems 180 degrees off topic, I will...

    Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    PMFB-RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I know welfare for individual is the low hanging fruit that we can all see. But in reality it is only the tiniest drop in the bucket of subsidies. Much more is given to often rich corporations, like...

    St. Joseph - Marshfield Critical Care Internship

    PMFB-RN replied to mnscotti's topic in General Nursing

    Apply for SICU. Second choice would be MICU. Really emphasize your ties to the community. Make it sound as if you would never dream of leaving St. Joe's or Marshfield. Tell them your parents and...

    Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    PMFB-RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. Nurses do not make big money. I know of some nurses making $300K but who would consider that big money? For that matter doctors don't make big money either. The highest paid surgeon in my health...

    Fired for being an LVN!

    PMFB-RN replied to CaliBoy760's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Dude you are a veteran!? As adverse as the VA is to bad publicity I would think a few letters to the editor about the VA is firing VETERANS without cause would cause a panic among VA

    Nicotine Test, No smoking policy

    PMFB-RN replied to AspergersRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you read the OP. The hospital mentioned in the OP isn't refusing to hire smokers, but rather all nicotine users. Two very different things. Several nicoteen routs of administration...

    Nicotine Test, No smoking policy

    PMFB-RN replied to AspergersRN's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital is saying one thing and doing something else. The claim is that they are excluding smokers, when in realiety they are excluding all nicotine users. Plenty of people who have never...
