  2. Huge Sign On Bonuses - Is there a catch?

    rph3664 replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

  3. Huge Sign On Bonuses - Is there a catch?

    rph3664 replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    The voice of experience says: No. I had a really horrible experience as a pharmacist that didn't even involve a sign-on bonus that left me with PTSD. I had a second one two years later that had me...

  5. Do most students have healthcare experience before nursing school?

    rph3664 replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a pharmacist, the number of students who have no OTJ experience until they do rotations, or even until graduation, boggles my mind! How could someone embark on a journey this long and difficult...

    rph3664 replied to cherokeesummer's topic in Ob/Gyn

  9. Being an ADVOCATE for a less than helpful coworker

    rph3664 replied to missnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Let's just say this guy was the equivalent of getting the corner office right out of the box. I've known people like this before; as a rule, they are not well-liked by their co-workers and usually...

  10. the quality of certain nurses

    rph3664 replied to nrsGrad08's topic in General Nursing

    I had a preceptor like this when I did my pharmacy rotations, and I understand it's almost universal to do things like this with medical students. It's called pi mping (don't know if the whole word...

  12. Would you marry a female MD?

    rph3664 replied to cgun101's topic in Men in Nursing

  14. Bullying

    rph3664 replied to Toothbrushx2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The workplace bullies I have encountered will not hesitate to falsify records and blackball their employees. There really isn't anything you can do about it except leave. Not right, not fair, but...

    rph3664 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

  16. Did anyone read the People story about Christina Aguilera?

    rph3664 replied to rph3664's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've known a lot of women who experienced this. Like I, and a lot of other people, have said, the issue is not c-sections but UNNECESSARY c-sections. One of my co-workers has 2 kids. The first...

  17. Being an ADVOCATE for a less than helpful coworker

    rph3664 replied to missnurse1's topic in General Nursing

  20. No consideration for gay patients

    rph3664 replied to eric2123's topic in Male Nursing Students

  25. Increase in Hep B refusal?

    rph3664 replied to chaitea7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know, as I am a pharmacist, not a nurse. It is required for school attendance in our state, so I'm guessing they just want to have it given later
