   777RNThatsMe replied to Sheri257's topic in California

   Ding ding ding ding! BIngo!!! LOL Sigh....I left Calif over 10 years ago swore I'd never go back - to expensive to live; too many crowds of rude people I thought. Guess what. Just as many in the rest of the world! HA (as far as uncaring).... I miss...

   5 and 6 12's is insane people! I do 3 12s and let me tell you I get tired enough that, I have nothing left in energy for my kids let alone any more! and sometimes my 3 12s are in a row; or, if they fall on a weekend it's 4 in a row - and it kills my ...

5. question about salary in the US

   777RNThatsMe replied to norhubez's topic in General Nursing

   That isn't very much to live off of, in Calif - no. Not on a single income family. Doubtful you'd get by well.....rent is very expensive there as is trying to buy homes.

10. Critical Thinking Skills as a nurse?

    777RNThatsMe replied to rll28's topic in General Nursing

    First, you don't have to be an A student to be a good nurse like the other poster noted. Second...critical thinking in my opinion means you study your basic information...your basic facts...and then as you think it through you begin, based on your ba...

11. Lacy, WA

    777RNThatsMe replied to linda8532's topic in Washington

    I am SHOCKED the wages are that low. Central WA where it's cheaper to live pays just as much. And, Spokane, on the east side, just as cheap almost to live as Central WA pays just slightly less. Seems to me they should pay better than that on the w...

    Spokane is a hick town compared to anywhere in calif. Don't expect a lot of culture. Everybody smokes...almost. Forget the new law that states they can't smoke within 25 feet or 50 feet of a public builidng...it holds no water. They still keep ashtra...

15. Urgent, Easy Question

    777RNThatsMe replied to Mesomorph's topic in Student Assist

    And no..you never hand off charting to another nurse for what happened during YOUR shift as they were not there. You never want to do someone elses charting as a nurse unless you did it yourself and thereby its' your own charting.
