  2. Nurse Practitioner Entrepreneurship

    Jules A replied to IH0718718's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Lol correct just panic buttons and a file cabinet with blank EP paperwork all ready for the 911 call. Seriously though the Social Worker/LCPC component is a considerable expense although more...

  3. Nurse Practitioner Entrepreneurship

    Jules A replied to IH0718718's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ignore the naysayers especially if they aren't even NPs. There is a definite market for those who are interested in opening their own practice. Without a business background it is worthwhile to hire...

  4. Sincerity amongst collegeaues

    Jules A replied to orangepink's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    We have a very different take on this particular topic. I am more than happy to tell any of my peers how much I make because if we don't discuss wages that is one way employers keep us in the dark...

  5. New Psychiatric Support Technician..HELP!

    Jules A replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Psychiatric

    Seriously?

  6. getting hired in a hospital with an associates degree?

    Jules A replied to chrisRN180's topic in General Nursing

    But other than the obvious outliers like CA and NYC is it really much cheaper? I have friends who moved from NJ to FL and while they love the climate from what I hear their expenses aren't much...

  7. Preventing call-ins

    Jules A replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and it seems most agree with you. I don't think anyone needs minute details but a simple I'm not feeling well enough to work today or my child is ill would be courteous and sufficient, imo. I'm...

  8. Preventing call-ins

    Jules A replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was very surprised by your attitude and even more surprised to see all the likes you received. I guess I'm in the minority. Simply coming from a peer's perspective if someone calls out all the time...

  9. I quit the PA rat race.

    Jules A replied to Non Sequitir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I seriously wonder if there are any left as even the big names in my area are encouraging their undergraduate audience to remain in school straight through and discouraging RN experience in an effort...

  10. Preventing call-ins

    Jules A replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Something I just posted in another thread made me think and although not something NMs have control over or that could be changed easily but I wonder if more places offered PTO instead of sick time if...

  11. What was the REAL reason you called off

    Jules A replied to Orion81RN's topic in General Nursing

    This! In 10 years I've called in twice for legit illness as above, once for a car accident on the way to work the car was totaled and twice when I was so disgusted with things that I was on my way...

  12. Please help!

    Jules A replied to Alynnhutch's topic in General Nursing

    Hi and welcome, The math is fairly basic and most schools offer courses to get you ready to take the credit classes required. I would consider getting your CNA license first so you can obtain some...

  13. getting hired in a hospital with an associates degree?

    Jules A replied to chrisRN180's topic in General Nursing

    Driving and attempting to park in the District is still

  14. Preventing call-ins

    Jules A replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I hear you and am someone who values work ethic above most all else and rarely get so sick that I cant work knock wood. I am thankful for this and do get frustrated by those who call in because they...

  15. The Enemy... The Nurse Manager

    Jules A replied to I.Am.A.Nurse.'s topic in Nurse Management

    Did the OP not respond or even acknowledge the time members spent on the large variety of comprehensive replies to their

  16. Preventing call-ins

    Jules A replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Approach it head on, explain that you know its going to be a culture shock but you will start enforcing the policy starting xyz date. Minimal incentives might also help with positive reinforcement....

  17. getting hired in a hospital with an associates degree?

    Jules A replied to chrisRN180's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if the no experience part is as much of a hinderance as the ADN? Maybe get whatever job you can to gain some valuable experience before you go moving across the country

  18. Preventing call-ins

    Jules A replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely enforce the call out rules but also consider examining morale. In my experience when people won't pick up OT or are calling out in large numbers its often the result of poor working...

  19. Medscape career satisfaction survey

    Jules A posted a topic in Advanced Practice

    Interesting and as expected for most questions especially the area of not making any changes when dissatisfied and as I have seen as a result being miserable and subsequently making the rest of us...

  20. Which Nurses Are Unhappy & Why (all levels)

    Jules A replied to Icooka4u's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100% but think its a cowardly way to approach life and in the end seems to justify someone being miserable and likely making the rest of us miserable

  21. Which Nurses Are Unhappy & Why (all levels)

    Jules A replied to Icooka4u's topic in General Nursing

    Lol I started a thread with a similar comment in the advanced practice

  22. Crisis Pay

    Jules A replied to gemmi999's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I used to wait it out because if people take it for free they won't need to offer a premium. I've said to my NM "you have already killed me this week with acuity, I'd need the $20 an hour bonus to...

  23. Crisis Pay

    Jules A replied to gemmi999's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So exactly how much are they offering? Weird to ask us how much we make without sharing how much you are getting. When I worked as a LPN and RN it was $20 an hour extra. Loved

  24. The Enemy... The Nurse Manager

    Jules A replied to I.Am.A.Nurse.'s topic in Nurse Management

    You sound like you are contentious which is a big plus. This is rudimentary but what I can offer as my experience with many NMs is the ones I respected the most and had the most staff support in...

  25. I quit the PA rat race.

    Jules A replied to Non Sequitir's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately we have only ourselves and perhaps the greedy schools to blame for this
