I've always carried my own policy. That garbage about the 'facility providing coverage'..........:roll You know how long they will stay behind you if something happens???????? About 2.3 seconds. CARRY YOUR OWN INSURANCE.........

I'm having this etched on my glass front door!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT:roll Ohhhh, my stomach hurts!!!!!!11:roll :roll

Rhona1.......girl.......pull yourself together:kiss there, that's for you! Sounds to me that those people certainly DID NOT deserve a great nurse such as you!! Nobody wants to be 'fired', but 'sad to say', it is part of working life. I say you are i...

These are just tttttooooooo funny:roll I can't believe the one about the butcher....that is tacky:imbar My bumper sticker says: ....Be nice to your kids....They'll choose your nursing home... I just LOVE LTC:kiss

Check out this site: istudysmart.com They are offering a option of getting 20 courses for $399 or $499. I'm going to start through them for my preq. then transfer to SIUE (Southern Illinois U @ Edwardsville) Good luck to you.......hey! age doesn...

Hi Brandy......keep your hair the way YOU want. Mine is rather long....past my bra in the back. I have about 50-60 different scrunchies, banana clips, etc....plus about 100 different ribbons. I also 'spruce it up' with the different holidays, wearing...

This is such a 2 sided thing. On one hand I know it would help provide the 'added' security for the patient, as well as the caregiver (being falsely accused), but on the other hand, you would feel like 'big brother' was everywhere. I would not objec...

Mito......where in sam hill do you live and plan to 'nurse'??????? I want to make sure I'm NOT there.......geez you give 'potiental' nurses a bad name and 'new bsn's ' a worse name:eek: No offense, but I hope you DON'T pass boards......we don't need...

I guess when your as big as Wal-Mart, you can look like 'whatever'! Haven't seen that here......hope I don't...:chuckle

I'm a charge nurse.......LTC. I am responsible for the CNA's who work under me, not other nurses. I guess it is different with hospitals? I would'nt want to carry my lic. and insurance for other nurses all the time. There is a ton of stress as it is....

SuzyK.......it 'seems' that you disagree with just about everything. I noted that you seem to enjoy repeating things others say just to make yourself seem more.......intelligent?????? You are eager to acuse others of having an attitude, but fail to n...

I did home health a few years ago......boy, if I got paid what your getting, I'de still be there! Some days I had up to 13 pts to see, got paid $6 per visit and 26cents a mile. No overtime. My days usually lasted 10-12 hours and then had tons of pape...

Janhertherington.....What part of Missouri are you in??? Nursing union......."very new to Missouri"?????? I'm afraid not. There are several hundred thousand union members in Missouri. Hang tight and stand your ground!! You have the right to organize...

A year ago, several co-workers and I began a journey that I won't soon forget. We began a campaign for union representation because our Administrative staff didn't listen to our needs (the ones who were covering shifts short and making excuses to the...

(that's a yawn)........ Hi all, so far, I'm doing great on nights.....new facility with only 4 pts......but I know it will change. My schedule includes days and evenings, so my sleep schedule is crazy, but I do the following: 1. put cardboard...

:kiss I hope that makes all of you feel better.......really!! When your the 'caregiver'.....it really sucks when you need special attention. Anyway, not as bad here, but I was just wondering. One of you stated that you thought this could be terrorist...

OMG.......... Some of you 'have it made'...... .......some have 8 CNA's for 60 pts....... .......some have 6 CNA's for 48 pts...... WOWIEEEEE!! Where I 'used' to work...in a skilled MC facility, we would have, at most, 4 CNA's for 60 on days....

Mario.......you look kinda young??????:roll I agree w/ all the others......your a NURSE!!!!!! Good luck!! I work w/a 'male' nurse.....in fact, we are best-friends. My husband even refers to him as 'my other husband' and his wife calls me 'the other ...

Wow Russ........great for you!!! Congrats No, I'm not sorry I asked. We learn by asking, right??? I'm in the process of 'adding a few extra initials' behind my name too. Trying to finish my RN, but honestly.......it's more 'crap' than I care to deal ...

I'm a charge nurse, have held this position (at other facilities) for over 6 years.....I love it. Anyway, this new job is at a facility that just opened......we have 3 residents!!!!! Yep, you heard me.....3. I love it. We will slowly add more, but co...

Russ Dowling.......please share with us all your titles.......certifications........after your name. Thanks!! Greyt How did you obtain them???

:zzzzz Sleepyeyes......you really don't need any 'specialized' training. You must, however, know the state regs for LTC. Most of the DON's I know started out as ADON's and some were even hired without any prior knowledge at all........learn as you go...

Nursipooh....I agree with you 100000000% in regards to your comments to JMP......What's up with JMP??:roll Educated.......Taught........Some of the 'educated' RN's I've worked with the past 23 years......most of them should have been 'taught' beca...

Go to SEIU.com / Service Employees Internation Union, they service alot of nurses. I don't want to scare you, but at my last job, I was on the 'organizing committee' in attempting to for a union where I work......I was harrassed and then fired. Sever...

I too, think that 'nurses are nurses'......Sorry to all you "RN's" here, Greytnurse here is "just a LPN/IVC", but I don't think my nursing skills are any less than ANY Rn I've ever worked with. In fact, 90% of the Rn's I've worked with were rather 's...
