Easy to make 100k/yr in NY but cost of living is high. Base 80k, night diff 6k, experience 1.2k/yr, BSN 1.5k, certification 1.5k, per diem 54$/hr-56$/hr, 3% raise March 1st. Other hospitals maybe a little hig/low

Nurses sit down and gossip and toy with their phone? Where is this hospital pl? I would like to work there. And you being refered to as a nurses aid is because u were hired as a CNA regardless of your degree or diploma. And if you were hired as a par...

OMG! If that happened to me, I will bring it up in our daily huddle and my nurse manager will certainly address it with "Dr"

As a nurse, the first thing I'm thankful for is my family being healthy. I'm also thankful for having a job and meeting my financial needs/wants.

Change location. Critical nurses are hot cake in NY, 55 to 60$ an hr. My employer pay 58.97$ for per diem critical care nurse.

OMG! Poor thing, I really don't know what to say but wish u all the best. I'm sure my fellow season nurses have tons of advise for u. Good luck!

Thank you guys for responding. After much negotiations, they've come up with 3-4 weeks orientation. We are still not happy about that.

Hello critical care nurses, so my employer is always short of nurses in ICU. They made the desicion to float us, med/surge nurses, to ICU when needed with 1 week orientation. They said they will assign us the lighter patients which nobody is buying. ...

If I m not working the next day, I cook. Otherwise, the family just ea what is available

The base for NP at my job is $104 and change plus 1k for every yr of experience.

Med/surge for 1-2 yrs.

Lol! That is what happens, anytime they float ICU nurse to our unit, they go crazy upon all their high skills. One punched out at 1020am instead of 730 when she floated to our unit.

CRNA base is 149,981$ from my job, I don't know about MDA

When my husband graduated as an accountant at the age of 25, it took him 5 yrs to find a job. So when I decided to back to schoo, I researched for the profession where the demand was very high. Nursing was that profession so started as a CNA and beca...

Let me know when you find that job pl.

I shower before and after. I have a colleague who showers on the job right after she clocks out before she goes home.

As per our union contract, we work every other weekend. We take turns getting off on the weekends that we are over staff. Night shift has total of 26 RNs, 8 RNs per shift so if 50% work on weekend there will be 12.5 RNs per weekend shift. Because of ...

I left an excellent job 14 yrs because of a nurse like that who always intimidate me and the new nurses. Nobody would ever attempt do that to me today. Unlike the new nurse I was 14 yrs ago, I speak up and don't allow bully's to come my way. If I wer...

I work in a rough neiborhood with very rough patients. Most of our pts are drug addicts with multiple infectious diseases. Ask them what their pain level is from the scale of one to ten and they tell you it's 20. Even the ones with common headache as...

You probably log on and forgot to log off and some pull the drugs under your name. Get a Do you have a union? Ask you Union rep, if u have one, request to see the camera for that time -hopefully there is one. We are able to pull drugs from any of the...

They stole mine twice, since then I started using the cheap ones provided by the facility. Nobody asks to borrow it anymore. My expensive one is in my locker just in case and thank God I never had to bring it out.

And some of them give only one or two days orientation and then throw you on the floor to care for 40 residents. A new grad with BSN I was prcepting had that experience in a SNF in NY. She had one day training in the classroom, the second day she wor...
