  1. Are They Jealous?

    military spouse replied to pa0723's topic in General Nursing

    The RN is not always the "boss." I had a prn job at a SNF where I was a charge nurse and the ADON was a LPN. She was the boss. Just remember that an LPN may have many years of valuable experience...

  3. University of Phoenix MSN Program

    military spouse replied to bsweilrn's topic in School, College Programs

    Hello, Does anyone know the maximum amount of time one is allowed to complete the MSN program? I took one class about 6 months ago and am thinking of starting again, but am getting conflicting info...

  4. How are you treated by RNs

    military spouse replied to amylc's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hello, I'm an RN and I've seen LPNs treated many ways. Most are treated as part of the team. My closest friend is an LPN and a great nurse. There are some RNs that will not treat LPNs equally with...

  5. Wouldn't you consider this stealing???

    military spouse replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand using the occasional sticky note, but not taking the whole pad. How could anyone "borrow" a bulletin board? That is just rude! I'd be

  6. Raising Their Wages......

    military spouse replied to mark hamel's topic in Texas Nursing

    Unfortunately, that means little. I'm originally from CA and cannot afford to return. My sister recently (2 years ago) bought a house in Orange County and paid approx. $560,000 for a 50 year old...

  7. dallas-forthworth hospitals

    military spouse replied to bubbles4's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi, We almost relocated to that area. While out looking at houses, I heard several derogatory remarks made about the hospital in North Richland Hills. None of these were from nurses, seemed to be...

  8. Anyone in Enterprise or Dothan area?

    military spouse replied to militaryspouse98's topic in Alabama Nursing

    That is my hugest fear! I always want to live in an area where there is a back-up plan or two or three I love Dothan and the low cost-of-living, but there just aren't too many jobs out there. We...

  9. Need Help!!!

    military spouse replied to Indiana_Rn's topic in General Nursing

    Acute care can be VERY overwhelming. Perhaps a change such as home health, hospice, LTC, corrections, etc. would give you a different perspective. I HATED working at the hospital right after...

  11. Correctional nursing similar to military sick call?

    military spouse replied to 91W's topic in Correctional

    Hi, I believe the dispensary has some similarities to what you are describing. Where I work, sick calls are generally done in the afternoons after treatments are completed. Treatments usually take...

    military spouse replied to popet25's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello! I lived there a few years ago. The hospitals in El Paso are Del Sol, Las Palmas, Providence and Sierra. I don't know if you live there already, but if you don't that may be helpful. While...

    Hi, Anyone willing to chime in about utilities (water, gas, electric, trash), property taxes and homeowner's insurance. I love where I live now, I mean I hate where I live now, I...

  15. correction nurses pay scale??

    military spouse replied to sphz9471's topic in Correctional

    Hi, I live in PA, but work in MD. I make $24/hr on days, but I'm asking for a raise as they are advertising "exciting new pay rates" in the paper. I like my job more than my last job that was in a...

  16. NOW I'm in shock.

    military spouse replied to Laurie888's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm hoping to make you feel better............many states require nurses that have not been employed for a certain number of hours in a licensing period to attend a refresher course that is basically...

  17. Do you say NICK_U or N-i-c-u?

    military spouse replied to tofutti's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Where I was in AZ, everyone called it the NICU (NickU), but we also called ICU the ICK U--and we really meant

  18. I Need Information

    military spouse replied to ab21's topic in Texas Nursing

    Welcome! I would recommend going to your local colleges that offer nursing programs and discussing what is necessary to apply. Some schools have competitive admissions and if you have good grades,...

  19. Nursing is my oyster...now where to live

    military spouse replied to NO1_2NV's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for those kind words! I never felt that we had done her a disservice until we moved here....around people who are "from here." In military circles, everyone moves so frequently. I'm glad it...

  20. Don't think I want this job anymore.

    military spouse replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Home Health

    That call schedule is rough! I used to KNOW my radio lineup......Dr. Laura, Bob Brinker's Money Talk, Dr. Laura, Tojm Martino's Trouble Shooter, Michael Reagan show! I used to plan my long drives...

  21. Nursing is my oyster...now where to live

    military spouse replied to NO1_2NV's topic in General Nursing

    You really need to live in a military community! My daughter's new teacher (not military) basically suggested that we did our daughter a disservice by moving so frequently. Of course, she lives on a...

  22. Nursing is my oyster...now where to live

    military spouse replied to NO1_2NV's topic in General Nursing

    Had to laugh about the Compton remark. We grew up in OC, but haven't lived there for almost 20 years. Hubby joked the other night that if we went back, we probably couldn't even afford

  23. Don't think I want this job anymore.

    military spouse replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Home Health

    I would give it a bit more time. I worked for hospice, similar with the driving and flexibility, and there were times that it was the GREATEST job ever and times that I HATED it! Of course, my boss...

  25. on call dispute

    military spouse replied to gara0501's topic in General Nursing

    That's a crummy policy, but who else would end up working? I'm guessing you have the option of trying to find coverage. I would also think you could negotiate a comp day. Are the weekend nurses...
