  1. Inmates and lawsuits!

    military spouse replied to docpsychrn42's topic in Correctional

    I've been threatened with a lawsuit a few times for really stupid stuff. I just remind them how to spell my name and I give them the names of everybody higher than me so they can do an ARP! I always...

  2. Compare Glendale/Goodyear and per-diem pay rates

    military spouse posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi everyone, Hubby and I just got back from a trip to the PHX area and we looked at houses in Laveen, Goodyear, and Glendale (Arrowhead). Anyone care to tell us the pros and cons of each area? We...

  3. Revisiting the question of shift times:

    military spouse replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The hospital where I left worked the following: MS 0600-1800 ICU 0700-1900 L+D 0400-1600 ER 0700-1900, with a few variations particularly on the weekends. I currently work in corrections and the...

  4. Would you tell another facility you worked elsewhere for 1 week?

    military spouse replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't even go to the trouble of updating my resume if I only had the job for a week. Unfortunately, Most of the ALFs I've seen don't have many nurses on staff and allow unlicensed personnel to...

  5. OMG! My feet are killing me!

    military spouse replied to dansamy's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I used to think New Balance and SAS were really good shoes for me. I also tried Nursemates and they KILLED my feet. Then I tried Quarks and Crocs and there is just no comparison. My feet RARELY hurt...

  7. So Depressed!!!

    military spouse replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    I have one bit of advice: Have the very best and most enjoyable summer possible!! There will be plenty of time for school and work and just think of this as a really nice break. I completely...

  8. So Depressed!!!

    military spouse replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry! Have you explored every option? Are there any child care centers nearby? Can you patch together temporary

  9. Filipino nurses

    military spouse replied to monee8870's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Did you not understand that the majority of Filipinos to which we are referring speak only Tagalog while working? I don't think anyone has a problem with people who choose to speak English. Last...

  10. Fastest way to LPN/RN?

    military spouse replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. I will definately pass that along. I know the program I went through allowed us to take LPN boards after the first year and that ended up being great work experience and I...

  11. Fastest way to LPN/RN?

    military spouse replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, I've encouraged her to do that. Right now she is looking at a program that costs $42,000 which seems like too much. I know when I went to school, I probably didn't spend $5,000.

  12. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    military spouse replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Our oldest daughter is taking her prereqs for EB and heard a rumor that one must now be a CNA to be accepted into the program. Has anybody else heard that or can anybody verify it to be factual?...

  13. Filipino nurses

    military spouse replied to monee8870's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't think the OP is a racist. I think one cannot understand until they have lived in an area that has groups that don't participate in the "melting pot." When people immigrate here and choose to...

  14. Filipino nurses

    military spouse replied to monee8870's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I forgot to say that most shifts she is usually the only non-Filipino nurse at her facility. So when I say that EVERYBODY is speaking Tagalog (on the floor, in the break room and, often, to...

  15. Filipino nurses

    military spouse replied to monee8870's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It must be a SoCal thing. My sister works in Placentia and shares your frustrations. She gets very frustrated when working charge and they choose to ignore the majority of what is said in English....

  16. Frustrated

    military spouse replied to frustrated graduate's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that you are going through this. I don't have any advice, but I believe in prayer and I will be praying for you. Don't give up. How many times can you take the...

  17. Paying back $100, 000 back in loans

    military spouse replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just the thought of working full-time plus a few per-diem shift has exhausted me. I better go to bed

  18. Decatur, Arab, Boaz Albertville

    military spouse posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm amazed at the low-cost of housing in these areas. Can anyone shed some light on the quality-of-life and hospitals? Any info on housing, etc. would be appreciated. It looks so beautiful! Thank...

    You are SO

  21. Low Census....again!

    military spouse replied to SouthernBelleinsocal's topic in General Nursing

    We rotated call-offs. Generally, somebody wanted to be called off and they were the first, but if that didn't happen there was a book to keep track of who had been called off most recently. I...

  22. Looks a hinderance to being hired?

    military spouse replied to newtress's topic in Correctional

    I know!! With all of the MRSA, HIV, Hep C, and STDs we see in the prison, I can never imagine being attracted to an inmate. Many of ours seem to swing the other way when they don't have access to...

  23. Looks a hinderance to being hired?

    military spouse replied to newtress's topic in Correctional

    About a year ago, we had several nurses become involved with inmates. One even had a baby!! I havent' heard of us having this problem lately,

  25. Patient LOAD anyone?

    military spouse replied to Pheobe05's topic in General Nursing

    While living in AZ, we had 5-6 on days and 6-7 on nights. Plenty of admissions/discharges to keep us
