    RN pay in the Bay Area, CA?

    caliotter3 replied to soontobenewgrad2020's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no, the landlords fix the problem. That is, the problem of their bottom line. They raise the rent as fast and as often as legally

    This. ^^ When my sliding across all lanes of highway traffic at night while falling asleep became a regular thing, I gained the attention of the Highway Patrol. Their presence each night when I...

    Unit Closed - Should I move on?

    caliotter3 replied to Nurse1220's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the PP who say don’t wait. My experience with employers tells me they are likely to staff with new employees when things go back. Never trust the employer to keep you in mind or to even...

    Switching nursing schools

    caliotter3 replied to Thl27's topic in General Students

    A classmate of mine switched programs after the first year of the nursing content and the only course that was accepted by the new school was Fundamentals of Nursing. He basically had to repeat the...

    It might not be OK for them to have done this but you would only be making things worse by pushing it. Dust off and go with Plan

    NBC's The Nurses - Just another nurse show?

    NBC's The Nurses - Just another nurse show?

    caliotter3 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Beginning was a watered down version of the first scene of Code Black, which I miss. Give me Code Black or Nurse Jackie any day. Don't see myself watching

    Not Getting Paid Overtime. Is This Illegal?

    caliotter3 replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in General Nursing

    An employment attorney would probably tell you that the contents of that letter you signed that stated your pay rates would be what constitutes your agreement with the employer. If you don't like the...

    Not Getting Paid Overtime. Is This Illegal?

    caliotter3 replied to AnaBanana.RN's topic in General Nursing

    One CA employer told me the election for the alternative work week was held 23 years prior. Another held an election while I was there and then did not disclose the “results” until I point blank...

    Stressed about going back to work during covid

    caliotter3 replied to NurseNugget3's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The situation is worsening in many areas. Cases are appearing or increasing in numbers where previously there were no or lower incidences. Best to learn to cope as you are if you don’t have to work...

    My BON notified my employer of my open formal complaint

    caliotter3 replied to AbbeyR's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Rest assured someone would probably be quite satisfied to learn if your employer finds “reason” to part ways with you. Not that the Board should keep everything a big secret, but it is not...

    Non Clinical Jobs

    caliotter3 replied to joyflnoyz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Instead of intermittent visit HH, look for extended care. If the job placement ad is unclear to you, call the contact and ask them if they have extended care work. That is where you find the shift...

    Digital/ Hardcover Books

    caliotter3 replied to Tam Nguyen's topic in General Students

    If you can afford it, get both, then resell the paper book when the course is finished. I say this after watching my grandkid struggle with the length of time it took to “turn” digital pages on a...

    PRN not being used what is happening

    It depends on the employer. I worked for one employer that sent a formal letter informing the individual that their employment had ended after they had not worked in a 90 day period. Most employers...

    Covid pay

    caliotter3 replied to nurselife72's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If this is worth looking for another job to you, then do so. But I really don't see why you don't speak up first. And speak up loudly. Twenty dollars an hour is a whole lot of reason to be upset as...

    Police Officer in Nursing School

    caliotter3 replied to ReeceTrey's topic in General Students

    As a matter of fact, beyond the job subject, keep as much of your personal life to yourself as possible. You never know what the instructor's personal prejudices may be. Not all of them are angelic...

    Best advice I can offer is to keep your full time work status to yourself. Nursing administration/instructors are historically notorious for using your job as a weapon against you. And you must...
