    nsgshortage replied to sandals's topic in Travel

    The first thing to keep fair is the pay. If the travel companies sliced a bit more off their profits it would be easier to get the nurses. Always listen to the customer. If someone says they want to...

  7. wearing gloves when feeding neonates

    nsgshortage replied to chuddy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I also wear gloves when diapering and any handling of breastmilk. I do feel the babies also need the human touch with most aspects of their care. Most of the MRSA and infection I believe comes from...

    nsgshortage replied to MK6babies's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Run girl, RUN!!! Women have to study about money and how to make money!!! Don't be a nurse. Admit, where I work in South Florida means that you are carrying the load of 3 patients plus FIRST ADMIT....

  13. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    nsgshortage replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    First place would be Northshore Medical in Miami. Next up the former Parkway. Northshore is a ghetto hospital, very poorly run. Particularly the Maternal/OB. Director is a tyrant, also ignorant of...

    nsgshortage replied to wooosp's topic in California Nursing

    They are a TENET hospital. That would explain why they are crap! Tenet can't retain their nurses. They are the worst. Dangerous staffing, bad management. I would not work for Tenet again if they...

  16. New travel RN...how much to expect?

    nsgshortage replied to Kait's topic in Travel

    It's nice that CCTC got you in the door, but you don't "owe" them anything. Why are their salaries so low? I can bet they are billing the hospital at least $80-90 an hour. Get some experience and...

    nsgshortage replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    YES!!! Getting into nursing is the biggest mistake of my life. You are just a skilled worker. Healthcare in this country has very little to do with helping sick people, it is all about bucks. BIG...

    nsgshortage replied to tabymac's topic in California Nursing

    DON'T sign a contract for 2 years! Not these days. There are not enough nurses to go around. Trust me. Sit back and tell them you are thinking about it. Take the training, but no more than 1 year...
