Forgive me if i am late with this but I saw the article and it excited me. I also did a search on here and didnt see anything so I decided to post the article link. It gives me real hope as a future...
I think that I will buy some new nike's for my neighbors kids. MY kids don't have ANY shoes at all right now but what the heck ? I have the money to do it. Makes sense right
I think that the situation is being blown out of proportion a little. I have had nurse internship offers in the St Pete Clearwater area which is right next door. Apply, follow up, and have a POSITIVE...

We get our own esp with all of the canceling going on. Its one thing to lose your job but quite another to be told you will also be homeless in 48 hours. Unecessary stress. Its also better to have a...

I keep them active. Its cheaper to pay 50 bux every two years than having to do an endorsement again. We just try to travel in the staes we're licensed

Boy this whole story sucks in a major way. You can't get a job because of a renewal fee and Janine Jones can kill an unknown amount of babies in the NICU for funsies and leave out of the front door...

Thanks for that. I have always been the one to do the right thing regardless and it has cost me professionally at times. It has been hard work to not become

Every agency that I have ever dealt with (a whole lot) wanted one year of experience in the area that they would send you to. Like the other poster said, your only other option is to work for them as...

I recently had a situation that demonstrates my love of unions in nursing. HR was "looking" for money in the budget and decided to cut the OT for anything over 8 hours in a day rule. AFTER we had...

I had to leave an assignment early and after explaining all to my recruiter they did NOT penalize me financially and even gave me my 500 bux in travel money in my last paycheck. You never know until...

I wonder what type of feelings those nurses have about unions given that they have worked in both environments? It would be interesting to hear their thoughts after a year or so on board with the...

HUH? Why do you keep responding in riddles and semi statements? Just say what you mean one way or another. Everybody's opinion is valuable if they at least bother to give

I think the fact that hospital owners and administrators fight so strongly against their nurses being unionized should speak very loudly. If they will fire a nurse for mentioning the word 1 time too...
whenever i am not full time with a permanent schedule i always call ahead and check with staffing/supervisor for just this reason. it sucks to show up for
Furthest for me was 1.5 hours away on a double double program. They had nurses quarters so only one trip out on Friday and one back on Monday. It was also DH and me and paid $$$ so it was worth
Well this is graduation day advice but Ill give it to you now. "You can ALWAYS get a new nursing job but NEVER a new nursing license". Always keep that in mind when making decisions and following...
