  1. Average pay for RNs in Arkansas?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Fesler's topic in General Nursing

    Well, Dubya is no longer here in Texas, but the disasters he left in his wake are still here. If you want to work in a state that does not require any employer to carry Workman's Comp, come on down to...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

  5. Personnal lives or reckless?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    Heavens, no! We would never, smoke, drink, eat fatty foods, or jay-walk, either!

  7. When in uniform?!?!?!?!?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    It really bugs me when I spend $200. bucks or more at a grocery store, and the cashier does not even make eye contact. I have started giving my business to a local store that is really expensive, but...

  8. Employee handbook

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to adidas99's topic in Nursing Humor

    Well, I am "fat" and I thought it was funny. Only I drink Atkins' shakes, not slimfast.

  9. Made to Falsify Documentation :(

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to shel_wny's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The majority of states have no staffing laws and have nothing to do with staffing nursing homes. The mgmt and administration of the nursing homes determine staffing. It is what the market will bear....

  11. I can't believe I let this man hurt me like this

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to OHmom2boys's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Kim, I a very sorry for what you've been through. I truly hope you are strong enough to go on without him. A man like you describe can only make your life worse, not better. All the best to you....

  12. IV in AC

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to webbiedebbie's topic in General Nursing

    The ER nurses gotta do what they gotta do, and floor nurses gotta do what they gotta do. Personally, I never heard of this business of nurses being "off the floor" when ER wanted to report on an...

  13. RN bashing

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. As for RNs making more money- more education> more knowledge> more responsibility> more money. I think the complaining that RNs make more than LPNs in not justified. I know that docs...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Emergency

    Once you become a nurse, you will have a completely different view. Right now, you don't have a

  17. Funny things you have said but wish you didn't

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Rotfl! I work with a male dialysis tech who is very small. Although he's in his 20s, he is the size of a 7 or 8 yr old boy. He recently said "little prick, here." before he stuck a pt. I couldn't help...

  18. Care Plans an Exercise in FUTILITY??????

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Destinystar's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Careplans are helpful to students, because they help you to think like a nurse. Once one becomes a nurse, the pt's problems and potential problems are in your head, and a written care-plan is not...

  19. Diet and diabetes--how important?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to rnmi2004's topic in General Nursing

    This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. No doubt an administrator without a medical background thought this up. The patients have doctor's orders for their diets. Does the facility plan to...

  20. NP education - a rant

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to CatskillNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have a friend who had been a certified critical care RN, with a BSN, for 15 years. She went back to school for another 4 years and got her CFNP. She has been looking for an NP job for almost a year,...

  21. Female nurses earn less than male nurses

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    As the articles show, males make more than females, whether they are nurses or not. This is fact, not opinion. I find it appalling that this is still the case in 2004. Especially since women are the...

  23. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    Having a license does not guarantee that a nurse is competent, either. However, it is some type of minimal standard. Parents should be required to meet some type of minimal standards, as well. I do...

  24. Medicaid. Is it being abused?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to SWFlorida's topic in Emergency

    I totally agree! My husband and I have no children, and we pay 30% of our income in taxes, and do not get tax refunds. There is no logical reason to reward those who add to the problem of teen and...

  25. Is LTC really this bad?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to Sheri257's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I feel that for-profit corporations are the problem. the less they spend on their resident's the more they keep, the more profitale their facilities
