how does $14/ hr sound? Not getting paid for snow days, spring and fall break and summer break isn't a benefit...unless you're rolling in dough from another source.

I am a new MDS coordinator and I hate raps and have heard from the best and she hates them as well. Our new DON used to do MDS and she hates them as well. It's too time consuming and I really don't see the point when you're doing the care planning ...

I thought I'd update on the call thing. Once our corporate clinical lead found out what kind of deal the administrative nurses were dealing with, she was floored and said this is the only one of their facilities (out of 15) that had such crazy ways ...

Call without pay is unacceptable...plain and simple.

I'd like to see your excel for the pps. Could you PM it to me? Thanks in advance!!!! Melissa

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, educator positions are a rarity here as is anything else I've ever been interested in, in and outside of nursing. I have applied for a Health Educator position at a local hospital, but it was asked if I had phy...

Hi. I have been a nurse for 7 yrs. I've been out of patient care for the last year and traveling doing education for a pharmaceutical company. The travel is getting old and it's not as glamorous as many think it is, not to mention you have to do 2...

Hi. I have been an RN for 7 yrs. I've had my ups and downs with nursing in general. I've been on a hiatus from direct patient care for a year now but have been in the education/consulting arena during this time. It has required lots of travel and...

I was fired a few months ago after I requested an investigation into an incident between my clinical director and I. She was fresh out of nursing school, had no business in her position and was only hired after everyone that was qualified laughed at ...

I USED to be a circulator in outpatient surgery when we got a new clinical director, who had only been out of nursing school a year and half if that long, no surgical experience, no managment experience...was just dumb enough to take on that responsi...

Not a regret but wish I would have made better decisions earlier in life and taken different roads of interest. Would not do it again if I could go back.

Hi all. Thought I would throw out a question and vent a little at the same time. Today I was suspended without pay. I am circulator at an outpatient surgery center. I was taken to the office of the administrator about 2 months ago because I disag...

Thank you all for your feedback. I pretty much knew when that happened yesterday it was the final straw for me. I've been looking for new job opportunities for weeks now and have gotten my resume on some of the online job sites like careerbuilder a...

I work in an outpatient surgery center where we have about 6 eye docs that use our facility for cataract surgery. On occasion we have to do vitrectomies. Some of these docs do blephs as well, ptyrigium repairs, ectropian and entropians. I work alm...

Have a question regarding the wearing of scrubs. REcently our facility started providing scrubs that we have to wear. We also got a new administrator who has a surgical tech background and that's it...????? Anyway, she has now stated that no one i...

Hi all. I'm 2 yrs out of nursing school and currently work in dermatology which is a fine specialty...it's my employer I'm less than pleased with. Before this I worked for a psych hospital and wasn't thrilled with that. I've never had a desire to ...

I took one class at a cost of 1300$....very challenging, probably a great school, that UOP but way too expensive when i can take 20 15-20 credit hours a semester for that much money and 100% online with an instate university which is what I am starti...

Where I work, the nurses give the sedation, but only afer the doc tells us what drug and how much. After a while, we know what drugs each doc prefers and have them ready, but its often based on the procedure and condition of the patient. Most often...

Hi. I did some psych nursing right out of school then went into dermatology for a year and half. I went into Ambulatory Care thru a hospital. Where I am at, its just days. Due to the hospital being broke and major cut backs and lay offs, our unit...

I know I wont be working overtime if I'm not compesated for it.

Breaks...what are those? I haven't seen one in 8 months..wait...no, it's been more like 2 yrs. Someone mentioned techs...hmmmm I know all about those techs. I work with 4 that are worth a crap. Not only do they take several breaks a day, but exte...

I did 4 days in a nursing home. Hated it! Believe it or not I was in a desperate situation and it was all I could find. I cried every evening after work and literally ached head to toe bad from never having sat down and from the stress of being th...
