    Full-Time Employee taking Per Diem Rate/No Benes

    CCL"Babe" replied to jude11142's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't seem right/fair. You should be compensated for job performance. I agree with the theory of incentive raises, which is what my hospital system does. Check with your HR

    CCL"Babe" replied to BrandieRNq's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Is there a law or rule that states nurses are not allowed to scrub/assist?

    how do you keep a nursing cap on?

    CCL"Babe" replied to PowerPuffGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Ours were held on by hat pins. If you had long hair the hat pins went through the bun or what ever. If your hair was short, wads of paper bobby pinned to your hair, then hat pins through the paper...
