  1. 1/3 of my paycheck goes to tax!

    RNTOBE_1970 replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing

    You pay more in taxes, the more money that you make-its relative. And the more money that you make, your bracket changes. With that change comes loss of credits and deductions. And my DH is a six...

  3. Questions...Questions..Questions??

    RNTOBE_1970 replied to tabatab923's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  9. Patients should ALL be swabbed tested for HIV

    RNTOBE_1970 replied to Cathylady's topic in General Nursing

    Universal Precautions work with all patients. Another tip, if you think you need to use PCP, then you probably do. I am so flipping tired of hearing from exposed employees "I always am extremely...

  17. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    RNTOBE_1970 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is just as bad as the "night shift has it easier than day shift" argument. Admits at shift change suck for everyone. If I cannot take report, I ask the charge
