    Nurse Managers - moving from 8 hour to 10 hour shifts

    klone replied to deweydecimal13501's topic in Nurse Management

    I just have to laugh at the idea that a nurse manager would work 40 hours/week. Yes, I do 10s and 12s, but I do them 5 days a week (once in a while I come in on a 6th day, but try my darnedest to not...

    Making 100k salary/ income as a nurse?

    klone replied to workingot's topic in Nursing Career

    I just went on Zillow to see what you can get in NYC for $1,500/month, and I was actually kind of surprised. If I wasn't married with kids, it would actually be kind of tempting to move out

    Your father sounds delightful, and great fun at parties. And I've seen even "great" surgeons get ***-canned for being abusive assholes.

    klone replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it or not, even surgeons are replaceable. Especially *** surgeons with a G-d complex. And actually, I've had a MUCH harder time replacing a good scrub tech, than I do surgeons. So, by that...

    klone replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Show me where I said all jobs are equivalent. What I said is that the surgeon is part of the team, and all members of the team are equally important (I.e. the circulating nurse is as important as the...

    klone replied to HelpfulNatureHopeful's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Surgeons aren't "heroes" - they're people who are part of a team. They are no more or less important than anyone else on the team. Okay, I just read through this entire train wreck of a thread....

    Types of Maternity Nursing?????

    klone replied to Jordan1927's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As more hospitals are moving away from well newborn nurseries and into couplet care, "postpartum" more often means moms and babies both. I've worked at a dozen facilities for OB, and I've never worked...

    How does part time work>

    klone replied to guest1137785's topic in General Nursing

    72 hours/pay period (I.e. 36 hours/week) is typically considered full-time, for calculation of benefits. In most hospitals, where staff typically work 12-hour shifts, all full-time employees only work...

    CA Licensure vs TX

    klone replied to jchav02's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, if you’re trying to endorse a year or two after you got your RN, they may deny it (most states require you to work a certain number of hours per year in order to renew your license) but not as...
