    NYC (or Long Island) agencies?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Does (or has) anyone work for any agencies in the area? I was interested to know what kind of assignments you get. I'm a peds nurse. I looked into MSN staffing, and always see ads for White Glove....

    closed staffing

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to kat9114's topic in General Nursing

    I assume this is a condition you agree to when you are hired? And when it was initiated, did everyone on the unit have to agree to it? Is anyone exempt? To the OP- I think teamwork is the key...

    Expectations of agency nurses

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to mattsmom81's topic in Agency Nurses

    It's almost as if staff nurses do not think of that. Would you rather work without the extra help (It's usually not even extra these days), or have the agency nurse there, and divide the workload...

    Scared to be "THAT agency nurse"

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to erinnRN's topic in Agency Nurses

    I know this is an old thread, but I'm considerimg signing up with an agency (locally), and never thought about this. I currently work as a per-diem in two hospitals. I sometimes feel that the regular...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Nursing Career

    i'm not sure if this is what you are talking about, but i usually highlight my experience in the cover letter (or in your instance, opening statement). something like, "as you can see from my...

    Axillary temps; how accurate/inaccurate are they?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    some food for thought: i had a patient with a high temp, and the patient's room was very warm. i told the attending, and she (who is indian) said, "do you think everyone in india have temps because...

    Axillary temps; how accurate/inaccurate are they?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    in peds heme/onc, there are no rectal temps ever!!! there are many babies, and unwilling children (or ones who are drooling severely secondary to mucositis), where an oral temp is just not going to...

    General concensus of floor nursing

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to chad75's topic in General Nursing

    Same with my job. While I feel the same way about my job (and am not a new grad), I wonder, where do they think they are going to go that it will be better? I feel bad for them. I've been around...

    EMT-P Question

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Emergency

    very well said. they are kind of like apples and oranges (to some extent). the clinical training is much more intense for medics- they are not giving bed baths for their first semester. they are...

    Meet the Fockers

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    i usually like the 'toilet humor' to an extent. i found the original to be a little too ridiculous. i couldn't bear to see ben focker in such agony anymore. i know it's pretend, but how many things...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to jacesmom2's topic in Nursing Career

    i've learned that no shift is perfect. day shift is tough, because you have to get them up early, and find someone to get your kids off to school, and pick them up late (unless there is an...

    Brain Dead Child Discharged to Home With Parents

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Euskadi1946's topic in Pediatric

    how fast does chemo act?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to leslie :-D's topic in Oncology

    I'm sorry for your loss. You sound like you were (somewhat) comfortable with the decision you made. We have no idea what it is like to be on the other side of the situation until it happens to us....

    Should I quit my job?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to jacesmom2's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with most of the posters, that 2 months is not a long time. Besides, It is not usually customary to get hired to days (I know it's not impossible). So if you get a new job that's not days,...
