    RN1982 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I have a job interview tomorrow and I am putting my reference list together. How do should I write them? I kind of have a template but I'm not sure if this is right. Thanks in advance Name RN...

  2. The Dark Side of Unions

    RN1982 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    From what the OP described, that's how my non-union hospital ran. And that's how my union hospital is run. However, I like working at my union hospital more. I am more

    RN1982 posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am a bit stressed out. I'm in school right now and work has been bothering me, more so some of the idiots that I work with. And I'm just getting to the point where I am dreading going in and I get...

  4. Is it realistic that I'll make 80-100,000 thousand after I graduate with associates.

    RN1982 replied to Awright162's topic in General Nursing

    Pay is going to depend on the cost of living in the area where you plan on working. I can see new grads in Cali making 40 bucks an hour because the cost of living is high. In Michigan, New grads start...

  5. Over riding a resident?

    RN1982 replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    Seems to me you cared more about yourself than you did your patient. It is really concerning for me to read that you are more concerned about the regular staff coming in at 7a.m. to complete orders...

  6. Who's responsibility is it?

    RN1982 replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Nursing

    You were both in the wrong. You were both responsible. You both should have stopped bickering and went to see the

  7. Over riding a resident?

    RN1982 replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    You were wrong, the resident was right. You should have just drawn the labs. I think you were putting them off so you wouldn't have to do them because it was 6am. Sorry, I call it how I see it. In the...

  8. Exploitation

    RN1982 replied to runningwoman's topic in General Nursing

  9. Report critical of St. John Providence Health System labor practices

    RN1982 replied to herring_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I hate to say this but I work with a lot of former St. John's employees. Conditions are horrid. 3 patients to 1 nurse in SICU.

  10. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    RN1982 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    RN1982 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well, stop going on about how "attractive" you are. As far as I am concerned, it's

  13. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    RN1982 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Confident doesn't mean attractive though. Just because one is "pretty" or "attractive" doesn't mean they are exempt from being attacked. The OP should be more modest and just so ya know, the patients...

  14. Attractive nurses in danger?!

    RN1982 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    good grief, not another thread like this. It's less about your "attractiveness" and more about your

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I actually spoke with the manager already to set up the interview. I got the hours, the weekend hours and the call hours. It's not a bad deal. It's two twelves and two eights, days. I'm...

  17. Job interview next week!!!

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. What should I say when they ask me why I want to leave my current position? I was planning on saying that I wanted to get experience in a different area of nursing or something to that

  18. Our new boss writing everyone up!

    RN1982 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    My friend's sister works at another area hospital and her boss is writing everyone up because it affects their raise. Nice

  19. Audio Recordings and Patient Abuse

    RN1982 replied to MissSpectacular's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I had a patient tell me he was recording me. Said he was gonna sue me, "blah blah blah"...I said sure, whatever, record me, it's not admissible in court anyhow. He was a drug addict, very hostile with...

  20. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    RN1982 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    What did she say in return? I cut my so-called friend off completely, took her off my facebook, blocked her phone calls but she only ever texted me so I can't block them. She even requested to be my...

  21. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    RN1982 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to point out that people keep mentioning turning off the cell phone. Most of the time, that's all anyone has. People use cellphones more often than landlines. Hell, does anyone own a...

  22. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    RN1982 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I know how you feel. I felt the same way when I didn't help. I felt bad and guilty. It took me a long time before I realized how much I was getting stepped on. I talked about it a lot on here before....

  23. So does anyone here work in Cath Lab?

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm getting sick of all the cattiness and bureaucracy in my current unit so I saw a job posting for the cath lab. It would be a pre/post procedural position. What do you do? Is there on-call in your...

  24. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    RN1982 replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned a big lesson in regards to this. I had a friend who lost her job because she was on FMLA and was laid off. They asked her to come back but she couldn't because she was getting ready to...

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My vent: So I come in, I get my patient back that I had a previous night. A nurse doesn't show up. So the person in charge of our pod gets report on her patient then decides to give it to me because...
