    Anyone getting calls for flu shots?

  5. Surprise! Wonder how long until a patient dies from some horrible infection they got from their nurse who was contaminated from cleaning rooms. That lawsuit is going to really

    Water

    Our manager says no, but we eat & drink in our station. We are often too busy to get our earned breaks so we feel we deserve to eat during the day when hungry. Shoot the docs participate and bring...

    Nurses with Lap Band

    It is frustrating. You can try the note from your MD, but if there is no one to cover you you're not getting it. I do suggest trying the suggestions others have offered. I also suggest discussing the...

    Disrespectful

    It's to the point they just don't care with faking respect for us. They know if you quit they'll just hire someone else or not fill the position at all. It's ridiculous! How do they expect us to care...

    Unknowing Canadian and the ACA

    Well unlike in Canada private insurances are still going to be running the show for the most part. The other issue is this is a political fight. So certain governors/states refuse to expand Medicaid...

    Why is it so hard to get & keep a full time job???

    Well you are prepared. It's hard in general to find jobs. Something will turn up. Make sure you have someone look at your résumé to see if it needs to be touched up. Good luck getting into your...

    Why is it so hard to get & keep a full time job???

    I think you need to keep looking. Try outpt facilities, dialysis, etc. I've not had an issue finding full time work. I have had an issue finding PRN or part time work for on my days

    I wouldn't chart for another nurse. If I was your friend I'd start looking elsewhere as I can only see this ending
  22. I read the article on the 2nd link. So you won't qualify for a "merit" increase unless you were an employee as of 9/1/13?? So no raises for future

    Does Nursing School=No Life Literally?

    I worked full time, went to school full time, and was able to maintain some fun in my life. I'm more of a homebody to begin with, I study well, and I slept whenever I could ( including in my car...

    How long is TOO long for an interview?

    I can see being frustrated with the length of time this is taking, but it's a good sign ( or at least it seems like it to me ). It means they are looking for the right person, not just anyone. If I...
