    full time msn and full time job

    ghillbert replied to jollygirl098's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I did it fulltime for 2 semesters, now have dropped school back to P/T because it's not sustainable once the clinicals start. I work 50-ish hours/wk Mon-Fri plus on-call, it just was really hard doing...

    Do you think this is fair compensation for orientation?

    ghillbert replied to lvnjden4ever, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    Why would you keep working there? Go and work at McDonald's and earn more for less risk. It sets a very bad precedent when a professional nurse will work for that kind of crappy wage - if you even...

    Do you think this is fair compensation for orientation?

    ghillbert replied to lvnjden4ever, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    Hell no! There's no way I'd go back there. I would not have agreed to work without knowing what the wage is

    Crocs Specialist - experiences?

    ghillbert replied to MiaLyse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am forever falling over my own feet, but love the lightweight crocs - so comfy for standing around in the OR. Find Danskos hard on my feet, roll my ankle, and soooooooooo heavy my shins hurt after...

    Pa hospital system won't hire smokers

    ghillbert replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that what you do on employer property is their business. However - smoking doesn't impair your performance like say, narcotics that they test for. I can't see how it's any of their business if...

    what should I do? Need major help with a terrible situation that I am in with my prof

    ghillbert replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    It is just inexplicable that students miss points for spelling, grammar, punctuation or formatting. You have inestimable resources online with which to get these things right. They are your 'free'...

    Visa screen.

    ghillbert replied to MomenTs's topic in International Nursing

    Where are you? What visa do you have? Does it need renewed soon? I wouldn't bother unless I needed it for a visa interview or something. Actually even then, I was never asked for it to this

    Needing advice about MSW vs RN

    Should CVVHD be 1:1

    ghillbert replied to kristenallene40's topic in Critical Care

    Whether a patient should be 1:1 depends on their acuity, not their machines. If he is seriously unstable, then yes. If he's regular-ICU-unstable, maybe not. Not just because he has a filter

    "We need to spend more on prevention" debated

    ghillbert replied to adlockwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have no idea what you're talking about. I suggested data would be good to support arguments. I did not suggest looking on google, although you mentioned it. I suggest peer reviewed journals....

    ghillbert replied to adlockwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Um.. you agreed with me, then disagreed with me? And who is Diane???? Data of course can be manipulated, which is why you need to see it in context and evaluate for yourself. There is a lot of data...

    NY-CVS Transcript not accepted

    ghillbert replied to moresoda's topic in International Nursing

    I would ask nicely for someone to let you know why it wasn't accepted (did you receive notice in the mail, or just the online status? You may need to wait for their letter to see the reason). If they...

    ghillbert replied to adlockwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'd love to see some data on some of the ridiculously unfounded views spouted in this thread. It's really very sad to see that health "professionals" have such

    ghillbert replied to want to do good 86's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Meds for what? Is there a "pep" pill?! Heh. If you've been checked out medically and you're ok, I guess the old standbys are good diet and exercise to improve your energy, as well as getting enough...

    leaving the hospital and 3 12's for working 5 8hours out of hospital

    ghillbert replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I did the switchover a few times back and forth. I currently work 8-4, M-F (supposedly, although it's never 8-4!) and I would MUCH RATHER do 3x12. I end up doing 5x10-11 anyhow. With 3x12, I love...

    Doctor was yelling...told me I was negligent....am I?

    ghillbert replied to rich5clark's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you be humiliated? The attending is the one that acted like an immature child. Not being confrontational is different to standing up for yourself (and your professional

    H1b Visa for nurses under FY 2010

    ghillbert replied to LemuelRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    The only relevant thing you posted is that the position requires BSN. There is no such thing as a "H1B hospital". Most big hospitals have H1B staff, but as you have read, it doesn't matter if the...
