  3. What to expect as a RN Nurse Supervisor role with no nursing exp.?

    NurseJacqui replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    I would turn it down, as you are not qualified for it. I am rather curious as to why you would be offered a position like that with no experience in the first place. Not trying to sound harsh but I am...

  5. Staffing Ratios Condemn Patients To Inferior Care

    NurseJacqui replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While I agree with you that it is a management issue ...it is easier said than done. Especially in a very large, very busy ER with maybe one charge nurse. I see it all the time. Nurses will come up...

  6. Staffing Ratios Condemn Patients To Inferior Care

    NurseJacqui replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am not a total fan of staffing ratios. At least not in the ER. In my experience...in order to adhere to ratio, pts waiting to be seen are sitting in waiting room for hours. And inside the nurses...

  9. Health Insurance and Traveling

    NurseJacqui replied to Guest296136's topic in Travel

    IN my experience the insurance pretty much sucks. High copay, high deductible, high coinsurance, usually HMO. That's even if they offer major medical. And half the time its some weird company that no...

  13. Reputation of a travel company

    NurseJacqui replied to sassipisces's topic in Travel

    True dat. I was told they provide rental cars, license reimbursement and certification reimbursement. Guess what? None of that happened. I was also charged a move-in fee and upgrade fee when they put...

  14. Reputation of a travel company

    NurseJacqui replied to sassipisces's topic in Travel

    Don't expect fancy apartment overlooking the ocean. They will only put you in extended stay for first contract. They put me in one near the airport in one of the worst parts of Miami and charged me a...

  15. Reputation of a travel company

    NurseJacqui replied to sassipisces's topic in Travel

    I work for Nightingale. They are VERY cheap. Will only put you in crappy extended stay for first contract. Those are usually near airport and not in good area. If you take the stipend its only $1200 a...

  16. is $27/hr in NYC ER really a normal pay?

    NurseJacqui replied to GleeGum's topic in Travel

    You are getting paid less because the housing is so expensive. So that sounds about right. A decent 1 bedroom NYC apt in doorman building goes for about $2500 or more. I was making almost $45 an hour...

    NurseJacqui replied to 1john4:10's topic in Travel

    I sincerely doubt it. Besides when you are a traveler you get TWO days orientation, if that. I would get a year as a staff nurse on a pediatric floor first. I mean would you REALLY feel comfortable...

  21. Being a Nurse for a Killer

    NurseJacqui replied to Stickyrunner325's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like every patient I take care of. Some of them I downright loathe. But as a matter of ethics, I would never refuse to take care of any patient, regardless of how I feel about them. It's not...

  25. Are your hospitals only hiring new grads that are "cream of the crop"?

    NurseJacqui replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Cream of the crop new grad? No such thing. All brandy new nurses come out of school with one thing in common-they know jack ^%#* , even though many think they know everything:) I remember coming out...
