  1. Interview Attire? Suit or no Suit...that is the question...

    Nurse Salt replied to RiverRunner's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I recently interviewed for a position in L&D and wore navy blue dress slacks, a white camisole and a coral cardigan. I kept jewelry simple, carried a nice hand bag and wore beige pumps. I remember...

  2. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    Nurse Salt replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    First off, I hope I have misinterpreted your indication that psych and LTC nursing is somehow a lesser form of nursing. Next, you seem to answer your own question... If a new grad is complaining they...

  3. Samuel Merritt ABSN & job outlook

    Nurse Salt replied to yukitiki's topic in General Nursing

    You are all lucky. Are you in the Bay Area? I don't know why it is hard. But I have known many grads this year who are having difficulties finding employment. When I graduated, I know many students in...

  4. What Was the DUMBEST Request Made By A Patient?

    Nurse Salt replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Erratic, when I was a bartender I had a customer request I blend her plain tap water because she did not have her dentures... She thought it would somehow magically become the consistency of a milk...

  8. ATTN: bay area RN new grads.. Were you able to land a new grad job?

    Nurse Salt replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    Finding a job will not take a year, and anyone who says it will has not explored all available options. I think when we all went into nursing school we were told repeatedly that when we graduated the...

  10. Night shift: Tired all the time ?????

    Nurse Salt replied to TangoLima's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is not "unnatural" for everyone to be up all night. I have been a night owl my entire life and when I switched to night shift it took me about 3-4 months to adjust completly. I switch back and...

    Nurse Salt replied to pogiboy67's topic in California Nursing

    Woknblues, just an FYI: new nurses in SF Bay Area make anywhere from $42-$52/hr... Just to knit pick, so really it is worth it to stay here. New Grads, just be persistent!!! Call recruiters and check...

  12. Samuel Merritt ABSN & job outlook

    I have approximately $45,000 of debt after graduating from SMC (debt free from 1st bachelors). My monthly payments are around $500/mo for the next 10 years. Obviously, if I pay more I will pay it down...

  14. Is kaplan worth it?

    Nurse Salt replied to babyphat's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not worth it... They give a good pitch to get graduates interested, but that's about it! I took it and passed the first time, but still believe just about the only positive is their money back...

    Nurse Salt replied to JHansen's topic in General Nursing

    Of course! If I don't answer my pt's call lights no one else

  17. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    Nurse Salt replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm just lucky... When/if I call sick and I am not physically confined to my bed, management cannot call me out on it, that's considered harassment and there is a no harassment from management...

  18. Male Nurse and Sexual Comments

    Nurse Salt replied to Turd.Ferguson's topic in General Nursing

    A friend of mine works for a hospital that gave all employees from house keeping to the MDs iPod shuffles in 2006 for "employee appreciation." My hospital doesn't give us

  20. Male Nurse and Sexual Comments

    Nurse Salt replied to Turd.Ferguson's topic in General Nursing

    Um, this could turn into a very scary situation very fast if you do not act now and is your friend aware of the weirdo's comments? If not, she needs to be so she is not taken off guard or does not...

  21. Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    Nurse Salt replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    So, if I call in sick, and am not really sick, is that considered fraud? My union contract says nothing about "fraud changes" if sick time is used for non-sick days. It just says I am entitled to XX...

  25. HIPAA Question. Appropriate?

    Nurse Salt replied to beachbum3's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel since we work as a team in the hospital we need to know basic things about the patients on our floor/unit. If he had moved to another floor I may feel differently, but I...
