  3. What is an appropriate salary to ask for?

    becembrie replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you will make considerably less in a Doctor's office. I assume they know about your situation? Why don't you ask what you may expect. That will give you a starting point for negotiating. Does...

    becembrie replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in General Nursing

  10. help this lpn

    becembrie replied to debg's topic in General Nursing

    I think anyone would prefer to have a nurse like you. It only takes a few seconds to touch someone on the arm and ask if they need anything. You are a nurse because you care. I think you should...

  11. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    becembrie replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago when I was a very young nurse, I was doing relief charge on the PM shift. One of the surgeons who was pretty sure he was GOD was sitting at the nurses station charting. I had to kneel down...

  12. terrified of taking doctors orders

    becembrie replied to 1910anna's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you will find any help from a book or website. Once you do it a few times, you won't have any problems. Like everything else in nursing, experience will give you

  15. Confusing NLN Score!!! Please Help

    becembrie replied to Nessie_33's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't get some type of instructions for interpretation when you got these results? I have no clue what they mean. Seems like you'd get something that explains how to interpret

  16. Can a nursing student use the word "code"?

    becembrie replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    Are you kidding me? I agree with a previous poster to ask one of the folks who responded to your call to give you something in writing saying you did the correct thing. I can't believe she failed...

    becembrie replied to lasa's topic in General Nursing

    becembrie replied to dylansmama's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really new to the site, but I have to say that I haven't really seen too much of the snotty stuff. I think it can be hard to interpret sometimes, but for the most part, I think everyone is very...

  19. Am I crazy????

    becembrie replied to oregonchinamom's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't stay if I were so unhappy. Life is too short to work in a position that causes us stress unless we thrive on that type of work. The thing about nursing is that there are so many options...

    becembrie replied to inthesky's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    My Mom is currently dealing with the effects of Lewey Body Disease. As she slowly slips into dementia, I can only pray we can keep her home with us. I would never be able to work daily with dementia...

  22. ring around my mouth

    becembrie replied to becembrie's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't even think of that. I just figured I was being an idiot and applying way too much pressure. Actually, they used those clorox wipes to clean everything after the class. The marks are going...

  24. I was slapped by a doctor!

    becembrie replied to cluelessRN81's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I'm so glad this worked out. I've been wondering what happened. Your hospital took this seriously and I'm glad he resigned, but wish he was canned. Congratulations on the raise and for...

    becembrie replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    EEEEEWWH! I can't seem to close my mouth. Each story I read seems more disturbing than the last. I'm glad I work in Peds. Can't really think of anything that
