    Sign on bonuses

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Yuvonne's topic in General Nursing

    Are we talking about actual taxes here or are we talking about the withholding of money from your paycheck? My bonuses and my husband's have never actually been taxed as anything but additional wages....

    It means she touched him and turned him to gold. And then she sold him to one of those "We Buy Gold"

    Yyyyep, I'm finding it hard to understand how people are condemning the OP while having absolutely NO IDEA what "charge" means at that particular

    Was reprimanded and told to resign. Advice or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Agreed. SO dumb on the part of the corporation. Especially since it was just indigestion, no harm

    How to deal with the old/experienced nurses?!

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Anna-s's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really thought this person you responded to was just trying to point out the very real possibility that the OP is not only a new grad but also a youthful person, possibly their first "real job?" I...

    Well gee, you never know what's going to be construed as profanity around here. I fully expect to come back and have my post edited to remove the

    Weird interviews

    redhead_NURSE98! posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have been a nurse for 18 months, which makes me no longer a new grad in employers' eyes. I have had two interviews recently for other places, and the questions ranged somewhere from "Can you meet...

    How is the floor/hospital census lately?

    Yep we're busting. It was like this last year

    What's the weirdest thing management has said to you?

    "The committee meeting is at 11:30 so you can just clock out for lunch and go to the meeting." "......Do you want me to go to clock out and go to lunch, or go to the meeting? Those are the

    The Slow Code: Justified?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I find it ridiculous to have a hospice patient that is not a DNR. It might just be what I was taught in our local hospice though..the patient had to be a DNR, all family had to agree to this, if the...

    The Slow Code: Justified?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Do you all ever wonder if these wishes are financially motivated? Like the deadbeat kids who "take care of" their parents in the parents' home, and cash their SS checks to "provide care" for them? I...

    What makes you want to vomit?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    The thought of inserting an NG tube. The one time so far that it was "my" task to do, I asked a nursing student if she wanted to do it and she did it! I was holding one halfway down this year while...

    The Slow Code: Justified?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I view a living will as being subject to interpretation by some ignorant physician (generally one not educated in the United States) as "oh they have a living will? They're DNR." Seriously. WHATEVER...

    Do you cut corners in your daily nursing practice?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    On my floor there is a nurse who was charge from 7-3 for years, never touched a patient, never helped out, rarely processed discharge papers. In fact I'm not real sure what she did exactly. This past...

    BSN as entry into practice; why we decided against it.

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No actually I don't need to do that at all. If you want to jump in defending others' posts, then maybe you should read all of the posts so you know exactly what you're defending. Don't know what to...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yep, and "just that" only has one meaning. I can't really explain the other way "just that" can be read. At this point I'd just be trying to teach a pig to

    Again, reading comprehension, it's what's for breakfast. At this point you apparently have no idea what you were even defending. Go re-read and get back to me, masters

    So, I can only find that you are unaware of the different nursing care delivery models. BECAUSE THEY DO PAY RN'S TO DO THIS!!!!

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yep, requiring a masters degree for floor nurses will really help that misconception on being "overpaid butt wipers." Then it'll be "overpaid, overeducated butt wipers with no career sense." Sign me...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to MunoRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why is that ridiculous? Do I need a masters degree to wipe butts? I was unaware. There are plenty of tasks done by a nurse that are not required to be done by a nurse, all day long. Where do YOU...
