    Commute

    Mavrick replied to prw1217's topic in Nursing Career

    Do your best to turn "commute" time into "off work" time. I believe in music therapy so a subscription to Sirius was my solution. I could pick tunes that helped me transition from a crappy work day...

    Schedule NCLEX before ATT?

    Mavrick replied to raspberry1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Could that make the whole vacation tax deductible? I'ts kinda job hunting related. I've heard of people scheduling a job interview on a vacation to try the deduction

    2018 Nurse Salary

    Mavrick replied to #MakeItRain's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, special circumstances do apply. You have no sick days, no vacation days, none of the usual job protections as per diem has no guaranteed hours. It's misleading not to mention that. OP is taking...

    I disclosed my disability and now they won't answer my calls

    Mavrick replied to LaneyD's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    My misunderstanding too. From your original post it wasn't clear you had a bona fide disability that prevented you from rotating shifts. Your actual condition is none of my business. There are many...

    My apologies to the nursing profession

    Mavrick replied to Jon12's topic in General Nursing

    WOW. It took quite a bit of doing to read through all of the self pitying, whining, sarcastic "venting" of the OP. There IS something seriously wrong with you when EVERYONE is out to make your life as...

    Relationship problems

    Mavrick replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody's crying in my house. My wife is currently in Sedona, Arizona having a "girl's weekend" with an old friend of hers. I get pictures of them with Margaritas and videos of her on a 4x4 AND Segway...

    Would you say anything?

    Mavrick replied to Ambersmom's topic in General Nursing

    On the Dr. Pimple Popper show (yes, it's a real show on TLC) there was a guy with a huge hump on his back. It was so visible and a real embarrassment to him he kept a T-shirt slung over his shoulder...

    I disclosed my disability and now they won't answer my calls

    Mavrick replied to LaneyD's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I don't usually pile on but, seriously? Unable/unwilling to work rotating shifts you call a disability?? You informed the manager you cannot meet the requirements of the job she has to offer. She...

    Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    Mavrick replied to sarahky79's topic in General Students

    Nope. Not a student or a graduate nurse either. Not for the official record anyway. You're not a nurse until a licensing board says you're a Nurse. (i.e. pass

    Mitch McDeere: It's not sexy, but it's got teeth! Ten thousand dollars and five years in prison. That's ten and five for each act. Have you really looked at that? You've got every partner in the firm...

    Is it a medication error if...?

    Mavrick replied to kbrowning's topic in Patient Medications

    There must be some "missed charge" involved or our Pharmacy wouldn't have such a fit when a dose of Ofirmev is removed from the Pyxis but not charted. We get nastygrams in our e-mail to "correct" the...

    Should I write a memoir?

    Mavrick replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Of course it's arrogant to write a memoir but that shouldn't stop you if you have the resources to write/publish one. If your purpose is to set the world on fire with your wit at telling your story,...

    My apologies

    Mavrick replied to YellowMaskrosbarn's topic in General Nursing

    Visible tattoos appropriate for RN's?

    Mavrick replied to jayne12's topic in General Students

    There is no way to judge whether his tattoos have affected his career advancement. No one with any sense will admit that his tats turned them off. It will be for some "didn't meet our criteria for...

    Resume Summary Help

    Mavrick replied to opalbee's topic in General Nursing

    Brilliant to counter the hospital's "no obligation" to saying you actually prefer working weekends. Not at all unusual for nursing students to be unavailable during the week. I agree, your classwork...
