  1. The Grass Looks Greener

    cannoli replied to olympiad27's topic in Agency Nurses

    I like agency because I have some control, at least over my schedule. I don't have to work weekends or holidays. If I don't want to work I don't have to. Also, the politics are less working agency...

  2. Why not go in as an Independent RN Contractor

    cannoli replied to RN contractor's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Why are all these people promoting this? Some people wouldn't want it anyway. Don't you have to incorporate, do all your tax deductions (social security, medicare), carry different insurances....

  3. resigning

    cannoli replied to nurse62's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  6. Anyone sick of working weekends????

    cannoli replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    It didn't used to bother me, it does now. At some jobs I had to work 3 weekends on, 1 off; most recently it was every other weekend. It bothers me now. I now work agency and don't work weekends or...

  7. I finally had the guts to say no!!!

    cannoli replied to stella123 rn's topic in General Nursing

    So, why didn't she ask the two that had an aide and room for one? Are they her friends?, or was she afraid to ask them because she knew what the response would be? Maybe they would have refused even...

  12. Career Counseling PLEASE!

    cannoli replied to ninatobella's topic in General Nursing

    Don't know anything about Chicago. That sounds like a lot of money to me. The hospital I work at trains the PCTs so it doesn't cost the PCTs anything, they draw labs, do fingersticks, ekgs. I would...

    cannoli replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    cannoli replied to LPN-n-2005's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a stationary bike? You could do your reading/studying while riding the bike, after all, you have to do it anyway. It really helps with the butt and thighs, and if you do enough it will...

  15. Authoritarian HN

    cannoli replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

    One charge nurse I call, (to myself), Little Hitler. I think it's her personality, or lack of it. Nasty, rude, unsupportive, saps the spirit right out of me. I would call it a hostile work...

  16. Where do they get their information?

    cannoli replied to huggietoes's topic in General Nursing

  19. Come On!!

    cannoli replied to ainz's topic in General Nursing

  21. Come On!!

    cannoli replied to ainz's topic in General Nursing

    stella123 rn, that's interesting, if that unit is closed in one direction it should be closed in the other. Was that issue addressed and what was the response? You're right, there are plenty of...

    cannoli replied to stella123 rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It was rude or insensitive to say that to you knowing that you are a nurse. However, it goes to show what probably the majority of society thinks about nursing and

  24. False Charting

    One time, I did try to refuse an assignment, and I was threatened that I would never work in that hospital system again, I was also threatened that I would be reported to the BON for patient...

  25. False Charting

    cannoli replied to jjjoy's topic in General Nursing

    Management also likes to talk about the nurse's time management or lack of it. Sure you can ask for help, you don't get any. Sometimes there is no one to delegate to. Everyone is just as busy or...
