  1. Bend Over

    WyomingRN replied to WyomingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    There is no way to overthrow the government every two years. The most we can do in two years is vote for Congressmen and 1/3 of the Senate. But what good will that do? What are our choices?...

  2. Need advice on agencies trying to stop me from being IC

    WyomingRN replied to tink135's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    As to azverte's post (#5), I have yet to find any state statute that would stop nurse from setting them self up as a business entity. Such would be a violation of the Constitutional right to contract...

  3. Travellers......PLEASE HELP!!!

    WyomingRN replied to Midwestbabygirl's topic in Travel

    The facilities in this area that were using travelers told them they weren't using travelers any more. What a line of bull, they just switched to out-of-state companies for a couple of months and...

  4. Will RN's, LPN's be affected by the new OT rules?

    WyomingRN replied to Mr_D's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "I don't know anywhere that you can turn a bill in at the end of the month otherwise I would be right on it." Speculating - The difference is that you are an employee and I am not. I am an autonomous...

  5. Will RN's, LPN's be affected by the new OT rules?

    WyomingRN replied to Mr_D's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm all for this bill. Hopefully they will cut out all OT for RNs. Maybe - just maybe, it will wake them up to the fact that they ARE professionals and thus, should start conducting themselves as...

  6. Prokarin for MS Patients

    WyomingRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Thought I would let everybody on here know about Prokarin for MS patients. I have a 31 year old son that has MS. He was diagnosed at the age of 23. He started on this medication in February 2003 and...

  7. Fired for no cause

    WyomingRN replied to sammy004's topic in General Nursing

    Being in a small hospital with only 2 nurses is not a justifiable excuse. If there were 2 nurses on and one was in the ER where was the other one? I have worked in small hospitals in the same size...

  8. looking for opinions/advice.........

    WyomingRN replied to soulsearchin''s topic in General Nursing

    Go for it, you are not too old. Went back at the age of 35 to get my RN BSN. Took my pre nursing classes at the local community college and then went to the closest nursing school to get my degree....

  9. Nurses in Other Professions

    WyomingRN replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    Just for FYI; Wyoming is very spread out. A lot of business is done via fax-phone-e-mail. I didn't know their office was in the basement until I had already been working. Moreover, there are a lot...

  10. Nurses in Other Professions

    WyomingRN replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    Cannoli I didn't expect that question, but here goes -- The very first way agencies screw their nurses is by putting most of the money into their pocket, not giving it to the nurses. Here is an...

  11. Nurses in Other Professions

    WyomingRN replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    You need to watch the agencies really close too. They like to screw the nurses just as bad as the hospitals do. The majority of nurses that I know that work agency are getting screwed by them so...

  13. Job-hopping in nursing?

    WyomingRN replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    Yes you can freelance your way around the country without going agency. You can get paid what you are worth. In fact, by becoming autonomous, you will actually become more of a professional. In...

  14. Emphasis on caring or personal gain?

    WyomingRN replied to oregonvolunteer's topic in General Nursing

    First, it depends on whether it is a BSN or not. The purpose of going to college is to get a better job both regarding pay and respect. Did you encourage your kids to go to college? Why? So they...

  15. Nurses in Other Professions

    WyomingRN replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    Oh to be a student again skybirdrising. Let me tell you there is a vast difference between being a student and a staff nurse. You see things through rose colored glasses. The real world of being a...

  16. Nurses in Other Professions

    WyomingRN replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

    Sheep herding sounds better all the time instead of nursing. Just the sheep, dogs, horse, and me out in the wide open spaces. Now if I could only figure out a way to hitch solar panels to the top of...

  17. 14 Nurses Fired and 9 disciplined in Kentucky

    WyomingRN replied to nurseattorney's topic in General Nursing

    There's definitely a rat in the wood pile in Kentucky. Hope these nurses have good lawyers. Hopefully these nurses will file for wrongful termination complaint just as the others did. While we...
