  1. First big nursing mistake....need some support

    sassijac replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you made that mistake now, early in your career, especially since there wasn't a bad outcome to the patient. You needed to know that you don't walk on water, that you're just like the rest...

  2. union pro or con

    sassijac replied to mark3274's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    In my 40 + year career as an RN I worked half time in both union and non union hospitals. My most recent and longest stint in one hospital system was in a union and I enjoyed it the most for these...

  3. Los Angeles vs. NYC

    sassijac replied to dmaster's topic in New York Nursing

    The pay sounds awfully low for NYC. When I left the City to move to northern CA in 1984 I was earning almost half that amount for 3X12 hr nights in the ED. Why not try a travel nurse position to see...

    sassijac replied to CT Pixie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Never ironed them.........wore the cotton-synthetic mix that comes out wrinkle free from the dryer. I'd never wear wrinkled ones unless I had to replace the one I wore to work because of accidental...

  7. Awkward Situation

    sassijac replied to Lily C.'s topic in General Nursing

    I think you handled it very well. He was acting normally (unless that's what he does 10X a day). I wouldn't bring the subject up with him unless it's relevant to his plan of care. And do wash hands...

  8. Advice Needed on dealing with my Charge Nurse PLEASE!

    sassijac replied to Italia13 RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a former ED nurse (20 yrs) who did charge for at least 8 of those years. I worked in a unionized state (CA ) where the CNA was able to get mandatory nurse patient ratios in place for patient...

  9. Question Regarding To Compact States--Declare State of Residence?

    sassijac replied to lpn2icu's topic in General Nursing

    What about Travel Nurses who go from state to state and are licensed wherever they

  10. Tell me about your shifts, I'm curious!

    sassijac replied to harborview's topic in General Nursing

    I worked a variety of schedules in many different hospitals and specialties, mostly in NYC, NJ and northern CA. I usually preferred 12 hr nights because of a long commute and child care when the...
