Ok - Another thought - What type of education does she have? How many hours of floor experience? I don't approve of her behavior - but with the push to pull in nurses during the shortage - I have to wonder what kind of quality we as a profession ar...

To focus back on the issue at hand - the patient and her mother refused to leave and were angry that they were approached for discharge. I believe the physician handled the situation the best felt necessary. The patient was allowed to stay and was t...

I have been a nurse for a very long time. I am attending my Masters/ DNS courses now. Advise? Do not attempt a CNA (STNA) position if you want to possibly change to a nursing professional career. I suggest you speak to a representative at a loca...

it takes a good 6 months to become acclimated to a new position. you need to take time and breathe during your day. the position won't change - but you need to be in control of your time - not the position in control of you. it sounds as if you ha...

Thank-you for your support. I have also been looking at non-profit business in nursing............Any ideas out there to guide me?

What have you found out? I wrote to the PA depart of health and they were helpful, but still I am stuck.

Are you starting a registry and what kind if so? Or Are you researching a Nursing Agency?

We have a staffing agency and home health care. We are doing very well. We have been in business for a year and a half. I am pleased with the response. We staff 9 facilities at this time. :balloons:

IC nurses are not Agency nurses, there is a difference. I don't believe that you can compare the two. As in Suzanne4 post, we as an agency have a variety of skilled specialists available every shift.

I didn't miss your point. I suggest you do research with facilities. Agency rates are different because of what insurances are needed to cover employees. Agency's are not the money makers that most think they are. The rates made by agencies are di...

You have to approach each facility with a contract and have a pay figure in mind.....Agencies will not tell you what they are charging...It is against the business that they are creating. It would be silly for me to give you a figure so that you cou...
