  4. Me too... I absolutely agree with you. I work for a larger institution but I'm a little off-set building near/next to them. We are a LTC/nursing home. When I ask nurses at the hospital, which is...
  5. Thanks for your response. Yes, I am considered an hourly employee. Yes, as well on the the PTO time -- we have plenty. As for myself, I never really call out ... but the other nurses do here and there...

  10. Thank you for your post and
  11. Great, thanks for this info. I will keep on looking and being hopefully on finding a shift that works for me... gonna be hard to turn down this 3-11/5 days a week that was looking very prospective on...
  12. I see some people saying this, but its so nice having 4 days off free to do whatever you want vs. 2. Once I'm up, dressed and ready, I'd rather just keep going and get it over with. Driving to work...
  13. Qualified New Grad RN, No one wants to hire!!!!!

    We hear you over here in New Jersey... we are all in the same boat. All going to LTC as getting a job in a hospital is just about impossible... I go out daily pounding the pavement and will keep on...

  16. Me too, felt the same way, I mean this journey has been so hard you don't expect a simple break like this trick... It's a Godsend! After reading thru all those messages for 2 hours or so I was like...
