  1. Update and HELP!

    My husband was a high-level corporate type for many years. He's always told me to NEVER accept a counter offer given by your employer when you give notice. If it's about $$ and they offer you more,...
  2. Staffing

    That's nonsense. Our 2-RN minimum comes from our written policy. If your managers truly do not understand such a basic need, then I think you're hosed. (and they're idiots) Personally, if I showed up...
  3. How long should I stay at my first nursing job?

    You will be pleasantly surprised later on at how much your current experiences add to your growth as a new RN. I DETESTED my 3 years of Med/Surg, to the point of developing an anxiety disorder. Yet...
  4. My Fibro

    LOL! (lips sealed shut and fingers taped
  5. Didnt pass boards before deadline

    I would imagine that taking a refresher course would be a good thing,
  6. GoFundMe Thoughts?

    No, that's a false reading of the situation. There is no "should" donate. It's "may" donate if so
  7. My Fibro

    I was leaning toward a little of that feeling until a very well-educated, highly regarded professional that I know was diagnosed with fibro by the Mayo Clinic. I then began to try to be a little more...
  8. My Fibro

    SERIOUSLY?! You folks are reading way too much between the lines and constructing meanings and attitudes that simply are not present. A little defensive,
  9. My Fibro

    Please show us the post in which someone was laughing at dis-empowered, vulnerable folks. I for one thought that the CCRN2BE's reponse was very carefully and thoughtfully written. And I thought that...
  10. Going back to work!!!

    No need to be defensive. No one is denigrating you for staying home to raise your child. They are just explaining the reality of the current job
  11. Horrible Charge Nurse

    Unless you (a) can list concrete, specific, against-the-rules actions by the charge nurse, and (b) are willing to document and officially file a complaint, you might as well just learn to live with...
  12. Online Nursing Schools?

    A quick way to get a whole lot of answers on this topic is to use the blue search button on the top right of this page. There are TONS of threads discussing this subject. Sometimes when a subject...
  13. I have no idea since I don't know what or where Inova health system is. However, I would advise your friend to do a third think. If the "team is great and she loves working there," she should really...
  14. Moving to USA advice!!

    I have seen UK nurses come to the conclusion/realization that taking an entire nursing course in the US would get them licensed faster than trying to find ways/facilities to make up clinical and...

    I guess going to the source for the correct information was the right thing to
  16. 36 hours is only part time??

  17. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    A bad wrap? As in a spoiled
  18. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Oh no! I just enjoyed the misspelling. And croonie sounds like something fun to be. Maybe an old standards singer who tells jokes: crooner +
  19. Can an RN (not APRN) practice independently?

    It's definitely a possibility that I am wrong, but the last I knew, RN's could not bill for their services. A school nurse, while working independently, would be an employee of the school system. So,...
  20. advice? asked to go home during shift

    Is it possible that you're coming across as cocky and perhaps too quick to take on
  21. GoFundMe Thoughts?

    Definitely no need to apologize. Just wanted to save you the trouble of looking since I knew exactly where to find
  22. GoFundMe Thoughts?

    Just one recent example: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/crowd-funding-yay-958412.html 11 pages of

  24. You will all probably hate me for this

    I do believe that this is a bit of an all-inclusive exaggeration, but I will ask you (since this is your honest perception): Does it really matter how anonymous folks respond to a particular post?...
  25. You will all probably hate me for this

    Honestly? When someone has corrected my spelling or grammar here, I have been appreciative. It means a lot to me to speak/write appropriately and correctly. I want my public perception, whether in...
