    Why does Nursing put up with short staffing?

    Gennaver replied to elfinM's topic in General Nursing

    Then give those working off shifts a higher salary to start with, not nickles and dimes or dollars for shift differential. I think we are selling ourselves short, (then again I am not yet a nurse,...

    Gennaver replied to joeb1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why are RN's so fat!

    Gennaver replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Possibly some of the self-righteous replies in this thread are tainted with a little projection of self-dislike? Its just that it is absurd to think that "if I can do it, anyone can and if they don't...

    Why does Nursing put up with short staffing?

    Gennaver replied to elfinM's topic in General Nursing

    I have nothing to contribute to your question but, more questions to add. Why do nurses put up with shift and weekend diff and overtime and so on rather than to ask for an outright Salary? Just give...

    Why are RN's so fat!

    Gennaver replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I fully agree with you and am put off by "high horse" condenscension. Since when did it become appropriate to "shame" another person because of their weight? We would not shame our patients, why do...

    Why are RN's so fat!

    Gennaver replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that most all can do it, yet would like to temper what it is for me. For me it started with a genetic predisposition, (although after 40 all the women in my maternal family are over 200 lbs.)...

    Why are RN's so fat!

    Gennaver replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hello Nurse Mike, It makes sense that those 11 miles need not be consecutive but, spread over days. When I completed a recent marathon, (only jogged it) I doubt that I lost 2 pounds, (it was 26.2...

    Gennaver replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ha, I've read this question a couple of time on these forums... Is this like asking, "why do some RNs smoke?" or "why do some RNs drive above the speed limit?" or "why do some RNs run marathons, do...

    Gennaver replied to dm22's topic in Government, Military

    Gennaver replied to kmwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The only time I had to give baths while working a midnight shift I saved them until at least 6am. Ran my tail off for about an hour getting at least two in but, there is no way I would wake a...

    Waiver for weight management?

    Gennaver replied to Duncan3178's topic in Government, Military

    Not a recruiter at all but, I agree with Tanker, if you mention it on your Meps form and then clarify with the one on one with the physician they may not even request a waiver. If you make the tape...
