RN94

I live in MA and we are about to vote whether to pass a safe staffing law. Nurses are so divided. The vote "no" people have been saying it didn't work in CA. I just wondered if that's true? Can anyone give me some feedback? Thank you.

Thank you so much for your quick response. Another concern is that most of the people including that manager have now moved on. I don't know many people that are there now and don't know who to reach out to for reference purposes. Thanks again.

I'm going to try to keep this short. I have been a nurse for almost 24 years. Worked at one hospital my whole career. I was at the top of the pay scale which I really do feel made a difference on how things went down. Suddenly I found everything I di...

Thank you so much for your feedback. I am just worried because I resigned only because I was about to be terminated. So, it was because I did not want to be walked out of the building. That would have been humiliating. So, I resigned last minute. ...

I know this post was from over 2 years ago but I'm just seeing it now and would like to know what state you work in?

what state is this?

What state do you work in?

although this post was over 3 years ago, I was hoping you could tell me what agency this is for? I live in the Boston area and am looking to work for a diffierent agency.

I realize your post was from 2 years ago, but would you mind telling me who what agency you were/are with. I'm in the Boston area and I'm looking to work for a different agency. Thank you.

Hi, I know this post is from several years ago, but I'm curious to know what agency you work/worked for? I work in the Boston area and just went per diem or per visit and it's only $35 per revisit and not sure about the rest but don't think it's as ...

Anyone have any advice regarding med management? My toughest patients are the ones that are forgetful due to dementia and either don't take their medications at all or miss some days etc.... My boss and one of the NP's I work with recommend getting...

Wow, that's great! So, you are making a decent living there? a little ahead of the game?

Libby 1987 RN, BSN -What state do you live in that you can make that much at home care? Are you working more than 40 hours per week?

I want to try to keep this brief because I don't want anyone to lose interest and not answer. I'm not a manager but I really need help from some of you who are managers. I was at the same acute care inpatient hospital job for the last 20 years. I ...

Thank You. I'm going to do home care for now. The pay is almost half of what I was making, but it is a job. So, you mean you got a job as a manager outside the healthcare field? Thanks for replying to my post. I hope I can share a success story w...

Thank you so much! I needed to hear that. I hope you're right.

I really appreciate your feedback. Everything you said is what I figured. I'm just nervous about the "not eligible for rehire". That kind of says it all. I would think any hiring manager would not need details after that. I mean, if someone is no...

I have been working at the same hospital for 20 years as a pediatric nurse and was terminated 2 weeks ago for a med error. Anyone out there have a similar experience happen and go on to get a good job? Any advice on what to do?? I'm devastated! I ha...

There is more of a back story but I was just trying to keep it short. I made three med errors in a short period of time. I got written up for each one. 2 of them had to do with not following proper protocol and one involved a patient receiving the ...

Thanks. I am looking into home care especially since that's where I started my career. I of course will be willing to take any job right now, but home care does not pay well. I'm wondering if I can ever recover and go back to making anywhere close ...

Where do you live and how much is hand over fist?

:wink2: Can anyone please tell me what the going rate is for both home health shift work and per visit? I really need to get out of my hospital job! I need to find out if I can survive on a home health salary. I would really appreciate any info you c...

Thanks for replying. I'm just kind of stuck and don't know what to do. I've been a nurse for 15yrs - I'm making $47/hr as a staff RN on a pedi floor, which is great but I hate that I can't get a day off when I need it. I'm working holidays and eve...
