    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Most nurses aren't going to make 100K+ w/o OT or a second job; it doesn't matter how competent they are unless they live in Cali or NYC, where the cost of living is quite high, and where commutes can...

    Congratulations. I started in telemetry. Man that was one wicked and wild floor, but there we had a pretty good team, and the mger wasn't a pita. It was a good experience, and I moved into critical...

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless, I wish you the best. How much more of school do you have, and are you completing a BSN? Do you have an idea as to the area in which you want to work? Also, is the hospital unionized? I...

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    For your reading pleasure: Yes, an I suppose my nurse colleagues and I have NOT regularly gone above and beyond. Way presumptuous. That strikes as well, honestly, arrogant that you would...

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the kind of law you practice and a number of other factors. Generally speaking, the harder you are willing to work, the greater potential for income. That goes too in nursing, but there...

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    No offense, but I have no idea what you are talking about. You are implying that many of us who have busted hump and continued education and regularly went the extra mile feel there is some imagined...

    You won't see this a lot in the hospital setting. Maybe in LTC, but not in

  10. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I strongly disagree. I know plenty of people in other fields with four year and graduate degrees. Their salary progression has been substantially more than 2% per year. It's at least in part, due to...

  11. Why is it okay for Doctors to yell at Nurses?

    Guest343211 replied to GlowBear500's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    'I'm not saying it never has happened, only that in 20 + years, it's been rare. To the poster that said they yell back, well, I disagree with that approach. It's counterproductive to yell out or...

  12. Why is it okay for Doctors to yell at Nurses?

    Guest343211 replied to GlowBear500's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been pretty fortunate. It's a very rare thing that a patient and/or family got crazy on me. It does happen, and you have to be professional--and understand that people that are seriously ill...

  13. Why is it okay for Doctors to yell at Nurses?

    Guest343211 replied to GlowBear500's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry you have had to go through that. There's probably a lot of stuff my subconscious mind has chosen to forget. It's been rare, by I have been on the receiving end of some really...

    I totally don't doubt you at all. Pink Ghetto. .. well, if I ever heard it, it didn't get stored into my memory banks. :) Seems like a silly term to me; but I look more at employees as either more...

  16. Why is it okay for Doctors to yell at Nurses?

    Guest343211 replied to GlowBear500's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my considerable time as a nurse, a doc yelling at me has been a very rare situation. I have also seen occasions where obnoxious nurses were yelling at other nurses, quite fiercely and loudly, in...

  17. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    NO. I don't think that is what is being said or done. Nurses aren't making 12K more per year. Eg., luck to get 2% per year, which doesn't keep up with costs; but at any rate, 2% of say $60,000 =...

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I'd have to to the statistical research on your latter point. But I do find the "pink ghetto" concept, well, amusing. Point well taken with re: to the turnover factor and trying to evolve as a...

    A. First, though it's kind of laughable, I am honey to only one person. LOL I don't think it is you. 2. That kind of turnaround is a factor, but I believe you are overstating it and its effect. Z....

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I don't know where you live, by no way most new grads that live in my tri-state area, which is really a high population, high tax area--are out earning teachers in public schools with Master's...

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    The way hiring is going for nurses in many places right now, you will be lucky if you get 18-24 hours. I clearly remember when we all worked 48 hours per week and greater, but mostly that was by...

  24. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    Guest343211 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I mean. In bigger scheme of things, it's really not that great of an income in terms of growth potential, unless you take one of the paths to which I previously referred. Many of those...
