  1. Any bedside nurses making over 100K ?

    Sheri257 replied to EveMJRN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to own some rental units but, not anymore and I won't do it again. There's a lot of downside. Tenants can skip out on rent or trash the property. It can be a big hassle. One bad tenant can...

  2. do physical therapists make more money than RNs?

    Sheri257 replied to nurse~ashley's topic in General Nursing

    Nationwide PT's make about $8K more, on average, than RN's. http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#b29-0000 However, it also varies by region. In California, for example, PT's and RN's make about...

  3. Union upset nursing assistants are sent home or told to not work

    Sheri257 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Another article on the suicide and staffing cuts ... http://www.pe.com/localnews/inland/stories/PE_News_Local_H_hospital02.1ed9fdd.html The level of care for Golz and the other patient was...

  4. Union upset nursing assistants are sent home or told to not work

    Sheri257 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A patient at this same hospital committed suicide at the hospital on Monday ... he jumped from the fifth floor....

  5. How many Pt do you take care of?

    Sheri257 replied to Franlpntorn's topic in General Nursing

    I can't either. It's really shocking. I am forever grateful for California's ratio law.

  6. Union upset nursing assistants are sent home or told to not work

    Sheri257 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is obvious retaliation for the strike vote, where the RN's have been voting to strike at other HCA facilities in California as well. It's simply absurd that you wouldn't need 20-25 aides on any...

  7. eating our young?

    Sheri257 replied to happytobehere's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Good point.

  8. pain and sore muscles from studying!!!

    Sheri257 replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Students

    I notice that if I exercise first thing in the AM, I tend to get less muscle atrophy, back problems, etc. from studying the rest of the day.

  9. Best Places to Live - Forbes and Inc Report question...

    Sheri257 replied to DeepNurse's topic in California Nursing

    This is what I would recommend: pick the best job you can find, rent an apartment and/or house nearby, and go check out these places first hand on weekend road trips. That's what my husband and I did...

  10. eating our young?

    Sheri257 replied to happytobehere's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I say this a soon to be new grad .... but I've never understood where the: "eating their young" expression comes from. It's not like RN's choose have the responsibility of training new grads or...

  11. Describe your mental health rotation

    Sheri257 replied to Mabel 29's topic in General Students

    I LOVED my psych rotation, mostly because it was in a criminal psych facility. It was fascinating, and dangerous ... an RN got stabbed one night before we came in ... and the facility was on high...

  12. Nursing union targets Texas

    Sheri257 replied to mark hamel's topic in Texas Nursing

    I seriously doubt that one strip club going union in San Fran is going to have a negative impact on the image of nursing ... I'll throw in with working strippers

  13. Hypoxic drive?

    Sheri257 replied to lyallch's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that was the problem with this COPD patient. The sats were hovering at about 88 percent, which is normal for a COPD patient but, there was an order (not from a pulmonologist) to keep them at 92....

  14. Nursing union targets Texas

    Sheri257 replied to mark hamel's topic in Texas Nursing

    But it's also about pay raises. The average union worker makes $9K more than their non-union counterpart. The average union RN makes $6K more than non-union RN's. My husband pays $700 a year in SEIU...

  15. Hypoxic drive?

    Sheri257 replied to lyallch's topic in General Nursing

    COPD patient was hospitalized for incredibly high CO2 levels and, once she was somewhat stable and off the BiPAP machine, the more O2 you gave her, the more her sats eventually dropped to the low '80s...

  16. Nursing union targets Texas

    Sheri257 replied to mark hamel's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah ... this is pretty stupid on the union's part. Their argument is that illegals bring down wages and benefits and, making them legal will help eliminate this problem. Of course, this doesn't apply...

  17. SoCal Registered Nurse ADN Starting Rate

    Sheri257 replied to narcissistic's topic in California Nursing

    First of all ... southern california is a huge region so, you've got to be more specific as far as which area you're interested in. Are we talking about LA, San Diego, Orange County, Inland Empire ......

  18. Marriage and Nursing school ?

    Sheri257 replied to whatmaters's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Whoah ... those are horrible odds. I can't say I'm familiar with the love life of everybody in my class but, I don't think over 90 percent have had breakups. Most of the older students who've been...

  19. SoCal Vs. Nth Cal Salary?

    Sheri257 replied to ER4U2's topic in California Nursing

    Average pay in the Bay Area is higher ... averaging $38 to $42 an hour. Southern California is lower ... more like $32 an hour but, of course, it depends on the area. However, house will cost you...

  20. Millionaires on nursing salaries

    Sheri257 replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just my opinion but ... if I ever get back into real estate again, there's two things I won't do: tenants and condos. No matter how well you screen applicants, there's always that one tenant who...

  21. Millionaires on nursing salaries

    Sheri257 replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. This article was based on U.S. Census figures for the top 20 towns in terms of greatest percentage of growth. My area is one of them....

  22. Millionaires on nursing salaries

    Sheri257 replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the trick is ... what's up and coming today may not be up and coming tomorrow. I was just reading a real estate article that talked about the 20 largest growing boom towns as far as population...

  23. Group One

    Sheri257 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    By the same token, we could speculate that the people who think they got their Group One files "fixed" actually didn't ... if all of this is covert. I'm not sure it's helpful to speculate beyond what...

  24. Group One

    Sheri257 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't dismiss the possibility of it happening elsewhere but, as Sunnyjohn pointed out ... they were notified because that's what the law requires. If it is happening elsewhere, wouldn't we hear...

  25. Group One

    Sheri257 replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah ... I've heard of contingency. I mentioned it in my post. Your post didn't mention if this attorney is taking cases on contingency or not. As I previously mentioned, it's a very difficult thing...
