  1. Nurses with tattoos, is it acceptable?

    nicole109 replied to sweetlyn_violet's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 99.9999999999999999% positive that you will have NO problem at all, and if you do, it will be in nursing school, not at work. Most instructors that I had gave people a hard time for visible ones,...

  2. Can anyone talk to me re: Stevenson RN-BSN online option?

    nicole109 replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The only thing that I felt was different between the online and face to face was the online discussions--where the teacher would post a question and all of the class would have to go online and post...

  3. Potential employer wants to talk to CURRENT boss as reference

    nicole109 replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I have always found this to be a standard that your potential employer will ask to speak with your current employer. I believe they can't discuss details, like FLArn stated, dates of employment and...

  4. Working 2 jobs... Is it worth it?

    nicole109 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's all in what you make it...I work 2 jobs, and have a 3rd one that I work 1-2 days per month. I work full time in a hospital (med surg) 36 hours a week and then I work home care, so it's...

  5. should i go for my bsn

    nicole109 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends on where you live and what the trend in that area is...I don't see RN with BSN getting paid more in Maryland where I live, we don't tend to use LPN in the hospital setting, and most...

  6. Can anyone talk to me re: Stevenson RN-BSN online option?

    nicole109 replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I got my BSN from there when it was called Villa Julie--and I think I have two takes on the school, I did the night/weekend option, so many of my classes were online, while I think they were...

  7. What to do when you've had it!

    nicole109 replied to MAISY, RN-ER's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be willing to bet that just about any nurse could write what you have just written and it's sad. I've only been a nurse for 4 years, and I already am looking for a career change. It's unfortunate,...

  8. How important is it to get a nurse tech job?

    nicole109 replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the first poster (sorry I forgot to look at your name ). But for anyone else that is reading this, the experience, if you can swing it of course that you will gain as a tech is...

  9. Do you actually wear gloves/gowns/masks ?

    nicole109 replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Nursing

    You are asking for an honest answer, I want to know how many of you wear PPE in the grocery store, or to the gym or send your children to school with PPE? These people do come from the community, and...

  10. Hospitals Near Waldorf

    nicole109 replied to Toph McGee's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hi torya--I think it's all in what you make it--I lived in 2 places when I commuted to Baltimore, first I lived in Prince Frederick, then in LaPlata...both times commuting to Bayview. Both equal...

  11. diff b/t johns hopkins hospital and johns hopkins bayview & ummc

    nicole109 replied to NYRN05's topic in Maryland Nursing

    At Bayview, holidays are paid at 150% of your base pay (you also get 8 hours of Holiday pay, that you can use at your leisure like vacation time), and there is also overtime, which is 150% of your...

  12. diff b/t johns hopkins hospital and johns hopkins bayview & ummc

    nicole109 replied to NYRN05's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I can't speak specifically to cardiac ICU--but I can give you general differences between Downtown Hopkins and Bayview. Bayview RN's are paid hourly, for the most part, we work either days or nights,...

  13. In what department do you not wipe the backside?

    nicole109 replied to mirgadia05's topic in General Nursing

    As so many others have already said, poop is poop, and as a nurse, you will come in contact with it; either in school or in your profession, at one time or another--you will experience it. On another...

  14. BrightStar Home Health Care- thoughts??

    nicole109 replied to Epona's topic in Home Health

    I think this company is very fishy! I applied to the agency near me, and went in for an interview...first of all, the owner wasn't even a nurse, he had no medical backround at all! That made me...

  15. Hospitals Near Waldorf

    nicole109 replied to Toph McGee's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Civista is in LaPlata (about 10 mins south of Waldorf), as other posters have mentioned. I spent the first 18 years of my life in LaPlata, and let me just say if both my legs were falling off--I would...
