  1. Asking pay rate before being offered the job...

    2BSure replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    I just read a post by someone giving advice on interviews who said DO NOT do this. I have read that a number of times on this site and heard colleagues say

  2. Is anyone familiar with the hiring process at Jackson Memorial Hospital

    2BSure replied to notsosupernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why oh why are facilities so vague about money? This recruiter is responsible for managing the relationship with the facility and having information about positions including pay. As the others have...

  3. 3 year contract?

    2BSure replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like you haven't even seen this contract. Have you? If not you certainly can say that "In principal, I have no objection to a three year contract" then ask them if they are making you...

  5. Survey: Do you think nurses are portrayed positively in the media?

    2BSure replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Look, even my family didn't "get" that nurses weren't handmaidens until I spent 4 weeks in a hospital. My brother was all "OMG I can't believe how well educated and responsive your nurses were in...

  6. What's the dumbest remark you've heard yourself make...

    2BSure replied to KidsRNstill's topic in General Nursing

    We had a student once who for somereason did not seem to know why her patient was in hospital. Anyhoo she asks the guy "what are you in for?" The guy replies "cancer". The student says "OMG I am...

  7. What's the dumbest remark you've heard yourself make...

    2BSure replied to KidsRNstill's topic in General Nursing

    That's OK it was the first thing a nurse looking after me in ICU said to me when I became conscious. If I hadn't a tube down my throat I would have

  8. Vent!! Why do families think nurses know all about insurance coverage?

    2BSure replied to txredheadnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I know you just wanted to vent but.... Doesn't your place have social workers/ patient advocates etc. etc.? Also, I will say that for some people $20 - $30 bucks a month in co-pays can be a crippling...

  9. 3 year contract?

    2BSure replied to RNMariposa's topic in General Nursing

    Um most important read the contract. What, apart from the job itself, are the benefits to YOU for signing a three year contract? Sign on bonus or something? If you are sending out lots of resumes,...

  10. Anyone ever been recognized on AN ?

    2BSure replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    I think when we work closely with others they could probably pick up on sayings that we use and such. Maybe we should have a don't ask -- don't

    2BSure replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly!

  12. Do you always state that you are a nurse?

    2BSure replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    My GI doc did something like that with me (his nurse knew me and told him) -- I am not a student so he did not quiz me. I have to say that he spoke to me more professionally than some doctors I work...

  13. Top interview ways to NOT get the job (New Grad RN)

    2BSure replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    Some people just SHOULD NOT be allowed to interview. Of course, they probably gave a great insight into the culture of the place, which sounds dreadful. As for this "smile more" stuff it makes me a...

  14. Asking pay rate before being offered the job...

    2BSure replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    Also, it would be just awful to go through a bunch of interviews with someplace only to find out they paid badly. Historically I have always asked when I was the interviewee and it never impacted me...

  15. Anyone ever been recognized on AN ?

    2BSure replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    That would be funny (well maybe not) if you were someone who posted to the "things you'd like to say to a patient" thread. There is one person who I think works in my dept on a different shift. I...

  19. An abusive nurse husband

    2BSure replied to urfoxyrn's topic in General Nursing

    If there are formal charges, of which he is found guilty, it would be kicked to the BON anyway. As someone who was in a really violent relationship once upon a time -- I suggest that she NOT take it...

  20. Pre-nursing Students, CNA's, Current Nurses.....

    2BSure replied to Definingmyfuture's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I think it is quite healthy to be a bit

  21. Pre-nursing Students, CNA's, Current Nurses.....

    2BSure replied to Definingmyfuture's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if you might benefit from volunteering at a hospital for a little while. Some ER depts. have volunteers -- mine is just getting a program together for that. Maybe work as a CNA. The...

  22. My First Clinical Deficiency (Long)

    2BSure replied to WeirdNurseKelly's topic in General Students

    I don't even know you but I am extremely proud of you. Yes you made an error but to have owned up to it quickly a mistake is 100 percent the right thing to do and you seemed to have no reservation in...

    2BSure replied to chicookie's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely

  24. Stalked and Tackled: The chicookie story

    2BSure replied to chicookie's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh I am so glad you are OK. I agree it raises a red flag. This is an excellent reminder that we all need to keep our wits about us. I was mugged years ago and I didn't hear them come up on me...
