  2. HHC Woodhull Hospital RNs?

    HangInThere replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi Bklyn RN. How's your position at Woodhull, if you are still there? Just found your post, and Woodhull is a 15 min drive from home for me. Just wondering how you're finding it.

    HangInThere replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Men in Nursing

    You are right, NurseLoveJoy, and I apologize. Though I did read your post, I forgot that your subject line was a quote from someone else. I'm sorry for the

    It seems everyone forgets that we humans all genetically 99.9% the same as each other. And, there are laws against harassment and discrimination because of sexual orientation ... 'cause it's just...

    Is there any truth to the rumor that Professor Greene failed 69 out of 80 students last

    I don't know, but wouldn't it be great to see a Gay Pride Parade where everyone dressed as they dress for their job? Nurses, carpenters, sanitation workers, stock brokers, politicians, chefs, research...

  8. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    HangInThere replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I see your point, April, though the whole concept of a salaried "internship" for nurses is a new concept, isn't it? Also, you wrote, "Thousands of nurses who work there are happy without a union." How...

  9. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    HangInThere replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I can see both sides, being on the outside of it (and having a job that's keeping me afloat while I'm going to school part-time). Anyone, in any field, might dread the possibility that new hires will...

    HangInThere replied to nyteshade's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Would things be better for patients and nurses if the profiteers (the corporations and the insurance companies) were pulled out of health care

  11. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    HangInThere replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Kartia911, Congrats! Now the hard part is making the decision to go for it, right? Sometimes it helps to break down some figures. If the hourly is $11.44, then that's about $1,830/month gross, at 40...

  13. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    HangInThere replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    What sites do you recommend for background checks? That is such good advice!

  14. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    HangInThere replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    Oh, and smart students intimidate insecure teachers. It's a good lesson to learn before going on the job because smart nurses intimidate insecure supervisors. But we all have to get

  15. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    HangInThere replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    Your teacher is sending a message across to the class. By disrespecting you and treating you unfairly, she is telling the rest of the class that she is the one in power. She feels disrespected by...

    HangInThere replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Wow. Hot topic! If I applied for this internship, I would like to know more about it to see if it is fair. Questions I would ask: 1) What will be the ratio of interns to preceptor (or "staff advisor,"...

    HangInThere replied to kroyce's topic in General Students

    I already love that special older dog you want to adopt, and think a dog can be very grounding during stressful times and good company when you're so far from family. But, like other posters, the...

  18. Do you actually READ your nursing books or just skim?

    HangInThere replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    My Foundations class used the Chirstensen Foundations book, which is a poorly written and terribly organized textbook. And, unfortunately, my teacher wasn't a big help. All the students in my class...

  19. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    HangInThere replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    Before I went to LPN school, I had no idea I was a "morning person!" I'd wake up at 6am, ready to study from my books and notes. Weird. I guess I liked the information in my classes. I could get 90...
