I have found that the quality of cna's has really gone down the tubes and that only a small minority are good efficient workers. As to their pay being too low I disagree. They are basicly unskilled workers and if they have the ability they can increa...

That is a sad story and certainly not the story of the majority of nurses. I went to St Francis Medical Center School of Nursing a little while after graduating I started working there. I had previously worked there before I got my license as an orde...

I would much rather work 8 hour shifts but there are very few around any more. I was working 7 12 hour shifts every 2 weeks but management lowered it to six because of the over time..4 hours what a joke

One day when I was working on a step down unit as a fairly new nurse I was doing an overtime shift. I was in the assignment area and the pm supervisor called me and an agency nurse. He said to me go to ICU, you are in charge and the agency nurse is w...

A lot of getting a job depends on being in the right place and the right time. You also have to be able to sell yourself to the interviewer as the person they are looking for. I would recomend you start reading some of the self help books on salesman...

I do not like 12 hour shifts. I work nites and only have energy to sleep on my days off. We work 7 days over 2 weeks and it wears me out.

I have worked in nursing and in sales for most of my life and I have learned to never show anything that might upset or offend your client. This includes my tatoos, I always wear long sleeves which in nursing is a good idea anyway. I always am clean ...

There are many people practicing illegally and this matter should be brought to the attention of management and the Boards. It is a red flag that you found so many.

It is unfortunate you got into that position. I would take steps to make sure that it did not happen again.

I guess I have missed out on something in life. In my fifty adult years I have worked in all areas of many cities and rural locations and never felt the need to carry a firearm. This includes many jobs where all the work was done in the worst areas o...

As far as I know firearms have only one use and are designed to cause injury of varying degree. People and the other items you speak of are used for many different and positive things the majority of the time.

I work as a nite supervisor/case manager with title nurse consultant. I get salary of 50k, no overtime and am expectect to worik about 84 hours a 2 week pay period. Since there is no chance of pay increase I do only the minimum possible and do not go...

It is sad when nursing comes down to accounting. I work on salary now as an RN nurse consultant for a charitable organization. They are very skimpy and try to get as much work as possible for as little pay as possible. They often try to sneak in taki...

and you never know when your best friend or relative is going to go craz

Interesting opinion for a nurse.

I would think that you could have gotten a higher stariting rate in 2013. I would keep my eyes and ears open and start job shopping./

When I have an emergency I call the np direct you have their number if you have been texting them.

I have never encountered one of my patients outside of work who had anything but gratitude for the services I had provided for them or a loved one.

A friend of mine at work had told me about the dnp and apparently it is closer than you think. I am grateful that I was able to be a nurse when I did and am still able to practice as an RN. I am curious as to what the future will bring.

We are forced to work 12 hour shifts due to the non profit religious organization cutting down the number of nurses way below need. In additon we were put on salary and if you work less than 40 hours in a week of a 2 week pay period we get docked des...

I do not carry a weapon. I have no problem with people who choose to doing so. I do believe they should be criminally and civilly liable for any crime that is committed with a weapon they own. The only times in my life I have been threatened by weapo...

Pt care is not a war requiuring victories. We attempt to provide services to maintain and preserve health. Some people are more compliant than others. There is an apropriate speed to push any medication and lenthening it for personal satisfaction is ...

Customer service is something many nurses dont really grasp. Once you get on the wrong foot with anyone in any business it is very dificult to turn it around. As far as going ama, I would not try to stop anyone or threaten them with loss of insurance...

It is sad to see that so many nurses seem to have a need to carry guns when their purpose is the opposite of what our mission is. It is unfortunate that the NRA has been able to brainwash so many people. I guess it is my problem to have been brought ...

I dont feel the need to carry a weapon. In many occasions you would not have the time to use it. In other cases it may be used against you. Many firearms owners seem to be careless in the handling of their weapons and the fewer around the happier I a...
