On a side note, what is an "exclusive contract"? Meaning what you promise not to work with another company within so much time? I am considering Supplemental Healthcare. Out of everyone I talked to they seem to have the most take home pay..not sure. ...

Thats a joke!!!! Psych or not! I cant believe they would even insult you with that offer. I didnt read the replies or see how long ago this was posted, I just stopped short at the wage.Crazy.

It never gets better either. Ive all but given up. This career sucks. The doctors, the cattiness, the long hours, the horrible patients...its terrible. I owe a ton of money for nursing school and wish to God I had picked something else. I dont recomm...

I believe nurses eat their young yes...why because they are women. Plain and simple. I have met the cattiest, nastiest, back stabbing women in the world in this profession. NOT ALL...I dont mean all but it is the reason I dont like being a nurse hone...

I am now in orientation after a long hard job search. I worked agency to give me income because I could not get on staff anywhere...in 3 states! I was an LPN for almost 7 years, worked in all 3 states also. Have extensive experience in med surg,telem...

My kids are grown and I am not a "kid" person...I know that sounds mean...but its true. I love my boys more than the world but I do not want to hear about the wonderful witty things your 2 year old said while he was going potty or how many outfits y...

Im licensed in Pa, Fl and Sc. Sc being part of the compact but my license also only says for the state of Sc. I was told once I apply for my renewal it will be a compact. Not sure though.

Well, I am sitting here waiting to go to my pre-employment physical....Isnt it amazing how we as nurses are expected not to experience any kind of pain or anxiety???? I have a valid perscription for vicodin. I also have one for tramadol. Ive had them...

Im back in school. Just started yesterday and not real sure im liking it, at all. Ive never done online. Has anyone else ever attended UOP for their BSN or MSN? Positive, negatives of it? Im thinking of switching ...not sure what to do but the classe...

Hi. I started as an LPN almost 8 years ago and they said they were doing away with them at that time. They were going to use medical assistants. Never happened. Im an RN now and sometimes find it harder to work agency as an RN than it was as an LPN. ...

How about when I was an LPN and was ask when I would become a "REAL NURSE". I replied, I am a REAL NURSE....."oh, I thought RN meant REAL NURSE and LPN stood for LESS PAPERWORK NURSE"....really?????

I work for Cynamed Healthcare solutions in Pa, I am agency. I work at a local hospital my pay is $32.00 an hour. I worked for an Agency in Charleston SC before i came here and was making 33.50 an hour.

Ive been riding all my life. I own a Harley and a VStar. It gives me a sense of freedom that cant be explained. After working long hours and wanting to rip my hair out, a bike ride relaxes me a great deal. A lot of things can kill you. If you arent s...

Kudos, I agree, if nurses do not unite, they will keep telling us we need experience to get experience, they will pay us what they want and we cant do anything about it. They will hit us with cut backs, down sizing etc and leave us with no where to g...

I just posted a thread for the same thing. Its bull crap that they claim nursing shortage but wont hire those of us ready to work. Really, someone NEEDS to do something about this!

Honestly, and I dont mean to sound snide AT ALL but...be glad your getting trained and your in the hospital. There are many of us that CANT GET IN THE DOOR with years of experience as an LPN. Now as for being an LPN, I was one for 7 years and can run...

Okay, tell me how this works....when your an LPN, they tell you to go back to school for your RN, better money, job security etc....so now im an RN. Im licensed in Pa, SC, and Fl. I work agency. Been in a variety of different settings. I work LTC, ho...

OK, WHAT THE HECK. Quick results on Pearson vue show up in 48 hours...from what time you were scheduled or done becuz i just tried to get it and it still stays not available! GRRRRRR. Going to pull out my hair. This is torture!

I am proud that i finished my RN up. It was a long road, as many of us know, with kids and life, pursuing any schooling is never easy. But with that said, I will never regret the path i choose.I believe it has helped me greatly. I will also ALWAYS re...

Ok, I did the trick too, over and over. Got the same"good " pop up.Which makes me hopeful but thats all that makes me optomistic. It was freaking HARD! I only had two questions that I knew the answer for. The SATA were killing me! I only got one math...
