  1. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    GM2RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    My memory isn't what it used to be, but I don't recall anyone up to this point saying anything of the

  2. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    GM2RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly what I was thinking when I read the post you replied

  3. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    GM2RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    You got it wrong. I don't know of a single person who despises anyone for needing help. It's when people abuse the help that they get that doesn't sit

  4. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    GM2RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I just gotta say, you have no idea what a person's circumstances are that caused them to need to take loans for school. If you are just out of high school and living at home, then yes, maybe it is...

  5. Should Healthcare Be Funded As A Basic Human Right?

    GM2RN replied to jayp's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's understandable that someone without insurance may not be able to pay an entire ER bill right away, but to never pay a dime is inexcusable for the vast majority of people. Do you have a cell phone...

  6. What can you tell me about Modesto, CA area?

    GM2RN replied to GM2RN's topic in California Nursing

    No, I didn't. Couldn't make the money work. Sorry I don't have any advice to

  7. Nursing: Then and Now

    GM2RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

  8. Clinical tidbits I wish someone would've told me.

    GM2RN replied to Mully's topic in MICU, SICU

    Very cool. I didn't know these

  9. Clinical tidbits I wish someone would've told me.

    GM2RN replied to Mully's topic in MICU, SICU

    That's interesting--why is that? I see this has already been answered.

  10. Is this common? The new face of the ED

    GM2RN replied to mariposa311's topic in Emergency

    You have the right to your opinion, but that doesn't make your opinion

  11. Is this common? The new face of the ED

    GM2RN replied to mariposa311's topic in Emergency

    It's not the espressing of experiences that I take issue with; it's the way it's expressed. Thinking people understand that one nurse's/person's (assuming that billybob is a nurse since nothing in...

  12. Is this common? The new face of the ED

    GM2RN replied to mariposa311's topic in Emergency

    This post is laughable and appears to be written to incite. That's all I can say and remain

  13. Is this common? The new face of the ED

    GM2RN replied to mariposa311's topic in Emergency

    I have worked in the ED almost 4 years and there are many times that I don't get any breaks let alone 30 miutes for lunch. We aren't required to clock out for lunch; the time is automatically...

  14. Slapped across the face by male patient

    GM2RN replied to noyesno's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Even if this is the case, it doesn't justify

  15. First RN job & it's pay

    GM2RN replied to Stephen.Stevens's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I absolutely agree with this. Even within the corporation that I work, each hospital has a different nursing union and starting pay for new nurses can be a $6/hr difference. I recently transferred...

  16. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    GM2RN replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ok, but regardless of the reason, which presumably is to get a higher quality nurse, don't you think that a higher gpa requirement is better than a lower

  17. What's REALLY with the hospitals using Magnet as a cover for wanting BSN only nurses?

    GM2RN replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What do you mean by this? I was required to graduate with a minimum of 3.3, which is a B- at my school. Don't you think that nurses should graduate with at least a 3.0 (which would have been a C for...

  18. Do I need Malpractice insurance?

    GM2RN replied to worf's topic in General Nursing

    There are many threads here where someone will post some type of scenario (ie: "Should I stay and honor my contract after only 2 months of employment or quit and take a new job that I really want?")...

  19. Charting Bloopers

    GM2RN replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

    We get this occasionally in the ER with computer charting. The docs have order sets to choose from and will sometimes forget to uncheck the urine pregnancy test for

  20. E.D nurses "set up to fail"

    GM2RN replied to nurs2012's topic in Emergency

    Altra, I thought the exact same thing when I read that post. If there were that many issues with that pt at the time of admission then the ED doc is seriously incompetent. On the other hand, I would...

  21. Nursing and smoking....can it hinder your career?

  22. why and how can people abuse the ER?

    GM2RN replied to esunada's topic in Emergency

    I was rushed to make my previous post and meant to say overestimated not underestimated. Maybe that confused you? If not, I don't get why you quoted my post since I am essentially agreeing with

  23. why and how can people abuse the ER?

    GM2RN replied to esunada's topic in Emergency

    I think your assessment of how many people would change their habits is underestimated and would go unnoticed by most facilities. People will not change their desire for the instant gratification of...

  24. NO, NO, NO!!

    GM2RN replied to PintheD's topic in General Nursing

    yadi87 - Wait until you've walked a few miles in the shoes of an experienced nurse. Right now you don't know what you don't

  25. New Nurses!

    GM2RN replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm, let's see...if both are clinically competent, I really wouldn't give a
