  1. Professional Insurance

    GM2RN replied to MrsMig's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of NRO and know nothing about it, but if you aren't getting the CS that you expect, perhaps you chose the wrong insurance company. Have you heard any personal stories where the...

  2. Any hiring bias towards new male nurse 50 years old?

    GM2RN replied to djdietz's topic in General Nursing

    I was 49 when I graduated in 2007. Some employers will discriminate based age, but others will appreciate the level of maturity of an "older" nurse. That said, there are some things you can do to...

  3. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    GM2RN replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'd just like to point out that "uninformed" and "ignorant" are synonyms, so they can't be at opposite ends of the

  4. First RN job & it's pay

    GM2RN replied to gardengal1's topic in Emergency

  6. Diversity

    GM2RN replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really? How in the world can anything be "obvious," "certain," and "blatant" based on a couple of paragraphs of second and third hand

  7. Suggestions--malpractice insurance

    GM2RN replied to ajt575s's topic in General Nursing

    I don't remember the exact dollar amount either but just over $100 sounds

  8. Diversity

    GM2RN replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP..."worrying" accomplishes nothing. You asked if a lack of diversity at a particular hospital is something to worry about, and you got many opinions. You obviously didn't like what you got, but it...

  11. What reason is used for call offs!

    GM2RN replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    "I have never called in sick." He could have said that he had never called in sick when he wasn't, but he

  12. What reason is used for call offs!

    GM2RN replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone who calls in is screwing over their co-workers. Sometimes people actually do get

    That's a sign of good

  14. How many of you have a BSN

    GM2RN replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    Yup...BSN

  15. Opportunity knocks...but should I get it while it's hot???

    GM2RN replied to hayhay12's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm...I don't see it really making much difference career wise if you are planning on an advanced degree anyway. You should probably make your decision based on how it will affect your finances and...

  16. Nursing now vs. then

    GM2RN replied to SweetheartRN's topic in General Nursing

    We could be working in the same ED. I am often in charge and having the same issues with a few folks right now. Thank God I have an understanding manager that backs me up when they complain to her...

  17. Nursing now vs. then

    GM2RN replied to SweetheartRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hoping to start a masters program in January. They only accept 12 per year and I won't know until if I'm accepted until after October 1. Good

  18. Nursing now vs. then

    GM2RN replied to SweetheartRN's topic in General Nursing

    Although I'm 53, nursing is a second career for me and I've only been a nurse for 4 years. Even though I wasn't a nurse 30 years ago, I can still relate to some of the concepts, like respect for...

  19. Help! Pre-employment nicotine test!

    GM2RN replied to noviceRN22's topic in General Nursing

    If these programs help individuals lose weight, quit smoking, control HTN, etc, then they are good for those people I guess, but I have to wonder how much money the company is actually saving if they...

    GM2RN replied to noviceRN22's topic in General Nursing

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

    I figured as much, but I wasn't sure if the OP knew that since she is a new nurse. That's the only reason I picked on that part of your post at

  22. helping a friend

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

    I couldn't agree with this more! The only thing I would pick at a little bit is whether or not an employer's insurance actually covers a nurse even at work. Even though I believe this is an important...

  23. 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

    Agreed, set the nursing bar high. As for private practices, and aside from the financial aspect, I would also like to know why MAs are considered good enough in place of nurses. As someone who has...

  24. helping a friend

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

    I can understand agree with both sides of this issue. It's true that you could potentially be sued if things go wrong which should make you cautious, but sometimes we have to do what our hearts tell...

  25. MSN student - what do you put on your resume?

    GM2RN replied to Sue Damones's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are either of these programs online? None of the ones in my area will let you take more than 3-4 years to complete the program. ETA: Can the program be completed in six years taking one class at a...
