  3. Pay rate is significantly higher...

    GM2RN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    I have thought the same thing about wasting time, but sometimes you just have to go through the process. Some interviewers are really put off by an interviewee asking about pay too early in the...

  4. Working night shift, spouse working night shift & kids

    GM2RN replied to misselena's topic in General Nursing

    Hire a nursing (or other college program) student that is willing to stay the night. He/she can make some extra money for doing homework and/or sleeping, and you won't have to pay a ton of money for...

    GM2RN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    For the online application, just put $1.00; they'll get the idea or figure it's a typo. I agree with your last comment. Let them talk as much as

  6. Pay rate is significantly higher...

    GM2RN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. Besides, her definition of "significantly higher" may differ "significantly" from yours, or mine. I also agree that it's way too early to discuss wages. And, by telling them what your current...

    GM2RN replied to mariposabella's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. do you get paid more for certifications?

    GM2RN replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've worked for 3 different union hospitals, all in the same region, but have never seen this done.

  12. Mandatory Overtime-- what do you think?

    GM2RN replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    I am union also. I can be mandated for 4 hours only (I work 12 hour shifts), and only once every 3 months. That's vastly different than being mandated daily or

  13. Mandatory Overtime-- what do you think?

    GM2RN replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    My thought exactly! The other thing that comes to mind is MALPRACTICE INSURANCE, as in get your own if you don't already have it. Forcing you to work under those conditions could cause a...

  15. Am I selfish for going back to school?

    GM2RN replied to nancypants's topic in General Nursing

    It's been my experience that those who post a question like yours don't really care whether or not it is selfish, they just want support from those who will tell them to do what they want to do. If...

  16. Somthing needs to change. Is agency nursing for me?

    GM2RN replied to gaylordfocker2002's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to working PRN for your current employer, you might potentially have 2 or more PRN jobs to ensure that you get the hours you need and still have more control over your schedule. Of...

    GM2RN replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    GM2RN replied to atlwright's topic in General Nursing

    It's water under the bridge now, but I would at least have consulted with an attorney without them knowing. I have no idea what options you may have

  22. do you get paid more for certifications?

    GM2RN replied to jennifers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Agree with above. The hospital pays for us to take ACLS, TNCC, ENPC, etc., but we don't get paid any more per hour for taking them. We do get an extra $500 per year for passing the CEN

    GM2RN replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    My feelings about your replies are torn. I can appreciate that you want to provide for your family. I graduated at 49 with a family to support and went back to school when I had rent and other bills...
