  1. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My situation and your situation is two completely different things. I live at home with my parents who support me so while I am desperate, I did have the luxury of saying that I'm going to turn the...

  2. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't care what you find arrogant. You don't know me and you are a faceless person on the internet. I spoke to my peers and even nurses with up to 30 years experience and they all said the...

  3. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

    laynaER replied to AZO49008's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ehh I think people should wear what they want. Sure it may look a little funny wearing cartoon scrubs on an adult unit, but at the end of the day as long as you're getting your job done that's all...

  4. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    There is a thread ongoing discussing nursing salary and whether it is crap or not lol but I will respond here. This is all depending on where you live. New grads in my area start out at $74,000/yr and...

  5. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, you are getting under my skin because every freaking post I make, you come and you put your little snarky, smart a** comments. You made another thread and I responded professionally and in an...

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live, we get BSN differential. It's not much at all (1500-2000) but there is still a differential. And I know the pay offers are negotiable but she tried to offer me less and I refused. Then...

  8. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry but nursing home experience doesn't count as experience where I live. They pretty much still consider you a new grad because it isn't acute care. Believe me, even if they offered me $30/hr which...

  9. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I COMPLETELY RESENT THAT STATEMENT. Just because I am a new grad does NOT mean I am completely useless and have no right to ask to be paid what I am worth. I told everybody who would listen about the...

  11. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    $20/hr is nothing where I live. An agency wanted to pay me $20/hr to work in a nursing home all just because I was a new grad. Needless to say I turned it down. Sorry no offense to anyone here but if...

  12. New Grad, needs help getting a job at NY presbyterian!!! help

    laynaER replied to Sweetiie17's topic in New York Nursing

    Another thing I want to add is that its not that some of the popular hospitals are discriminating against ADNs its that some of magnet status (I know Mt Sinai does) and in order to retain that magnet...

  13. Help: Interview Tips

    laynaER posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello my fellow nurses, I just wanted to get some feedback from any nurse managers here or even some staff nurses and charge nurses (especially those that interview people for positions). I was...

  14. Call offs. I love getting the phone call, hate getting the paycheck

    laynaER replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I need to win the lottery too :-( We can't have our cake and it eat it too, unfortunately. Feels nice to stay home and when we look at our check or lack thereof it's such a kick in the gut! Why do...

    laynaER replied to Sweetiie17's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not trying to be hard on you like the first poster but it really is tough here. I keep seeing people saying they're moving to NYC and I keep shaking my head like why? I understand your situation's...

  18. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but I don't see where I said that "getting into nursing because it makes good money, considering the education required, and it's more recession-proof than most other professions" is the...

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My hairdresser was telling me about a guy she met who said "I'm going for nursing. They make mad money. I'm only doing it for the money I could care less patients and caring about people they have too...

  20. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Guess this depends on where you live as well. I know lots of staff RNs who are not in management that make 100K...they are being paid for their years of experience. Lots of them make 100K because they...

  21. how old were you when you realized you weren't going to make real money as a nurse

    laynaER replied to pilotstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    $35-39/hr? I guess it depends on where you live. Where I live new grads starting salary is $38/hr. The new grads that do perdiem work get $45-$8/hr. I pretty much agree with everyone else. I really...

  22. Do Hospitals Ever Post Jobs That They Don't Plan to Fill?

    laynaER replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    I read on this website a post posted by a member and he/she stated that a lot of the times the employers already have in mind who they want for the position whether it be an employee from within or...

  23. Job Market/ICU Job Market

    laynaER replied to bridgfor428's topic in New York Nursing

    Yea the market was wayyy better a few years ago. A few years ago you could just walk into your hospital of choice and be practically interviewed and hired on the spot new grad or not. Back then they...

    laynaER replied to bridgfor428's topic in New York Nursing

    There are a lot of threads similar to this if you do a search of new york job market there's tons. The job market is horrific in all 5 boroughs especially for new grads and those with little...
