    MJB2010 replied to sharon2012rn's topic in Emergency

    MJB2010 replied to Joni's Mom's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    MJB2010 replied to nursingisok's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    What is your issue with it? That she is an lvn? Apparently if she has the position it is allowed. Rather than focusing on her degree, maybe see if you can learn something from her. She must have a lot...

    There is a hospital in my area offering sign on bonuses, and the reason is that it s such an awful place to work. You have to sign a 1 year contract an get the bonus after a year. I know 8 people who...

  12. New Nurse New Mom - How do I get back to work?

    MJB2010 replied to illininurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it would be worthwhile to try to find a suitable daycare that offers "drop in" days. Once you have that lined up, start looking for a part time gig. The good thing about nursing is that you...

    MJB2010 replied to bkworm8it's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  17. The math doesn't add up

    MJB2010 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    With a staff meeting coming up I am so tempted to use this thread for reference. When they tell us all the new tasks we will be adding on, and you know there will be several, I would like to raise my...

  18. CNN - DaVita Medicare Fraud

    MJB2010 replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Not when I worked there. Fmc did not do this. And I am not a fan of FMC at all. They do a lot of things I think are questionable, but nowhere near the scale of
