  1. Visiting nurse slapped with a parking ticket :-/

    MJB2010 replied to PinkRNBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am sure you get paid more to work in the city, if not, perhaps this job is not worth

  2. Visiting nurse slapped with a parking ticket :-/

    MJB2010 replied to PinkRNBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a difference between parking illegally and intentionally blocking someone in. No one has the right to think that what they are doing is more important than someone else. Maybe the person you...

  3. Visiting nurse slapped with a parking ticket :-/

    MJB2010 replied to PinkRNBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. 6% "take off" rule

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

    In my unit we had guidelines, no more than 1L per hour, but this was not always followed. Those of us that knew the patients knew what they could handle taking off. Sometimes much less than the 1L per...

  7. Pay scale

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

    What part of the country are you in? I think this would make a difference in pay rates and pay scale. I made more in dialysis than I do in the hospital, but I got no differentials, whereas in the...

  8. Feel like the worst nurse ever.

    MJB2010 replied to LPNmomtobe's topic in General Nursing

    Hugs! Sounds like you were doing your best. They chose to focus on the one thing you didn't do instead of the zillion things you did do. That is nursing. It is always about the one thing. The mom...

  9. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

    MJB2010 replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

    I may be a bit skeptical in general from my few years of bedside experience, but from your interests OP, it does not sound like nursing is the best fit for you. For the amount we are required to know...

  10. counting my chickens before they hatch

    MJB2010 replied to PlourdieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Have you interviewed for both positions yet? What leads you to believe that you will be offered one before the other or both? I think in all honestly, one bird in the hand is worth two in the bush....

  12. Nurse Educator without nursing experience.. (?)

    MJB2010 replied to bsnwnab's topic in Nursing Career

    OP I am wondering if you are leaving something out here. Something seems to be missing. What country did you complete your degree in? What kind of degree do you have? Have you or are you able to sit...

  13. A few degrees yet still a lot of confusion. Any thoughts greatly appreciated

    MJB2010 replied to inGod'stime's topic in Georgia Nursing

    What do you want to do for a job? Until you answer that question, it is hard to offer any advice. No offense, but you seem to be all over the place. It seems as though you want to be a perpetual...

  14. Entry level pay rate for RN in Atlanta

    MJB2010 replied to slcharles31's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Pay is actually getting worse here, not better. New grads are now getting paid less than what new grads made years ago at the same hospitals. There are a lot of new grads and the hospitals are taking...

  15. Which shift do you prefer, 7pm-7am or 7am-7pm and why?

    MJB2010 replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in General Nursing

    In terms of the shift, I prefer 7pm-7am, but it does cause problems in the rest of my life. I stick to the schedule, so on my off days I still sleep later than most people and stay up late at night....

  16. Is it possible for a RN to work five 12 hr days?

    MJB2010 replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in dialysis, we worked 14 hour and 16 hour days, then add in your commute. They refused to hire appropriate staff, so if you ever wanted to take a couple of days off you would get...

  18. Two nurses - one marriage

    MJB2010 replied to mysonsmama's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be nice to have a spouse to vent to that understands, instead of the blank look I get from my husband when stressed about work. I do not think I would want to work on the same...

  20. New Grad interview, 900 miles away, expensive...HELP

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

    I wasn't being fresh, I was asking a legit question. You agreed to the interview knowing how far it is, I think it looks bad to back out and could hurt your chances of getting a position. Did they...
