  1. Would you drive 1 1/2 to 2 hours for a job?

    MJB2010 replied to Zookeeper44's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did it! I had an hour and a half commute each way. I did it for 8 months then was finally able to move closer. I traveled at off hours which helped and mostly highway. Make sure you have a really...

    MJB2010 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am having trouble with the sizing chart. Anyone know if the "missy" (not juniors) ones run true to size? Where is the best place to buy them? My coworkers swears they are the best, but they are...

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I am also plus size, so nervous about them not fitting. I measured according to the size chart, but those never work. Just returned some Cherokee pants that were way too big even though I measured and...

  8. Question re proffesionalism

    MJB2010 posted a topic in General Nursing

  10. Salary for clinic position?

    MJB2010 replied to TheOracle's topic in General Nursing

    That salary is aburd. Stand up for yourself and say heck no. She is treating you like a doormat and what is worse is she actually has you considering this. Let me say this loud and clear, THIS LADY IS...

    MJB2010 replied to madwife2002's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    In my clinic the RN has their own pod of two patients, plus all catheters, assesments, heparin pushes, and all meds. It isn't humanly possible to do all of it with the schedule we have (turning over a...

  12. 10 hours shifts REALLY 10 hour shifts?

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

    MJB2010 replied to Lucky724's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I work in a chronic clinic. I love the patients and the job itself, you really do get to know them well. I was offered 3 ten hour shifts, instead I am working two 15 hours shifts and one 12 hour...

  15. New to HD

    MJB2010 replied to gigi2010's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    If it happens in the morning when the techs are there, one calls 911 and the other helps me with the code. If it is in the afternoon when it is just me and one tech, we are in trouble. One to call 911...

  16. New to HD

    MJB2010 replied to gigi2010's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    This policy is not followed in my clinic. I can personally attest to that, I was alone after 3 months. Also I work in a smaller clinic and the RN does have a section of our own to put on and off....

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I stayed at a job for 8 years, the one I left after 6 months was a bad fit. I am looking for another place to stay long term. And I was planning to stay at my current position (where I have been about...

    MJB2010 replied to gigi2010's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    For me I had to get thrown in and it just plain sucked for the first few weeks. When you are new, you have to be able to accept help, and you will not be able to carry your own weight for a little...

  24. How long is your shift?

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

    I suspect we work for the same company. They keep deducting two 30 minute breaks from my check and I am lucky if I get one. I am so frustrated. I am also thinking of picking up a prn job elsewhere...

    MJB2010 replied to gigi2010's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Are you in a chronic clinic? I did not feel ready when I finished training either and they left me alone as the only RN in the building! Yikes! I say ask for more time. If they have invested this much...
