  1. Alegria Shoes

    MJB2010 replied to Twinmom06's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I tried danskos, hated them! I also tried Alegrias wore them one day, didnt like those either. They pulled/pinches on the top of my foot. And I got a scuff on em, so one day and cant return them. Dont...

  2. Ouch!

    MJB2010 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Finally broke down and bought a pair of Danskos. They were expensive and they are not comfortable at all! I wore them for a couple of hours yesterday and then for a 10 hour shift today. I dont think I...

  3. Ouch!

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

    I think I am returning them today if the store will take them back. I want to go back to my Shapeups that felt comfortable the first day I wore them. Problem is they only last 3-5 months tops before...

  6. Do you change your drivers license?

    MJB2010 posted a topic in Travel

    I was pulled over and was advised I must change my license to this state if I will be here more than 30 days. It seems ridiculous to do this and pay all the fees since I will only be here for the...

  7. My hospital is breaking the law...

    MJB2010 replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the only state that cares is California. Def no laws like that where I live, I had 10 patients on med surg by MYSELF with no LVN. I would have loved to have the help. I have worked with some...

  8. Newly hired into Dialysis...at a loss over change since job offered

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

    Wow, I responded to your previous post in the general nursing section, and I sympathised with you about how I was also surprised with a bunch of lies that were told during my hiring process. Little...

  9. Job offer, accepted now "new" information regarding position given - feel duped!

    MJB2010 replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    Same thing happened to me. I was hired for three 10 hour shifts, and a set schedule of MWF with every other S. Once I started I found out it is a 14 hour shift and no set schedule as promised, totally...

  10. moving from chronics to acutes with little experience

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

    I have found some of the techs to be exactly as you describe. Thankfully there are also some kind ones that are willing to help! I am new to dialysis as well and I can tell you that which techs are on...

  11. Difficult time adjusting to nursing, not sure what to do.

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

    Everything happens for a reason! Keep your head up and move onward and forward. That place wasn't a good fit, you will find something

    I wish you worked at my

  13. Codes in outpt HDU's???

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

    We are not ACLS certified, and our code cart has meds but only the Physician can give them if they are present during a code. They never are. The physician makes rounds once a month, their PA is...

  14. job offer questions...

    MJB2010 replied to sbostonRN's topic in General Nursing

    I always ask for a formal written offer letter. Anything offered to you, vaca days, particular shift, and rate of pay need to be included. I got burned once by an offer letter that was too vague, as I...

  15. Difficult time adjusting to nursing, not sure what to do.

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

    I think we all feel this way at our first nursing job! The real world of nursing is like getting smacked in the face, nothing like nursing school at all. I would suggest sticking it out for now, but...

  16. Interview tomorrow, what do I need to know

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

    You should know a little about the dialysis patients I think. Dialysis is a huge commitment, 3 days a week. They have restricted diets & fluid restrictions, which makes it hard to stick to. There...

  17. Need advice

    MJB2010 replied to stervets's topic in Nursing Career

    Sounds like you do not enjoy coworkers, but DO like your patients? Am I correct? Have you thought about dialysis? You have a lot of autonomy, and they say you either love it or hate it. But might be...

  18. My health is suffering..vent I guess...

    MJB2010 posted a topic in General Nursing

    :eek:I think nursing has really aged me. I have a very long commute, over an hour and I work 12 hour shifts which as you know can turn into 14 some days. I have been steadily gaining weight, I look...

  19. Is it possible to study abroad as a Nursing major...?

    MJB2010 replied to TJ_vladin's topic in General Nursing

    You could always do a summer abroad program if the semesters are too restrictive. I think a study abroad program is a life experience everyone should have if they can afford

  20. My reality of becoming an RN

    MJB2010 replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I am in a similar boat! I relocated for my first job and rented out my home as well which turned out to be a disaster. It is not a good idea to be an out of state landlord!! I will never rent out...

    MJB2010 replied to NursingBabyJ's topic in General Nursing

    Highly doubtful. I can't imagine any job, other than teaching, that would allow you to have every summer

  23. Entry level pay rate for RN in Atlanta

    MJB2010 replied to slcharles31's topic in Georgia Nursing

    New grads can make anywhere from 18-23 to start plus differentials. I started at 22. Most hospitals offer new grad programs- Piedmont, Northside, Gwinnet, Emory, Wellstar. What part of Atlanta will...

  24. Switching from dialysis nurse to any other department

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

    She has a very valid concern. Once in dialysis, it would behard to transition into anything else. I hear you either love or hate dialysis and I am new to the specialty but I can see how some could...

  25. How long did it take to get use to working nights?

    MJB2010 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never got used to it. I had a terrible time trying to sleep during the day. I did however do better when working 3 in a row because after that first 12 I could go home and go right to sleep, after...
