  1. RN in a doctors office??

    fungez replied to KKB243's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in an oncology office. Phone nurses, chemo administration, colony stimulator shots, it was multi-doctor so there were lots of jobs. I got exactly the same I was making at the hospital...

  2. Unprofessional "Prospective" Employers...Grrr

    fungez replied to Amber Lynn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've had more than one interview with no follow-up phone call. I don't take it personally when I don't get a job. Factors can range from the manager having to post it but planning, all along, to...

  8. Wear and Tear,your thoughts......

    fungez replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, yes!!! I've been doing this for 19 years now and I feel ridden hard and put away wet. 12 hour shifts about kill me. My legs hurt, my feet hurt (but much better since I discovered Crocs) and...

  9. Name a situation that is not your responsibilty...

    fungez replied to NurseCallus's topic in General Nursing

    You want to know how to make a person crazy? Not annoyed, not angry, but actually mentally insane? Make him/her totally responsible for situations that he/she has absolutely no control over. My...
