  1. RN Liability Insurance

    SC_RNDude replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Nursing

    When you used them, was it as a staff nurse or a APRN? APRN would be a different situation. And, I bet the policy cost more than

  2. RN Liability Insurance

    SC_RNDude replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Nursing

    There is a reason the cost is so low, and not coincidentally, why we seldom hear from people who have used it. (There have been many posts like yours over the years I've been

  3. Nursing certifications going away??

    SC_RNDude replied to Jvgrek0126's topic in General Nursing

    I'm shocked too, but for a different reason. Those certifications are money makers for the organization offering

  4. RN Liability Insurance

    SC_RNDude replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Nursing

  6. Documentation Error

    SC_RNDude replied to nurseslrn's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing instructors would lead us all to believe that nurses left and right are losing licenses, being sued, and testifying in court. In 8 years, I'm not aware of any of my coworkers having any of...

  7. Waste of time/money to earn extra certifications?

    SC_RNDude replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    Your friend isn't completely wrong. It is a good thing for a resume. When everything else is equal, may put you in front of other candidates when you apply for other jobs. There are other ways to...

  8. Gap year before nursing school?

    SC_RNDude replied to Sweetie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No question, take a year and work on your prerequisites and try to get into a less expensive school. It sounds like you would be a good candidate at any school, and if not the expensive private...

  9. NSO Insurance

    SC_RNDude replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious. What do you mean exactly when you say they "wouldn't protect you"? Was that their exact words, or can you elaborate on the conversation? Are you familiar with the term "respondeat...

  12. NSO Insurance

    SC_RNDude replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

    I just opened my own insurance agency. For $113 a year, I'll sell you a policy that covers your home in the event it is struck by a meteor. I know that it is extremely unlikely your home will be...

  13. Quit while on orientation

    SC_RNDude replied to Throwaway11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why would any employer want a orientee to stick around for 1 more day let alone 2 or 4 weeks???? Whenever you give your notice will likely be your last

  14. NSO Insurance

    SC_RNDude replied to ab197's topic in General Nursing

    I think nursing school instructors must get a commission, because that's where everyone gets the idea they need the insurance. Must of us who are staff nurses in s hospital don't need it. If you...

  15. Would you go to another career fair if you already accepted an offer somewhere else?

    SC_RNDude replied to Bunsbuns's topic in General Nursing

    If you would be able to accept a offer before starting at where you already accepted, I don't see why you shouldn't

    I once started a new job, and soon met a nurse at my new place who was leaving to go to the exact unit at worked on at another hospital. We both had similar experience, about two years. We were...

  18. Getting on with other staff

    SC_RNDude replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    I first read the title of your post as "getting it on with other staff". So, the actual post left me disappointed. I'll move on. Good

  19. Need compensation advice at my job

    SC_RNDude replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    Like you said, you are a brand new RN. I think most employers anywhere would start you the same as any new RN. The raises you received along the way in other positions don't

  20. New Grad Orientation Contracts

    SC_RNDude replied to Kaiyas's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No, they weren't "burned", they were a poor employer and people didn't want to stay. In all industries, people tend to be more loyal and want to stay with good employers, and they want to leave bad...

  22. Help me pick a surgery to observe!!

    SC_RNDude replied to Sbhayes09's topic in General Students

    I agree with all above. I would add that knee replacements are pretty cool, too. A lot of surgeries you can't see a whole lot as an observer, but with the knees there is a lot going on and an...

  23. Student loans killing me!! stressed!

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

  24. Student loans killing me!! stressed!

    SC_RNDude replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

    You say you don't know why you were disqualified for loan forgiveness. A better question is, why do you think you qualified for
