  1. Hourly Pay or Salary... What is best?

    MultipurposeRN replied to Cairo662's topic in General Nursing

    I do about as well salaried as I did hourly, except when I was doing In house registry at premium pay. Of course, I was PRN for years so didn't usually work full time, either. If I went back to...

  2. A step towards "universal health care" run by the government?

    MultipurposeRN replied to blueyesue's topic in General Nursing

  3. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    MultipurposeRN replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Where are the instructors in these situations? When I had students I tried to put them with nurses who didn't mind students and also nurses that could teach them a lot. I was pretty fortunate in...

    MultipurposeRN replied to psalm_55's topic in General Nursing

    I keep reading on the report 'child' this and 'child' that. But a 16 year old who's having a baby is no longer a child. My daughter had my granddaughter at 15 and signed all her own consents. I...

    MultipurposeRN replied to aggieamy5's topic in General Nursing

    My youngest son's dad worked 7 12 hr nights in a row then would have 7 nights off. Sounded good, but after a few years he was terribly stressed and run down. I would say your hubby might do ok for...

    MultipurposeRN replied to Mudwoman's topic in General Nursing

    People complain about spending money on the war in Iraq, but have no problem w/ the millions if not billions of dollars spent on the useless 'war on drugs' that has cost countless lives. It hasn't...

  12. Are the Democrats good for nurses.

    MultipurposeRN replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    The main reason I won't join the ANA or the state association is because they are too political. That's fine for them, but I'm a nurse, not a politician. And I almost never like the candidates they...

    MultipurposeRN replied to biker nurse's topic in General Nursing

  17. #%@&$ Flu Shot!

    MultipurposeRN replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thimerosol caused so many problems when chemical cleaning first got started for contact lenses that I'd be a little leary about having a flu vaccine with it. 2 of us at work got mild cases of the flu...

  18. How is MO???

    MultipurposeRN replied to mamamia's topic in General Nursing

    You might consider working around Joplin MO, too. There's 2 big hospitals there. Wages aren't bad, COL isn't bad either. There's kind of a slump in sales of new homes, so it's a good time to buy. YOu...

  19. How is MO???

    MultipurposeRN replied to mamamia's topic in General Nursing

    People talk weird (kidding). They don't know what a freeway is; they say Missour-ah instead of Missouri and sun-dah instead of sundae. YOu must be from a different part of MO than I am . I've lived...

  23. Anybody buy their own private insurance?

    MultipurposeRN replied to 777RNThatsMe's topic in General Nursing

    I never bought the arguement against liability insurance that lawyers only look for those who have it to sue...I just can't see a money hungry lawyer letting that stop them. After all, a nurse has a...

    MultipurposeRN replied to MultipurposeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the responses. Not to wish anyone ill, but it is nice to know you're not crazy and that some of these severe symptoms really ARE hormone related. I will definitely czech some of these books...

  25. Job Hunting - I don't understand

    MultipurposeRN replied to Pupnshnooter's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion is that if you just drop in to pick up an application because you happen to be in town, it shouldn't really matter what you're wearing as long as you're clean. If they choose to interview...
