    gettingbsn2msn replied to Smiley6's topic in Travel

    Are people seriously traveling for $20/hour? The person who traveled to Hawaii for 27/hour? Really? I make 18/hour and work like a dog. I thought I was low paid. Good grief, at those rates, I...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not really. I was in the business world for a major corporation for 14 years prior to my BSN. I had the ability to decipher conflict. My only problem that I have not been able to combat is the...

  7. Question for working nurses

    gettingbsn2msn replied to socialworkertonurse's topic in General Nursing

  9. Are advertising scrubs next?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    actually it will be the name of the hospital all over the scrubs. This is what I see for the future. XYZ hospital logo from top to bottom. That will end the day of nurses looking to buy their...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to markfish's topic in General Nursing

  12. What would you say to your patient?

    gettingbsn2msn replied to jingie's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Patients around here want to see the doc the day they call (or drop in). Problem is it takes 2 weeks to get an appointment. Most do not want to wait 2 weeks. Only other choice is to go to the er...

  13. RNs being negative about NP school

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Le-Lee_FNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It is sad that your coworkers are so jealous. Pay them no mind. Who cares what they think? At the end of the day it is all about you. In 10 years these same people will not matter to you

    gettingbsn2msn replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    At many hospitas you will be fired for not doing the paperwork which takes oodles of time. Not to mention if you are called in on a lawsuit. I totally get what the OP is saying. Is it the OP's...

    gettingbsn2msn replied to natyloo's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP
