  1. Am I being offered a fair pay?

    kcmylorn replied to AussiRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not really concerned what other industries are making. I'm just concerned about what is happening to the nurses pay. And over the past 3 years I've seen our pay go down, way down. In the 1980's...

    kcmylorn replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  3. Help! Manager won't let me off night shift

    kcmylorn replied to DeLana_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I worked night shift- the night shift was full of us young moms, that's exactly why we worked nights- to be there for the kids during the days. Yeah, we were tired and dragged our butts to the...

    kcmylorn replied to rickbar's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  5. job hopper help

    kcmylorn replied to Tampa121's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  6. Paramedics rank higher than LPNs?

    kcmylorn replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In my opinnion, Paramedics are not paid nearly enough of what they should be. I think it's a crying shame that in some communities- paramedics are not paid at all, strickly volunteers. I hope these...

  7. Does it sound like I can get my job back?

  8. HELP!!!"How do I make Lemonade out of this Nursing Profession?"

    kcmylorn replied to lweave2's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Clinical research makes the most money. CRA's and CRC's- make at least $91,000( $45.00/hr) in my area. Not the case with bedside nursing- try 20-30,000 less. Call center nurses( like the one...

  10. BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

    kcmylorn replied to rickbar's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  11. BSN Only Is A Wall Street Scam

    kcmylorn replied to rickbar's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I kind of have to agree with rick on the core theory- I must admit I am not to up on the wall street gang but the hospital CEO's game plan- Oh yah! I think there is a lot of truth to what rick is...

  12. Is my bad credit keeping me from obtaining employment?

    kcmylorn replied to swilsonlpn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I believe they also have to send you a letter stating that the credit history is or is not part of the hiring decision. I don't think nursing employers use credit histories as big part of a hiring...

    kcmylorn replied to miabia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    30 years ago I went into nursing because I wanted to. We didn't express life the way they do now a days, shreeking and blubbering "It's my dream job! "( a phrase I find absolutely nauseating) This...
