  5. My reality of becoming an RN

    BettyBoop01 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well there you have it, becoming an RN was officially the biggest mistake I have made thus far in my life. I am throwing in the towel and going back to my former career if they will have me. I had a...

  6. My reality of becoming an RN

    BettyBoop01 replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    Tried that, it didnt work out. I ended up with renters (chosen with a "thorough screening" from the property management company I paid) who didnt pay and a lot of damage I ended up footing the bill...

  7. I am doing a paper for school.... please post your opinion

    BettyBoop01 replied to jaclynshroyer64's topic in General Nursing

    Definately the poor staffing. They are cutting the secretary hours, cutting the cnas, and giving the RNS more patients. So now we have more patients and less help. And then on top of the added...

    BettyBoop01 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I need to vent. I have been applying for jobs since early October. No calls back really for all of Oct, Nov, & Dec. I also have a current job, in which I am not happy. I have been applying to...

  11. Can I still look for tech job if I'm graduating in May?

    BettyBoop01 replied to StudentNurzNK's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you can! Tech experience is so helpful! You graduate in May, but then you will be studying for the boards. You can work as a tech while searching for an RN job and it will certainly be worth...

  13. Anyone know of any dialysis programs in GA that cater to LPN

    BettyBoop01 replied to SuzieL's topic in Georgia Nursing

    If I were you with your experience I would just apply right to the dialysis clinics. They offer pretty extensive training from what I have read. The two big ones are Fresenius and Davita. Can't hurt...

  14. What would you rather do?

    BettyBoop01 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Would you rather commute an hour and a half each way (knowing your shift starts at 530am) and pay all the gas prices and wear and tear on your car, or rent an apartment (which will cost a little bit...

  15. What would you rather do?

    BettyBoop01 replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    The least expensive hotel room I found was 64 a night, so for 3 nights that is almost 200 a week. It is a remote area, not much going on I am shocked there isn't anything cheaper. I am going to try...

  16. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    BettyBoop01 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    How much does it cost to park at MGH? How much to commute via the T? I really think overall it would end up costing you. But sometimes you have to take what you can get until you can get what you...

    BettyBoop01 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  19. Current Piedmont RN Residency

    BettyBoop01 replied to optimusRN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Optimus RN Sorry I missed your post. I did interview for the position. They were supposed to let us know one way or another if we got it in " 3 weeks or so" . Still have not heard anything. It was a...

  20. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    BettyBoop01 replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think less than 12 bucks an hour is offensive. That being said, they will most definately fill every spot because of the new grad glut in Massachusetts. I bet it will be really competative too and...

  21. Time for some introspective criticism perhaps?

    BettyBoop01 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    I know in my case I stopped coming in for OT after being burned too many times. If you offer to come in for 4 hours, you get dumped all the patients the day nurses dont want any more. You end up doing...
