Hi, I am not a Psych. nurse and it has been a long time since I took Psych in nursing school. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I need to know. What is the term used for a person who thinks "Me, Me, Me" Someone who dosen't care about anyone feelings but themselves, and is constantly thinking what is best for themselves no matter who they hurt. This person is not anti-social. I have looked through some Psych books and can not pinpoint one specific term. Is there one term used for people like this? Any help would be appreciated in advance. And by the way, I admire anyone who does Psych nursing. It has to be trying at times.

I am a travel nurse who has finished a 13 week contract. About 3 weeks ago I told my recruiter that I would take another 13 weeks at the same facility. No contract was signed. One week before my contract was up my son had a severe eye injury requiring surgery. I completed my assignment. I informed my recruiter that I was not going to do another 13 week assignment. She informed me that they are going to charge me (out of my last check) for one months rent. As I said I did not sign a contract with this company. She said they needed a 30 day notice and that she had a verbal agreement with me. Does anyone how the legalities of this matter? The money that will be taken from my check would have gone towards medical bills. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if the majority of travel nurses work night shift. I have always been a day person-get up early and go to bed early. I have taken my first travel position and work 7p. I like it so far except I have not adjusted to when to sleep. I have asked my recruiter if she would have any day shift positions for my next assignment and she said they were limited but when the time came she would try to find something. So I would like to kow if there are travel companies that have more day positions than others. Thanks in advance. :)

Hi, I am trying to narrow down a couple of travel agencies. Does anyone have any pro and cons for RN Network and MSN Medical staffing. Your input will be appreciated. Thanks :)

Hi, I am trying to decide on a travel company. There are so many out there and I believe I have seen all their advertisements on the internet. I would likle to have a few company names that are reliable, and will be there when you need them, and they do what they say. I am from Va. and would like to start traveling in August. I have been told that California has a law that anything over 8 hours is overtime and they work 12 hour shifts. I want to make the money, and I also need to know that the company that I choose will not leave me stranded. So if you know of any reputable companies that you have used and are satisified with them please let me know. Also I would like to know of some hospitals in California that are travel friendly. I have heard nothing but good about California and am excited about working there. Thanks
