  2. Question Regarding Hourly Rates for RNs

    lifeisbeautiful replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    I think that is awful. Where I work, they determine pay by how long you've been a nurse and how long you've been at the hospital. The pay scale starts so low (purposely), so it really doesn't make a...

  3. Diversion Of Narcotic

    lifeisbeautiful replied to RN0202's topic in General Nursing

    lifeisbeautiful replied to Brickman's topic in General Nursing

  6. We make as much as maids

    lifeisbeautiful replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    lifeisbeautiful replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    lifeisbeautiful replied to cargal's topic in General Nursing

    I had to laugh out loud when I read this because it reminded me of my old job :rotfl: They treated everyone poorly at this facility. I would bring up areas of concern to the Charge Nurse or the DON...

    lifeisbeautiful replied to jpoetic3's topic in General Nursing

  20. Any Single Moms, Out There With Some Advice

    lifeisbeautiful replied to dream8's topic in General Nursing

    I was just curious what you meant when you asked if 'hospitals are understanding to their employees with children'. I don't have kids so I never really thought about this.
