    Overtime Pay, who really benefits?

    NurseRies replied to NurseRies's topic in Travel

    Well, I don't mind overtime, but with my hourly rate being as low and it is, I can't help but think about everything I'm missing out on. They are paying time and a half for anything over 40 hours. And...

    Texas or florida? Ready to leave california

    NurseRies replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Travel

    Texas over Florida any day of the week. Living costs alone are enough to make it worth it. You can get ocean from either state. Texas not as humid, and wages are better in Texas. Did I mention, you...

    leg pain

    NurseRies replied to smurfynursey's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Might just be that they are pulling off too much fluid in too short of a time period. The UF rate is the rate of ml/hour that is being pulled off the patient. One of my favorite doctors always said...

    Hey all travelers! Have you all ever had to take a week off for personal reasons or a health issue? I think I may need a minor surgery very soon. In my contract it states that if I miss work I could...

    NurseRies replied to NurseRies's topic in Travel

    I'm hoping so.. I'll know within a few days. But if the pain gets worse, probably can't wait 2 more

    Dialysis traveling

    NurseRies replied to NurseRies's topic in Travel

    I agree.. Specific questions would help. But I also don't want to post specifics about pay related to companies since it is in the contract not to tell others what you make. But I would answer...

    What is the one thing you wish you had known on your first assignment?

    NurseRies replied to Traveldee's topic in Travel

    Mine would be that I wish I hadn't taken the first assignment that I interviewed for. I also wish I would have waited just one or two more weeks to see if the city I really wanted came up. And of...

    Dialysis Travel Nurse salaries

    NurseRies replied to lost nurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    40-hr is very vague when it comes to traveling. It sounds like you need to get some more facts about how travel nurses are paid. Your base rate may be $25/hr, but when you factor in that you're...

    Fresenius called me today...

    NurseRies replied to westieluv's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Yes thanks ! That's very true. One of my favorite parts of my job is education. I meet dialysis patients that have been doing treatments 5 years, and when I explain some diet concerns or teach them...

    NurseRies replied to westieluv's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Haha yes.. I'm sorry but anytime someone's life is at risk, it ain't easy. There's so many things that COULD go wrong, but I don't let it happen if in my power. Ugh, I was almost amazed. Even if my...

    Fresenius called me today...

    NurseRies replied to westieluv's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I also love to plan. I usually just don't plan anything unless I'm off work. Even if I'm on call overnight and off the next day, I warn people that I may cancel if I get called in at midnight. It's no...

    Fresenius called me today...

    NurseRies replied to westieluv's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    If family and time is important to you, you may not want to do acute dialysis. If you like to plan or know when you're getting off work, yikes, you will hate it! I work with lots of people that have...

    NurseRies replied to bambam123's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    The company itself is fine, whether or not you have a good manager and Facility Administrator is another. Think of yourself as working for a company as large as a Chili's restaurant or a Kohl's....

    What is psych nursing really like???

    NurseRies replied to ifhn10's topic in Psychiatric

    If you are talking to me, probably not for dialysis unless you're in a tough market. I think most outpatient centers will take new grads and minimal experience because they're so understaffed. But...

    I'm looking into a company called Nurses RX, which is a branch of American Mobile. I am wondering what the benefits or differences would be to go with one company or the other. Is there difference in...

    I recently read that nurses RX is awful... At this point I don't remember where I read that. I think one person can have a great experience and others a bad one. Overall though, heard more bad then...
