  3. Getting called off too much!

    Chin up replied to Meg, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Get an agency job and continue until your contact is up. You need the experience and the bonus. Besides, census may bounce back up and your hours reinstated. If agency won't hire you, a LTC per diem...

    Chin up replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

  5. Interview attire

    Chin up replied to heyheyhey's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't mention it. Stick with the position you are applying for. You don't want them to think you will be leaving any time soon. Never show your hand, unless it is in their best interest! Good...

  6. Can RNs renew their license when they haven't work as an RN for a while?

    Chin up replied to 50kn's topic in General Nursing

    No, you don't lose your right to renew. Otherwise, many new grads who haven't yet secured employment, would be screwed. As long as you keep you CEU's up to date and license current, you are all set....

  8. What to expect as a RN Nurse Supervisor role with no nursing exp.?

    Chin up replied to hnt1987's topic in General Nursing

    A new grad is simply not qualified to be a supervisor. The staff will be calling you about policy, clinical help, paperwork, theft, codes, disputes between staff and patient complaints. Families will...

  9. If you've left a mega hospital for a smaller company...

    Chin up replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    At 46, I would go for it. You know what you want and don't want. Don't let an institution, hold you back. You are a grown woman with her own mind. Maybe a new gig across the country is what the...

    Chin up replied to Single_Mom's topic in General Nursing

  16. Full time vs. per diem

    Chin up replied to apey08's topic in General Nursing

    Look at above quote: what CAN you bring to help this floor out? Would you know what to do or would you need ext training, therefore negating' "the help of a per diem nurse?" Per diem is an "as...

  17. Full time vs. per diem

    Chin up replied to apey08's topic in General Nursing

    This is a no brainer. Your family needs the money, you need stability and experience? In this economy, take the sure thing. You are young and can change paths later...besides the per diem job is...

  18. What would the Easter bunny put in a nurses basket?

    Chin up replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, you nasty

  19. What would the Easter bunny put in a nurses basket?

    Chin up replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I too have a pen addiction. The problem with getting them in an Easter basket is then I won't want them. I buy boxes and boxes of pens, but still want someone else's, "perfect one". I think I have...

  20. How do you handle caring for a patient who has been abused?

    Chin up replied to eagle78's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have handled a horrific case back in the late eighties, that wanted me to kill. I was 28 or 29 at the time. I was a hot headed time bomb, that took no crap from anyone. I remember taking care...

  21. ANNOYED! HELP!

    Chin up replied to Oklahoma101010rn's topic in General Nursing

    If they work there full time, and have been there a long time, believe me, they know what to do and how to do it. Anything you do for a period of time, you become proficient in. Especially long tem...

  22. What should I have done differently?

    Chin up replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    If the contract was one linen it is not a true contract. Really, just learned this in school a few months ago. Does that one line, saying anything about you understanding what you are getting into and...

  23. What should I have done differently?

    Chin up replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    You have been there a few weeks? They can not enforce this 10k rule. It is extortion. Get a lawyer, ASAP. Or have someone you know who reads contracts, find your out for you. It is there, you just...

  24. What should I have done differently?

    Chin up replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, in that case, let's get you fired. That way, you are free and won't have to pay them back. 10k is a lot of money and it changes the whole picture. If they are not a huge, national chain, let...
