  4. Where are all the young nurses?

    MN-Nurse replied to bestallaround's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, we are toughing it out on all the very difficult, high turnover jobs until we can get settled into a more stable gig and they can chew up some new RNs at our old jobs. - An Old New

  5. CEO compensation

    MN-Nurse replied to dzadzey's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please do some research on the background of wealthy CEOs. You can't just pick one and go, "Look, a poor slave from Elbonia can be a CEO!" Look at ALL of them. Hint: people have already done this...

  8. How much of a raise did you get this year?

    MN-Nurse replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    I got a 2% base salary raise plus a 6.3% annual bump coming this year. Both union contract raises. 8.3% ain't bad in this economy. I think it's fair because it's what was

  9. I'm SO ******!!!

    MN-Nurse replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    Someone once took an outline of mine, barely changed it and turned it in as his own work. It was an online class, so we had to review each other's work. I sent him a very terse email about what he...

  12. Working for the Rich Population?

    MN-Nurse replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    It's all right. When I worked in home health, we had a few private pay clients who had more than a few nickels to rub together. They often had a lot of hours and overnights. Other than the higher...

  13. Patients being discharged prematurely

    MN-Nurse replied to Patti_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have never seen a med surg patient treated like you describe at my hospital. It goes completely the other way. People who are completely stable get admitted and challenge their discharges fairly...

  14. Strike breaking agency recruiting nurses

    MN-Nurse replied to lindarn's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The above borders on childish. Closing down hospitals in response to RN strikes is simply not feasible. Someone has to take care of patients during a strike - they aren't factory tools - and even...

    MN-Nurse replied to ThePhilster's topic in General Students

    If you were going to cheat on or leave your girlfriend, you certainly would not need nursing school to do that. If you are committed to your relationship, nursing school is not going to change

  17. Strike breaking agency recruiting nurses

    MN-Nurse replied to lindarn's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    This one has always has me torn. If my union votes to go on strike, I'll go on strike. But I know that nurses will have to be hired to care for patients during the strike and I'll have no ill...

  24. Newly employed ADN nurses please read!

    MN-Nurse replied to AlexFutureMD's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Some employers are requiring a BSN, others are not. It really depends on the region you work. I think a few of them are using the tough job market as an excuse and when the demand for new nurses...

    MN-Nurse replied to ohmeowzer's topic in Patient Medications
