1. Less pay if I accept contract?

   TXMomRN replied to TXMomRN's topic in Agency

   Thanks for the replies... I was just a little weird because I would still be working for the same agency, and pretty much the same hours (just now guaranteed) and no change in benefits. To my way of thinking I was making things easier for both the a...

2. Question about amnios?

   TXMomRN replied to Burnt Out's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I had an amnio (well, 2) with my twins when some tests looked really suspicious and since my husband AND my Dr were out of town and the on call doc recommended this, I was freaked, and went ahead with it. I can still hear her saying "you *need* genet...

4. Less pay if I accept contract?

   TXMomRN posted a topic in Agency

   I was offered a contract today at the hospital where i have been per diem. Sounds good except - my pay would go down $1/hr for no reason I can think of... seems to me the hospital's life would be easier for all this, and I have talked to other agency...

8. Favorite place to work

   TXMomRN replied to rtin05's topic in General Nursing

   20 years ago I wanted to be a surgical nurse... work in the OR, see the wonders of the human body up close... Didn't take too many "observations" in the OR to realize the OR is a small room, probably does not have windows, and not many seats - I am n...

   TXMomRN replied to tigger2sassy1's topic in Agency

   Today I got not one but TWO calls to work - and it's my scheduled "Mom" day for doctor appointments and stuff... I had to say no... was THAT ever a strange feeling!!!

10. "upping the pit" with regular ctx's

    TXMomRN replied to emilyriv34rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Always safest to follow protocol. I worked in a teaching facility that had a "Pit to distress" motto - up, up, up to 42 (and beyond, at times) - unless the pt was contracting 5x in 10 minutes I wasn't doing my job - but we had immediate surgical sup...

12. cancelled. again

    TXMomRN replied to tigger2sassy1's topic in Agency

    I haven't had a shift in TWO WEEKS... I am wondering if they are trying to force me into some really crappy place out of desperation!! It just really stinks - especially when last night I was "on the schedule for today" - just call in the am and rec...

14. Agency Nurse Etiquette

    TXMomRN posted a topic in Agency

    Is it breaking any rule to work for more than one agency at a time? Seems like it would be ok unless perhaps both agencies overlapped some hospitals? I didn't see anything on the paperwork for Agency #1 about this... Just left a staff position of m...
