  1. How do you answer a salary question in an interview?

    Amanda.RN replied to Nurse Chef's topic in General Nursing

    Is the $18 per hour for LVN or MA? You're applying for a MA position, so anticipate that you will fall within their MA pay scale. I like how Ashley PICU RN said to word it - that's what I would do....

  2. Kind of perplexed and a lot nervous

    Amanda.RN replied to NoAverageLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should do it!! It would be very helpful to get your foot in the door. Even if there's no openings in the ER when you graduate, there may be other floors hiring. If you prove yourself to be...

  3. Would you consider me?

    Amanda.RN replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear you're having a difficult time finding a job. I agree that many times jobs are posted simply because it's HR policy to do so - but they already have an internal transfer who's applied...

  4. My manager went off on me!

    Amanda.RN replied to mh356's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It sounds like she's stressed, but that's no excuse to let it out on you. She's the manager and it's her job to remain professional and composed during stressful situations. I would wait until JCAHO...

  5. The problem with nursing

    Amanda.RN replied to passionflower's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I totally agree! I wish there were more resources and/or self-employed nurses. I would love to brain-storm and come up with new ideas. I wish this Entrepreneur page on AllNurses was busier with more...

  6. Facing a management position...

    Amanda.RN replied to notjustanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with Mom 100% (Moms are always right!! LOL). ...and since you're not doing extra curricular activities with them now, that won't be a problem. Maintain professionalism, don't gossip, be friendly...

  7. Accidental Needle Prick With a Hep C+ Patient

    Amanda.RN replied to jamie0110's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you have all of the appropriate paper work filled out. Your school should have insurance available for you to use for the appropriate follow up care. It's important that you follow through...

  8. Marketing Ideas

    Amanda.RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello All, I initially posted this on the Entrepreneur discussion board but wasn't getting any responses, so I'm re-posting it here. I am looking for some fun and creative ways to market my business...

  9. Marketing Ideas

    Amanda.RN replied to Amanda.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the great responses everyone! :)

  10. Education/experience required

    Amanda.RN replied to SMSMITHRN's topic in Case Management

    I would start by looking for a job in care/case management. You do not necessarily need to be certified as a care/case manager in order to get a job in that field. Once you have the necessary...

  11. Education/experience required

    Amanda.RN replied to SMSMITHRN's topic in Case Management

    Please be cautious and do your research. There are many places that say they will provide you with "certification" by going through a series of (expensive) courses, but only some kinds of...

  12. Too young to be a nurse??

    Amanda.RN replied to eschoolgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I graduated and was licensed at the age of 21, and I was a charge nurse and preceptor by 22. I never felt like age was a factor in how others felt about me. Work hard, act professional, practice...

  13. professional way for new graduate to quit during orientation

    Amanda.RN replied to nanner8691's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Put all your time & attention on the job you want to work at & don't discuss your PRN job with the supervisor at your full-time job. I would call you PRN job supervisor and set up a time to...

  14. "I'm a Nurse Practitioner!"

    Amanda.RN replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    How annoying! ...I hate it when people do that. This was a well worded & funny read. Thanks for sharing!

  15. Salary for....

    Amanda.RN replied to NiceShot's topic in Case Management

    It took a lot of research - determining whether or not there's a market for the services I wanted to provide, developing a business plan, learning how to start a business in my state, etc (...the list...

  16. Salary for....

    Amanda.RN replied to NiceShot's topic in Case Management

    It depends on several things... 1. Are you going to the clients' homes, or are they coming to you in an office setting? 2. What services are you providing? 3. Where are you located (ie. what state)?...

  17. pt. called in narcotics under MY name...now what

    Amanda.RN replied to Yulie's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a Risk Management department? If so, I would contact them for their advice. Don't contact the police without doing so because I'm sure there's a specific protocol they have in place for...

  18. Calling Off Sick --Do You Ever Think People Lie?

    Amanda.RN replied to It'sInTheBlood's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure people call in sick all the time without actually being sick. I wouldn't second guess yourself though, despite crying as you asked about. I had the flu earlier this year and felt so horrible...

  19. Am I worrying too much???

    Amanda.RN replied to hayhay12's topic in General Nursing

    You did everything you could. You certainly should not be questioning if there was something more you could/should have

  20. The waiting game

    Amanda.RN replied to pockunit's topic in General Nursing

    In follow up of my last message, can you let me know if this worked for you? I hope it

  21. The waiting game

    Amanda.RN replied to pockunit's topic in General Nursing

    Have you looked it up on the Wisconsin License look-up webpage? That will contain your license number. WI updates the license page on the Wednesday following you taking and passing the test. Go to...

  22. Should I stop to help?

    Amanda.RN replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    I would have refused and driven away too. You should not put yourself in danger's way. Good choice (...and you're still here to write about it...the ending could have been much different if you had...

  23. There just may be a light at the end of the tunnel....

    Amanda.RN replied to elizabeth8503RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that you're not there to be the house keeper, babysitter, nanny, maid, dog walker, etc etc etc. I'd have been outta there a long time ago! Good luck in your new

  24. When would be a good time??

    Amanda.RN replied to superlivyRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They can't read your mind, so if you don't tell them you're interested, they don't know. I would talk with them ASAP. Good luck!!

  25. Would like to hear from nurses

    Amanda.RN replied to BeepingIV's topic in General Nursing

    Hospital experience is sooo important, but burns most nurses out. You've been in this for 2 years - good for you! I only made it 18 months in a hospital med/surg setting. It was too much stress for me...
