    What the Heck to You Do on Night Shifts?

    RosesrReder replied to RedRubCatheter's topic in Nursing Humor

    Great post. Been there and done that minus the breaks (no minutes at all in a 12 hr shift). Also, no med cart. You have to run across the way to the med room to get each and every med (usually a wait...

    Are there any stretchy scrubs out there?

    RosesrReder replied to pinkrose85's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Jockey line is awesome. I love the pants because of the comfort waist. They are on the expensive side but they do not fade or look ragedy. They truly last. Some people love SCRUBS brand but not...

    CNA (Pool) Salary Question

    RosesrReder replied to chinny_0012's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently working regional float pool. I get paid more per hour but NO benefits. I work various departments (NICU, Peds, postpartum, medsurg) and depending where I am needed is where I work....

    Describe the Ugliest Scrubs You Have Seen!

    RosesrReder replied to PacoUSA's topic in Nursing Humor

    I can't stand seeing nurses who wear the low-rise, hip-huggers paired with the top that is way too short; especially when they bend over or are in other circumstances. (Not to mention with a visible...

    Missed a call for an on-call shift

    RosesrReder replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh, our NICU allows us to take half a shift call. We usually buddy up with someone and decide what half we want to do. I HATE being on call all darned

    do other careers get "write-ups" as much as nurses?

    RosesrReder replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    That is right. Wouldn't you think that management would properly staff at the very least for those reasons? At the end, the individual nurse pays the consequences. Then management replaces them...

    RosesrReder replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    For those of use saying that at your workplace "write-ups" are not used for any punitive purposes and merely as a learning experience to correct what might have cause it...........take of the rose...

    do other careers get "write-ups" as much as nurses?

    RosesrReder replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Just wait and see when you become a nurse, how 'hard' things really are and if people "overdramatize" or not. Hard to accurately judge for yourself until you fill those shoes. Hope things are...

    do other careers get "write-ups" as much as nurses?

    RosesrReder replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    Not that I disagree with parts of your post; however, lets see if you still think/act the same when you make it to the other side (become a nurse). Whole different world out

    RosesrReder replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    My experience has been that anything with predominantly women will increases those risks I do agree with you. It's concentrated in the nursing field. Then again, seems to be run by too many chiefs...

    Vent - Still frustrated about this situation, what would you have done?

    RosesrReder replied to ChocoholicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be saddened at the lack of support from my co-workers. Every floor or place I have worked you don't even have to ask and usually our pt load is keeps us busting at the seams. I do agree that...

    Ok.. so.... what state PAYS the best for an RN in your opinion?

    RosesrReder replied to Airbrushguy's topic in General Nursing

    You are right. I went to school in CT and the start pay for RN was the same as the start pay in the city in Arizona I moved to. In CT I would never be able to own a home and comfortably bought a...

    Its true - very few jobs for new grads.

    RosesrReder replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I've always heard there was a shortage as well, others said only a nursing shortage of nurses willing to put up with the current working conditions. Now, saddly to say, there are plenty of nursing...

    given the choice- day shift or night shift ?

    RosesrReder replied to jollygirl098's topic in California Nursing

    The manager may consider you, but beware that usually there is a waiting list of senior night staff wanting to come to days. If your manager is fair and such list exists......you probably aren't...

    RosesrReder replied to studentstorm's topic in General Nursing

    Not a starbucks fan but LOVE my dunkin donuts coffee. Missed it dearly coming from the east coast to AZ where we had none. Thankfully, I just relocated to a state that does. My new hospital offers...

    Leave Good Job for Nursing?

    RosesrReder replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Nursing

    It is such a personal decision and at the end I believe you should follow your heart and gut! That being said, I PERSONALLY would not do it. I love nursing to pieces but I have never come even close...
