    Why hire an LPN rather than an MA for a doctor's office?

    RosesrReder replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, well, if I was an MA doing all of the above........I'd feel super cheated and scammed to say the least. Although you and the nurses did "nearly the same" I bet you did not make the same pay. Not...

    RosesrReder replied to LilBoo's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Congratulations on passing boards! When I graduated and moved out west, there were no openings for NICU either. Peds, mother baby didn't either. I went into med-surg and transfered when an opening...

    Dying Pts who are still full codes.

    RosesrReder replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Just like any other full code. On my floor, it's a chronic thing to have pt's like the one you just described and in their late 80's 90's. To each their

    Do you take the MAR into the patient's room with you?

    White scrubs...you have got to be kidding!

    RosesrReder replied to abbaking's topic in Men in Nursing

    I must be the exception. Where I live the water is so nasty you would think that someone voided and didn't flush the toilet. No joke or exaggeration (honestly). Whites in my neck of the woods are more...

    2 weeks after I applied. I put in for a transfer since I was working med-surg at the same hospital (and only hospital in a 250+ mile radius-I must add). Much luck to you too!!!!

    I work per diem at a federal prison and never ask inmates what they are there for (nor I am interested). You do have some that feel the need to share and that is okay but I do not engage in a...

    "English Only" Rule at Work?

    RosesrReder replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    We don't have that rule at my hosp. I live on a border town and the vast majority speak Spanish (including Caucasians); however, I do not engage in Spanish conversations when others do not...

    Pay rate for Spanish speaking RNs...?

    I agree. My hospital does provide a medical spanish course paid by them. You MUST pass the course in order to translate and get the extra

    Pay rate for Spanish speaking RNs...?

    RosesrReder replied to Skysail's topic in California Nursing

    I get a whopping dollar more. It's very exhausting to translate all night for me. I live in a border town. Thanfully, lots of aides are bilingual and help out. They too get a dollar more. Not...

    New Grad RN, can I work NICU?

    RosesrReder replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    So glad to hear! I never even bothered applying to NICU as a new grad as it was clear and evident that they did not hire new grads (unfortunately). I was still hesitant to apply with only 10 months...

    RosesrReder replied to RosesrReder's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Go for it! It's worth a try. I was very nervous myself as they are quite 'picky' at my hosp for the NICU. I prayed and was myself during the interview. Much luck to you!!
