    Nursing shortages

    RosesrReder replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    In my state we are finding even new grads can't find a job. One particular hospital system has 74 RN postings but only for foreign trained (per the ad). They are going to beat us into submission one...

    Michigan Hospital Offering Housing or $10,000 Bonus

    RosesrReder replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    There's a hospital system where I live that does the same but the catch is the pase rate is abysmal. The on call rate is $2/hr and the RN is expected to scrub, circulate and frequently used as a...

    VA Onboarding

    RosesrReder replied to German1968's topic in Government, Military

    Same experience here. I am moving on with other job avenues myself. It's been 6 months on the hamster wheel. No idea what the pay offered would be since they never said what the board graded it...

    Unions - Yay or Nay?

    RosesrReder replied to Kiwi82's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I respectively disagree. I have lived and practice in all right to work states and have organized with a very successful union. It made it for our employer who lived by harassing the nurses not being...

    Has anyone ever worked a strike before? What was your experience?

    RosesrReder replied to Bulma's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Not a friendly topic to be discussed with internet strangers. It is like debating politics. I think it is such a personal decision and you have to delineate where you stand with your own personal...

    Safe Staffing Saves Lives

    RosesrReder replied to Heather Radder's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree with the rhetoric, unfortunately this has been the hot topic my entire nursing degree and we have accomplished absolutely nothing. To be fair, I have never practiced or lived in...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    RosesrReder replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    After the pandemic, I have noticed a huge trend in both states I practice in. PRN nurses now make less that FT/PT. All the remote or hybrid jobs are advertises as LVN or RN as well as homehealth and...

    VA Onboarding

    RosesrReder replied to German1968's topic in Government, Military

    Hey, appreciate the feedback as it is not so transparent to the people onboarding and a bit convoluted. I treated it like the rubric for a school essay myself because that is what worked for me when...

    VA Onboarding

    RosesrReder replied to German1968's topic in Government, Military

    You got this. My advise is to take the dimension you think is easiest for you. Mine was practice. Then once you get that done, go over the requirements and hit every point asked. Then move on to...

    VA Onboarding

    RosesrReder replied to German1968's topic in Government, Military

    I just turned mine in this evening. I ended up tearing each rubric apart and giving an example for each requirement. I did my paper in narrative form. I split each dimension up and worked on the...

    VA RN pay scales

    RosesrReder replied to IfeeloldRN's topic in Government, Military

    Extremely subjective but one thing for sure it is very difficult to come in as a nurse 3. Maybe things have changed but if I had to guess, I would say Level 2, step 4. I have been boarded twice....

    Got An Offer For Dayshift But Was Asked To Work Nightshift

    RosesrReder replied to yoon519's topic in General Nursing

    I would be more concerned about the 6 week delay due to being short-staffed and not having preceptors. That in itself if a HUGE warning sign. Then to bait and switch?

    Judgmental rant about time off

    RosesrReder replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect that somewhere down the line you will figure out the real truth and that what was told to you was hogwash. Move on. Jobs are abundant. Keep it moving and who cares what the real reason...

    Calculating Gov RN Pay Scale

    RosesrReder replied to medivac618's topic in Government, Military

    You are not on the GS pay scale. Nurses are title 38 employees. The onboarding and promotion process is very subjective. You won’t know where you fall until you apply and submit a proficiency to the...
