  1. I turned down a management job

    Marisette replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you made the best decision for you. Managment jobs can be very stressful, unless it suits your personality. However, you sound very competent and we can use some good nurses in management....

  2. Quality dialysis outcomes or $$$

    Marisette posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Just wondering what the other chronic dialysis RN's think of the qulity goals for dialysis facilities. Goals for anemia, kt/v, phosphorus, albumin and so on. Do you think obtaining the quality goals...

  3. My manager went off on me!

    Marisette replied to mh356's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Stepford nurse, Hilarious! Maybe the manager was a little stressed here. It's o.k to be "reserved", no need to please everyone. The boss will get over this. This too shall pass, give it some...

  4. prn vs fulltime

    Marisette replied to rachelcrg's topic in Nursing Career

    I've been in a similar situation. You can't make everyone happy. It may be a little rude. But, it's more rude to commit to something you don't want to do, then not to follow through with you...

  5. I need some advise please.

    Marisette replied to OnEdge's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't understand the magnet status thing. But here is my two cents. No health insurance! Pay Sucks! Sounds like slavery. At 56, your still a long way from retirement. Look at the social security...

  6. Finally!!!!!

    Marisette replied to DizzyLizzyNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Congradulations! I'm sure your employer will understand. Their loss, if they can't find a position for their 10 year veteran. I don't see why you have to pay them back, but maybe that's a new...

  8. take a risk leaving stable job or stay?

    Marisette posted a topic in Nursing Career

  9. management not sensitive to bullying present on unit

    Marisette replied to sabatical's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it's best to confront the bully on her good day without her audience, when she least expects it. NOT a loud confrontation, but take this person aside. Remind her of her actions, let her know...

  10. New grad RN job with no connections?

    Marisette replied to jessRN6896's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi. I know it's hard but I believe you will find a job without connections. It's harder, but if you keep trying you will succeed. Try the hospital, clinics, long term care facilities even if the job...

  11. Follow my heart or mind (job offer)

    Marisette replied to SoulSpirit_Rn's topic in Nursing Career

    Just my opinion, but if you don't like the job, stay per diem. I understand the ecomonic situation but if your miserable doing the job, you may ultimately end up quiting anyway. Or worse, staying for...

    Marisette replied to Lucky724's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology
