  1. Day in the life of an AF nurse?

    Jetman replied to Jetman's topic in Government, Military

    As you can see, I haven't had much response with this thread. I graduated nursing school with a guy who was getting his BSN through the Navy. They paid his tuition and full salary just to go to...

  2. MD, DO, NP, DC, OD -- Who deserves the title PCP?

    Jetman replied to RMARTINNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am an RN working in an ER that utilizes the services of NPs alongside MD's. NPs are NOT working in the same scope of practice as me. They order and interpret lab work, xrays, etc. They prescribe...

  3. Why aren't we unionized?

    Jetman replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

    I was completely aware of the wages before I got into nursing, thank you very much. My point was that alot can be accomplished when a group comes together and works together for a common cause....

  4. We make as much as maids

    Jetman replied to TRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a Tenet hospital last year. CEO's salary in 2002 was 116.4 MILLION dollars or $22,785/hr. Was this ONE man really worth all that money?...

  5. Why aren't we unionized?

    Jetman replied to leslieanne's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100%. At a major package delivery service in my town, the drivers make $25/hr to deliver packages. I make less than $18/hr working in the ER where we save lives. Their health insurance is...

  6. Question about Hypothermia

    Jetman replied to MaleAPRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I work in an ER and this week I had an interesting case dealing with severe hypothermia. An elderly person spent two days and nights outside after falling. (night time temp dipping to 40-41 degrees...

  7. Becoming a CRNA

    Jetman replied to mwbeah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Mike, Just curious if you know if the Air Force has the same problem filling their yearly quota. I am prior enlisted Air Force and now have 3 yrs ER experience and have researched going to CRNA...

  8. Nurses leaving in droves...

    Jetman replied to Trauma-tizedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely. If I hear about 5 STAR SPIRIT one more time, I going to puke. Administrators waste a ton of money on such piddly things. I work in an 11 bed ER that can get pretty busy at times...

  9. Having to work Holidays:(

    Jetman replied to altomga's topic in General Nursing

    This year I am scheduled to X-mas eve and day and I have a small child. I understand that nurses have to work holidays, what I don't like is the fact that my hospital decided just this year that...

  10. Incentive pay to work in the ER

    Jetman replied to Jetman's topic in Emergency

    I certainly did not mean to step on any toes and believe that all nurses are underpaid for what we do. We would not even be asking for the incentive if it was not being given to the Cath lab nurses....

  11. On-Call Pay

    Jetman replied to nellie_nurse812's topic in Operating Room

    These all sound pretty good. I am an ER nurse so I don't take call but my wife is an L&D nurse and she takes call 1-2 times a month. She gets $2/hr with straight time if called in. Salary is also...

  12. Addressing doctors by their first names

    Jetman replied to trauma_junkie1's topic in General Nursing

    Another shining example of administration run amok. I work in an ER that can become quite busy with many patients LWBS. To reduce the number of LWBS or AMA, Admin suggested we keep 4 rooms open...
