    Should I take this job?

    Clovery replied to RNdonut's topic in General Nursing

    $19/hr? Is this a decent rate for your area? I assume you are an RN? I would worry about the drive home after working nights. I have never minded driving to work. I work 10 minutes from home now and...

    Work per diem at hospital while working full time at current job? Is it possible?

    Clovery replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Coming from an area with a similar nursing job economy, it has been my experience that hospitals aren't hiring per diem employees who have no experience in acute care. For a new-to-acute care nurse,...

    Jobs at Sarasota Memorial in Florida

    Clovery replied to J&B-RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I lived in Sarasota for a couple of years and I didn't like it much either. Unless you live out on one of the islands, it kinda feels like a New Jersey suburb (strip malls, traffic, and crowds) and...

    Clovery replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose I'm sensitive to criticism... I prefer to hear criticism coupled with something positive. Like "It was great how you did C but next time remember you need to do A before you do B". Or "you...

    Clovery replied to miscangelious's topic in General Nursing

    New RN Grad Hourly Wage

    Clovery replied to MissRN17's topic in General Nursing

    My best guess is $26-28/hr. Plus a shift differential for evenings or nights. Since this is your first RN job, take the job offer with the best experience you can get and don't focus so much on the...

    No experience, should I take a shift at a LTC facility?

    Clovery replied to bathrobemom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's just filling in for one shift? It will likely be just passing meds and doing treatments but the number of patients will be high. Did you get experience with documenting on a MAR in school? It...
