  1. Nurse with side business

    AppleRN4 replied to ohionurse33's topic in General Nursing

    Most hospitals don't want you using patients/hospital clientele to advance your business, and in that regard, it's unethical to hand out these cards at work, or even contact patients you meet at work...

  2. Advice on furthering education

    AppleRN4 replied to DeliveryRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I'm not demeaning your experience; Kudos to you for having been in nursing for 2 years- that's great! As for me, an ER travel nurse with only 6 years experience, I realize that I have more...

  3. ER Nursing vs Floor Nursing

    AppleRN4 replied to RN_survivor's topic in General Nursing

    AppleRN4 replied to DeliveryRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    Call it hating or whatever you want, but wherever your career takes you, you'd realize that experience is what defines you as a good nurse, not classroom

  5. Advice on furthering education

    AppleRN4 replied to DeliveryRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    How does my honesty offend you? I clearly stated that new grads who rush to advanced degrees to get away from the ugly side of nursing **** me off- if that doesn't apply to you, then why are you...

  6. New Travel RN, looking for advice on companies

    AppleRN4 replied to yogalove's topic in Travel

    Lol, trust me Tango, you wouldn't take the recruiter I had. She never listened and was too quick to say 'no' to whatever I needed. At some point, I had to draw the line based on her lack of...

  7. Advice on furthering education

    AppleRN4 replied to DeliveryRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that ticks me off is new grads who immediately want to rush into grad school to avoid dealing with the ugly side of nursing. I usually have no respect for them, not because I don't value...

  8. I need more money.

    AppleRN4 replied to rn2bsn's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you work hard on that floor, and should definitely be compensated for all you do, but you'd never get a raise/anywhere without demanding it. If after you make your needs known to your...

  9. New Travel RN, looking for advice on companies

    AppleRN4 replied to yogalove's topic in Travel

  10. What is a good California travel RN rate?

    AppleRN4 replied to leemali79's topic in Travel

    Whatever company gave you this rate, you need to NEVER do business with them, and I repeat, NEVER. You are getting screwed, big time. I worked in LA Nov of last year with American Mobile (whom I was...

  11. Rude Interviewers - Common?

  14. Excited about starting to travel but spouse is getting nervous

    AppleRN4 replied to RW23RN's topic in Travel

    I'd say your husbands nervousness is legitimate, as I had the same fears leaving my house, worried about the same things your hubby worries about. First of all, make sure the money you'll be making on...

  16. New to traveling

    AppleRN4 replied to Archerchic's topic in Travel

    Most companies only require a yr experience, but the real question is are you ready to work in an ER with 16 months experience? I've found ER nurses to be blunt, direct, and assertive when you fail to...

    AppleRN4 replied to NYRN315's topic in Travel

    AppleRN4 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in Travel

    Yes, it's normal to pay all that money, however a good travel company reimburses the cost, as mine did for some of them. If they don't reimburse, you can deduct the cost in your taxes. Above all...

    AppleRN4 replied to burnoutward's topic in Travel

    Marikat, as a nurse with 6 years expereince in a very busy ER, my first 3 weeks on a travel assignment at Kaiser kicked my behind. First of all, I don't like Kaiser and their MAR system where you have...

  20. Is this a good offer in Cali???

    AppleRN4 replied to Sharmaine616's topic in Travel

    Sharmaine, $32/hr is not bad at all if they're providing your housing/you're taking the stipend. IF that $$ includes your housing stipend, then you've been
