  5. Price of Patient Satisfaction

    michlynn replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    How did a topic about patient satisfaction turn into an argument about whose got a bigger gauge needle? Get over yourselves. Hospitals can't function without all of the different specialties. Remember...

  6. Price of Patient Satisfaction

    michlynn replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    I once had a patient state that he would "strangle me if he could" (granted he weighed 650lbs and definitely could not get to me) but regardless our hospital supposedly has a "no tolerance" policy...

  7. Working weekends

    michlynn replied to dmich85's topic in Travel

  8. Failed a class - should I appeal??

    michlynn replied to ineedachange1's topic in Excelsior College

    You failed, there's nothing to appeal so that's on you. I wouldn't waste your time or energy because, you missed it by more than just a question or two so they aren't going to change your grade. Most...

  13. Travel Nurse Companies for New Grad?

    michlynn replied to CVU_RN's topic in Travel

    I'm slightly confused as to how you've been a nurse for 6 months when you stated in one of your old posts that you've just taken the NCLEX in June... Hmmm... Regardless, as a traveler you only get 2...

  14. What to do when u find an unresponsive patient

    michlynn replied to LucasNewGrad's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This post kind of blows my mind. First of all, the CNA should've pressed the code button in the room or called for help, that's one of the first things you learn in code situations, don't ever leave...

  15. Contract wording question -Any AMN travelers out there?

    michlynn replied to newbietravel's topic in Travel

    michlynn replied to Xar25's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This topic has been discussed more times than I can even count. Type it in the search bar in the top right and you'll find more than enough info. A little more education will never

  19. Any companies pay for rental cars?

    michlynn posted a topic in Travel

    The thought of traveling to Cali has never really crossed my mind because I really have no interest in driving 3,000+ miles across country but lately I've been feeling like I need to try out the west...

  21. Any companies pay for rental cars?

  22. Help! Travel nursing or fulfill a contract?!

    michlynn replied to teresagray's topic in Travel

    I would stay and fulfill the contract, $7,000 is a lot of money. If you're that miserable on the floor you're on see if your employer will let you switch to another floor for a year. You won't have as...

    michlynn replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
