1. Nursing jobs with a sign on bonus question

   RCBR replied to imapsychrn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

   My guess is that the bonus will be paid in bi-weekly installments over the two year period. They will divide the bonus over the number of pay periods and credit the amount on each of your paycheck...

2. Burned out and hate nursing

   RCBR replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

   All you fellow RNs there belittling, trashing medical-surging nursing, encouraging people to leave, praising nursing specialties with minimal patient/family interaction... so sad. How about when YOU...

3. Best City to Work/ Have a Career in

   RCBR replied to Junebug0710's topic in General Nursing

   Not St Louis or anywhere in MO. New grad pay here starts @ 19.50 with the best hospitals (Washington University's Barnes Jewish) paying $20.80. Very, very depressing, even though cost of living in...

4. Charting...what to say?

   RCBR replied to chrisrn24's topic in General Nursing

   Don't get too hung up on the "I" thing. There are much worse charting sins you can commit. Take your cue from physician notes; they use "I" all the time, as pointed by another poster here. The issue...

5. Losing respect for nursing students

   RCBR replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

   I am RN now but I could go back a couple of months to my nursing school days and start a thread in the same vein about the view point from the other side: nursing students losing respect for licensed...

6. New nurse with job that is causing anxiety and depression

   RCBR replied to nurseGi's topic in First Year After Licensure

   "It is rough out there right now and most units who are hiring now and especially who are hiring new grads are less than stellar themselves." So very true. The good units have low or no tunover, thus...

7. What Kind of Patients Do You LIKE Most?

   RCBR replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   The ones who turn off the TV, the cell phone, the laptop, put down the book and magazine and suspend the third party conversation when I walk into the room. In summary, those patients who respect my...

8. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

   RCBR replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

   Are you for real??? Universities award bachelor degrees. Community colleges award associate degrees. They are not the same degree. Please approach reality. I cannot believe you think that 2 and 4 year...

9. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

   RCBR replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

   They are not equivalent, but more education means more qualification and more qualification should mean more pay, in my books at least. Now, even though that is what I think is fair, I do not...

10. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    RCBR replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    My point is that your point that exact same job should equal exact same pay ("Why should you get paid more if you're doing the exact same job?") doesn't hold water, as even you acknowleged that more...

11. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    RCBR replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    "Why should you get paid more if you're doing the exact same job?" Good point, if it was true. Pick any 10 staff nurses in any single hospital floor. They are all doing the exact same job but they are...

12. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    RCBR replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I am in St Louis, MO and will start as a new grad next month @ $21.00/hr working full time in acute care for the largest health system in the region. I also got an offer from the number 2 hospital...

13. Nobody told me that after graduation...

    RCBR replied to smclean27's topic in General Nursing

    Your story is so sad. I really feel for you because I was in the exact same boat. Full-time dedicated BSN student in a top NS with good grades = guaranteed GN offer from major teaching hospital upon...

14. Am I being offered a fair pay?

    RCBR replied to AussiRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    When you mention hourly pay you have to specify if you are getting benefits otherwise the comparisons are meaningless. Remove health benefits, pension deductions, disability insurance, paid vacations,...

15. Certified Nursing Assistants - The Nurses think we have it so easy.

    RCBR replied to hfullerCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    it seems that the point of the original post was simply to demonstrate that the role of the cna is more physically demanding than that of the rn. having worked on both roles, i think that is entirely...
