I have been in similar situations due to having Crohn's. Some days are fine...some, not so much...when you’re ready to walk out the door for your shift, ON TIME, and your stomach says, “just...
Travel nurses usually work an 8-13 week contract. The money is better and the best part is that you don’t get sucked into the facility drama. Just search “travel nurse” and I’m sure...
The MABORN is ridiculous, period. I had been an RN for 7 years in NH when I applied for my MA license in 2013 and the ONLY reason I did, was because I needed to relocate to MA to care for my elderly...
As a CCRN for almost 18 years and a female Firefighter in the 90’s, complete with tattoos and an actual Harley, trust me when I tell you...no one gives a S$&T what you look like when you’re...

I’m pretty sure, from reading your words, that you’re doing just fine young Lady. Some seasoned nurses don’t like to be challenged, they consider that a threat. They are well aware that the...
JKL33, I agree, for sure and have spent several years trying to “hone in” on the only “needs improvement” piece of nearly every annual review I have received......apparently, I need to be...
I have had a similar "label" for years. I am never wishy washy, I am confident, not cocky. I have tattoos and have been riding Harley's since 1983. I will advocate for my patients as well as my...
First of all, I'm not trying to discourage you, scare you or be a jerk, but the BON is not your friend, so understand that. Get a free consult with an attorney, explain the situation and see what...
It may be different in NH/MA. There are fulltime paid positions in the Unions here. I'll keep researching it and hopefully find, at the very least, a Union nursing
I would like to be a Union Rep or Union Organizer, specifically for nurses. The ONLY positive about working as an RN in MA, was the Union. They make sure the ratios are reasonable, which is...
