  1. Negotiating Call-Should I try?

    Palmetto_Nurse replied to Palmetto_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your reply. From the conversation I had with the PACU nurse manager today, I gathered (did not ask) that all staff is required the same amount of call. I am PRN in PACU in a smaller...

  2. Negotiating Call-Should I try?

    Palmetto_Nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    In your experience, can a nurse negotiate how much on-call time is worked? I was pretty heavily recruited for a job today, a PRN position I am well-qualified for, but the time required for call seems...

    I totally agree. See my post. I haven't dealt with it in years. *shrugs

  5. Poop Free Nursing Jobs in the Hospital?

    Palmetto_Nurse replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I think you're pretty bad ass for not only being honest about how you feel, but also standing firm on what you want/don't want out of your chosen profession. I hate dealing with BMs...

  6. What are the benefits and disadvantages of home health nursing?

    Palmetto_Nurse replied to grwnprincess's topic in Home Health

    I'm in a similar situation as you! (Well, except without the kids.) I am at a point in my life where my circumstances require me to have flexibility with my work. I recently shadowed a HH nurse who...

  7. Paper charting?

    Palmetto_Nurse replied to RN_Mommy_2_3's topic in Home Health

    Hi, Mommy_2_2. Have things gotten any better for you? I am an experienced RN considering home health per diem, but so many posters' comments are making me have second thoughts. I really, REALLY need...

  8. Hospital-based HH company vs. national HH company

    Palmetto_Nurse replied to Palmetto_Nurse's topic in Home Health

    Hmm. I didn't think of it that way regarding working for a hospital-based agency. You stated that compensation is comparable with hospital work. Does you mean pay is higher or that how nurses are paid...

    Palmetto_Nurse posted a topic in Home Health

    Are there any advantages and/or disadvantages of working for a hospital's own HH company versus working for a large national HH company not affiliated with a hospital? I shadowed a home health nurse...

  10. PRN status question

    Palmetto_Nurse replied to Palmetto_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I thought. Thank you for your insight. I think I will post a follow up question re. individual STD which I'm sure is outrageously

  11. PRN status question

    Palmetto_Nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can a nurse who has PRN staus purchase short term disability if the nurse's employer offers it? Or is short term disability a full time benefit

  12. PRN status question

    Palmetto_Nurse replied to Palmetto_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, batmik. I was PRN for over 8 years with my previous job and never thought twice about benefits. My husband carries our health and dental insurance and I was still able to contribute to my...

  13. Any advice for a nurse in limbo?

    Palmetto_Nurse replied to nursalicious's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely those jobs exist! One example is an outpatient/ambulatory surgery center. That is a wonderful, stimulating job if she doesn't mind waiting a little while to snag one as they are, in my...
