    Faeriewand replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes it happens in my hospital too. They are in a rush in the ED to make room and send patients up to telemetry. But those labs are the scariest I've ever seen! Good job advocating for the

    Paradise Valley Hospital vs. the Union

    Faeriewand posted a topic in California Nursing

    We have a bit of a struggle on our hands. The management is really smothering the nurses by posting security everywhere and making rounds to talk to everyone. I feel like I'm being watched everywhere...

    Faeriewand replied to Hdyoungrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I too need to finish my degree RN-BSN. I was checking out United States University since I would only have to do nursing classes and not a bunch more pre-reqs. Does anyone else know of a program that...

    Along the lines of the first thread, "Things you would love to say to your nursing instructors" I thought this would be a great thread to start. I've since graduated LVN but there was one main thing...

    How Does an RN make more in Sacramento than San Diego????

    Faeriewand replied to Scarpydooooo's topic in California Nursing

    I live in San Diego and work in National City. Pay is $29.hour with two years experience. (non-union) Hospitals here don't pay nurses well. And gas prices here are the highest in the nation. Go...

    We never have enough nurses at our hospital!

    Faeriewand posted a topic in California Nursing

    It seems that we never have enough nurses where I work and I'm working all the time to cover shifts but still they have to call in agency nurses. They've already hired new grads but need more...

    Is becoming a nurse really that bad?

    Faeriewand replied to luvmykids0810's topic in General Nursing

    The thing about nursing that you may not see is the load that you get from management, the policies, and the company line because every hospital is a business being run by a company that forgets there...

    Paradise Valley Hospital in National City. I was at UCSD today and the nurse there said that for every position they get over 200 applicants. It's easier to get a job at PVH because it's a small...

    Faeriewand replied to HarStarr's topic in General Nursing

    Star, try taking a nursing refresher course. With two years out of school, now would be the perfect time to re-learn anything you may have forgotten and update your nusing skills. There are courses...

    Faeriewand replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I like being a nurse and am glad I went into nursing. I would never want my daughter to become a nurse, the care is too personal and I don't want her to be treated like garbage. I would recommend...

    Giving up on California

    Faeriewand replied to ercastro2's topic in California Nursing

    Good decision! New grad jobs are hard to come by in CA. Moving out of state and then moving back once you get a solid job offer is the way to go IMHO. I've known several new grads with previous...
