  1. NS and kiddos/how to get any studying done?

    dannibeeRN replied to melrey1988's topic in General Students

    Studying with little ones around is NOT an easy thing to do. I started nursing school with a 2 (almost 3) year old and I was pregnant with my second child. My oldest never gave me problems so the...

  2. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    dannibeeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Oooh, if that would have happened to me when I was young and single, I would have taken him up on his offer if he was cute! I would just make sure to let a close friend (or two) know where I

    dannibeeRN replied to MyCityLights's topic in Telephone Triage

    It's not exaggerated because I've seen her pay stub. She works

  5. Can I get a job in California ?

    dannibeeRN replied to cupquake's topic in General Nursing

    Atherton is a beautiful area. The cost of living is off the hook but you'll be in the middle of good schools and beautiful scenery. I used to work in that area until about 7 months ago and the best...

  6. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    dannibeeRN replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The most offensive thing I've heard was not really directed towards me but it still hurt my feelings. This happened when I was a young CNA working in LTC about 15 years ago. We had the sweetest...

  7. Hourly Pay in Bay Area

    dannibeeRN replied to MyCityLights's topic in Telephone Triage

    I have a friend who works as an advice nurse in the east bay and makes $87 an hour at Kaiser. She has about 2 years experience as an LVN and 2 years as an RN. Cost of living is typically higher in...

  8. Kaiser Advice Nurses: Do any of you work from home?

    dannibeeRN replied to APRN.'s topic in Telephone Triage

    There is a series of phone interviews and computer tests you have to pass. I think we are all still waiting to hear when we will be scheduled for the final on site

  12. state school in CA vs. prestigious school

    dannibeeRN replied to dcwang's topic in General Nursing

    Take the easiest and cheapest route to get the best education. If someone is going to fully pay for your education, then by all means take advantage of what the prestigious school has to offer. My...

  13. Two day orientation only

    dannibeeRN replied to SusieN RN's topic in General Nursing

    Two days is not enough IMO. You will likely need a little extra time to get back up to speed of the crazy world of floor nursing and two days won't cut it. A month, as you've requested, should be...

  14. How do you deal with demanding/unreasonable patients?

    dannibeeRN replied to empatheticRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't feed into their drama or neediness. I let them know I am there to help them and give them what they NEED but that I also have other patients to care for so they may have to wait a bit before I...

  15. Need interview help

    dannibeeRN replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on getting an interview! I seem to always ace interviews and I think it's because I simply like to talk to people. Practice your active listening skills when listening to what the interviewer...

  16. The FIT Nurse

    dannibeeRN replied to NN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, PCOS has been my enemy for about 15 years now. Losing weight (and keeping it off) is just as easy as finding a needle in a haystack. I know you're still very young but before you open your...

  17. florida or california?

    dannibeeRN replied to confus's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked in both California and Florida. Cali is the better choice. Of course I'm biased because I live here in

  18. Accepted RN position as rotating shifts but after I accepted they changed shifts

    dannibeeRN replied to jenny966's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely let your supervisor know. You took the job based on what they told you about having rotating shifts. It's not fair that they've changed things on you. I was also hired for rotating...

  19. New hire at nursing home question!!!

    dannibeeRN replied to kh02050's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, congrats on the new job! I would follow up with your new employer about orientation at least 2 weeks prior to your start date. I ran into a similar situation recently and there was a...

  20. Second job

    dannibeeRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am looking for second job to help knock out my student loans. I already work full-time (3-12 hour shifts) on an extremely busy telemetry floor so I would like to find a second job where I'm NOT...

  21. do you have a previous degree?

    dannibeeRN replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I received a Bachelor's in Health Science prior to getting my nursing degree. I've wanted to be a nurse since I was 5 years old but I chose Health Science because the university I went to had an...

  22. A VERY frustrated nurse

    dannibeeRN replied to RNnewbie2014's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What you're going through is all a part of being a new nurse. I'm sure many of us have had similar experiences. The biggest issue for me was learning to delegate. I was a CNA for 6 years before I...

  23. Black and Job Hunting

    dannibeeRN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm sorry that we're in 2015 and still dealing with race issues. I am so grateful to live in California when it comes to matters like this. I'm sorry to the OP and hope she can find employment soon....

  24. Wow, these patients are SICK!

    dannibeeRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Last year, I returned to bedside nursing after working in an outpatient cardiology clinic and stress testing lab for two years. I'm on a telemetry floor and my patients seem so much more complex then...

  25. Huge over supply of nurses

    dannibeeRN replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    There is only such a backup of nurses because of the state of our economy. A couple of years before I graduated from nursing school, I kept hearing that the older nurses weren't retiring like they...
