  1. MBA after MSN

    dannibeeRN replied to AUSTINCBR1's topic in Nurse Management

    I plan to go this route also. My end game is to start a nursing related business though, so the MBA will be

  2. Am I able to get a raise once I get my BSN?

    dannibeeRN replied to nightflower's topic in General Nursing

    It varies per facility. We get a 2% raise for

  3. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    dannibeeRN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I get paid well for what I do but no I don't go out and party like it's 1999. Wait...we've passed that year already. Anyhoo, I work too hard taking care of patients to see it all go to waste on...

  4. What States Pay the Highest and Lowest Nursing Salaries

    dannibeeRN replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Cali has also been good to me! My stats are the same as yours except I work 3 12s a week. I live very comfortably in the East Bay Area with my husband and kids. We close on a new house next week and...

  5. I'm afraid that I will never become a nurse and be stuck with 11k in loans

    dannibeeRN replied to Keracee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I became a CNA in 2000 during my summer break from the university I was attending at the time. The program was 3 months long and I didn't have to miss any of my college course work at all because of...

  6. Pill Cutter Cleaning

    dannibeeRN replied to ctracy4403's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this solves the problem for crushing pills but not for cutting them in halves or fourths with a pill cutter. I think every patient should have their own pill

  7. I'm afraid that I will never become a nurse and be stuck with 11k in loans

    dannibeeRN replied to Keracee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you ever thought about taking a CNA course while you're saving up for nursing school? Working as a CNA will bring in solid money, give you lots of experience working with patients, and help you...

  8. I'm afraid that I will never become a nurse and be stuck with 11k in loans

    dannibeeRN replied to Keracee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your mom sounds like all her funds are strapped with all those mouths she has to feed! Give your mom a break. You should focus on finding the cheapest program available in your area and work a...

  9. Hollistic Health Assessment

    dannibeeRN replied to #proudtobeanurse's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I am taking the class that starts on 2/29 also. Lets keep in

  10. Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    dannibeeRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    THIS was the part in the series where I knew Jackie was gone and couldn't be helped. Her addiction had totally consumed her. It gave me chills when she tricked her sponsor and turned her in to rehab...

  11. Should I stay or go? 1st Year RN wanting to quit without another job in place.

    dannibeeRN replied to pthelper777's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I had to leave the previous position because of the distance from my home and because I had no one to watch my kids at night (husband also worked nights). Because of these facts, I was eligible for...

  12. Oh, you quirky night shifter you!

    dannibeeRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    It is a well known fact that some people are nocturnal by nature and I just so happen to be one of THOSE people. Of course I work on the night shift as an RN and I wouldn't have it any other way. Day...

  13. Should I stay or go? 1st Year RN wanting to quit without another job in place.

    dannibeeRN replied to pthelper777's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have been in your shoes and I took the best way out for my situation, I resigned. It was the best thing I have ever done because I was able to stay home for 8 months and be a stay at home mom and...

  14. New license expires a month later

    dannibeeRN replied to nursejoti84's topic in California Nursing

    Is your birthday in

  15. Can you talk some sense into me?

    dannibeeRN replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Take the money...I mean...the new job.

  16. I took the plunge...it feels weird

    dannibeeRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations to you! Sometimes we just have to make that leap of faith decision. I made mine back in May. I left a job that was too far from my home. I had been working for that hospital system for...

  17. Going back to school at 30 to become a RN -- need advice!

    dannibeeRN replied to Jaimer1's topic in General Nursing

    I say take the route that fits into your personal financial plan. Take the ADN route if you are trying to keep your education costs low and stay out of debt. I would, however, suggest you secure a job...

  18. Oh, you quirky night shifter you!

    dannibeeRN replied to dannibeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, it's difficult when you only have one day off between shifts. Do you work

  19. Oh, you quirky night shifter you!

    dannibeeRN replied to dannibeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this was definitely me! Although next time I'll have to wear dark sunglasses to complete my outfit

  20. Oh, you quirky night shifter you!

    dannibeeRN replied to dannibeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true! I just recently landed an awesome position on a progressive care unit (whoop whoop!) from 1900-0730. For orientation, I had to work two day shifts (today was my second day) and six...

  21. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    dannibeeRN replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

    I left my last job because they kept scheduling me for weekends even though we were only required to work 4 weekend days every 6 weeks. At the interview I purposely let the panel know I could not work...

  22. Oh, you quirky night shifter you!

    dannibeeRN replied to dannibeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never really researched this topic but I figured there was some sort of genetic component involved in my nocturnal-ness (you like that word, don't ya lol). My dad is still a night owl in his early...

  23. Oh, you quirky night shifter you!

    dannibeeRN replied to dannibeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol @ "dayest shift ever!" It's funny because my husband is the opposite of me and works best in the day. He is a LEO and he recently tried a 6 month stint on nights (1800-1830) and he was not able to...

  24. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    dannibeeRN replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    It's not? I beg to differ. A large part of what we do is teach. I hope you're referring to teaching
