  1. Home Health - Is it worth the pay?

    PPediRN replied to michaellorenzo's topic in Home Health

    Wow! So, home health is paying LESS today than it was 15 years ago? What a slap in the face. You deserve better. Maybe try a rehab hospital. Pay is much better but it's hard

  2. Transgender/Non-Binary Students

    PPediRN replied to nurse__ab19's topic in School

    Good grief! This is what we're down to? I wonder how many I'll trigger with my comment? Have a nice day

  3. Home Health - Is it worth the pay?

    PPediRN replied to michaellorenzo's topic in Home Health

    Don't do it. I worked in home health for years. Big waste of time & money. NEVER again! You'll be charting at home, tearing up your car, & putting in more than 8 hours every day for a few...

  4. No References?

    PPediRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Are references a thing of the past? Just completed onboarding and they never asked for a reference from my previous

  5. Behavioral Interviews

    PPediRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What does everyone think about behavioral interviews? If you're not skilled at story telling then no job. Even if you check every box for qualifications & experience, it comes down to how good you...

  7. Who should decide?

    PPediRN posted a topic in Nursing News

    The story of Tinslee Lewis continues. What do you guys think?

  8. Weird Interview

    PPediRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Has anyone had an interview that was less than 10 minutes long? She only asked me 3 questions. First, tell me about yourself. Then she asked which shift I prefer and wanted to know my salary...

  9. COVID Vaccine Safety

    PPediRN posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    FDA releases data that it based its emergency use authorization for the Pfizer vaccine. Not good. Cumulative Analysis of Post-authorization Adverse Event

  10. Who should decide?

    PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Nursing News

    I agree. Some times the compassionate thing to do is to let nature take its course. In cases like this I believe family members want to hang on to their dying loved one to avoid the pain of having to...

  11. Weird Interview

    PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I believe she already had someone hired. Would have been nice to know that before I drove all the way over there. Oh well. In the end maybe I dodged a

  13. Improving Hospital Nurse Staffing Is Associated with Fewer Deaths from Sepsis

    PPediRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    They had to do a study to figure this out? Could have saved a lot of time & money by asking a couple of nurses. But what do we know other than how to count

  14. Transitioning out of Home Care Nursing

    PPediRN replied to brownm27's topic in General Nursing

    This is my pet peeve. A hospital who, in all likelihood, has a policy against giving out references EXPECTS you to provide a reference from your current or former employer before they will hire you....

  15. Minimum Wage????

    PPediRN posted a topic in Private Duty

    Orientation will be paid at MINIMUM WAGE??? Really? So this is what nursing has come down to. The abuse and disrespect of nurses continues. Um no thanks. I'm actually a professional not a high school...

  16. Minimum Wage????

    Good for you for walking away. Don’t ever agree to orient for

  17. Minimum Wage????

    PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Private Duty

    So you were basically treated like a volunteer. That’s shameful. I would have walked away. But it SHOULD be

  19. On-the-spot hiring event

    PPediRN posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I’ve been invited to an interview at an on-the-spot hiring event. Has anyone ever been to one? What is it like?

  20. On-the-spot hiring event

    PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It was ok. Applicants were called into an interview room one at a time. There were 4 interviewers who asked behavioral questions. I got really nervous. No job offer for me ? So the job search ?...

  22. Arkansas Job market

    PPediRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering what the job market is like in Little Rock. Are nurses a dime a dozen like it is here in Texas? Do hospitals demand BSN only? Any info would be appreciated.

  23. Old nurse in pediatrics

    PPediRN posted a topic in Pediatric

    I would like to know how younger nurses would feel about a much older nurse working in pediatrics. For example, if your child were hospitalized would you be ok with a much older nurse caring for your...

  24. Old nurse in pediatrics

    PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Pediatric

    Ruby jane They did indeed. It was obvious that she was alluding to my age. Hate to hear you lost out on the ED residency. Frustrating I know. I do have PALS. Maybe I should consider a facelift?? Just...

  25. Old nurse in pediatrics

    PPediRN replied to PPediRN's topic in Pediatric

    NICU guy True, but I can't picture an interviewer in their 20's asking another nurse in their 20's the above question. Thanks for your
