Is it even legal for them to hand out medications like that? It sounds like you were being interfered with.

It's not a "nurse" thing, it's a human thing.

Impetigo! Sounds like a heck of a summer, Al lol. Luckily, if I'm not mistaken, it is only contagious for 48 hours, and can easily be treated with a topical antibiotic. I remember having that as a child. Sounds like your summer isn't going to terribly bad, my friend. Hope all is well, and see you on the flip. Josh

Can I just say that I know you are sad about this situation. I honestly would not take it personal though. I think that he was just probably truly looking for someone that had a lot more experience. I agree that the way that he approached you seemed irregular, though. Please don't feel bad. There are lots of other jobs out there, and I know your going to find a good one. You seem like such a nice person, and I just don't want you to feel bad about this. Keep your head up!! :)

I'm almost hesitant to say this, but I'm thinking males may be considered before females. I may be wrong, but from what I am reading, it's a possibility.

Absolutely insane.

My goodness, you sound just like me. I guess you just gotta go for it, and make it work.

Couldn't you do home health care or some kind of travel/agency. You girls seem like you know what your doing. Besides, isn't it like riding a bike? My thoughts are with you....

O, ok lol.. I thought you were saying that there are some hospitals in Boston that only pay 10 bucks an hour for RNs. I nearly fainted. I'm originally from MA (western part), and I know how expensive it is up there, and I don't even think anyone can even live on that. You would have to literally work overtime every week just to have a roomie in a crappy apartment somewhere. Wshew, I knew it was getting bad on nurses, but that scarred me lol. Thanks for the clarification, Esme

They want a BSN, and they don't wanna pay for it. It's like going to a fine steakhouse and telling the waiter you want the best filet in the place but your not gonna spent more than 5 dollars.

Wait Wait Wait 10......Im sorry, did you say dollars? Or was I reading that wrong?

O , it's ok, I don't mind doing that. I know that after I get out of school, I'm gonna be looking for a job. I can go anywhere in the US, it's not an issue. I just want to start a family one day, and you can't do that without a paycheck, rite?

O dear,, I don't think I would like this experience very well. LOL

This may be an obvious question, but can you make the same money in the rural area hospitals as you would in the big city ones? If not, on average, how much less would be a good estimate? I'm just curious. I actually wouldn't mind living/working in some rural areas. Usually the cost of living is better there anyway. Thanks in advance my friends..

If they cancel your shifts, since your on contract, wouldn't they be obligated legally to still pay you? I'm not sure how it goes, but I would feel like since we have a contract, I'd want to be paid.
