    vanilla bean replied to ksola's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Do NICU nurses attend high-risk deliveries at your facility? If so, try to make a good impression. Try to get to know them a bit. Be friendly and helpful. They may just be the ones that can assist you...

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    vanilla bean replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a great reason to have multiple per diem jobs; more opportunities to work one's desired shifts. I can't believe "Karen" didn't keep you in the loop with her employment plans. What could...

    vanilla bean replied to aspiringnurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    This is a *very* important factor to consider. I relocated to CA last year and knew I was moving to a competitive market but was still surprised that it took me a year *a year* to get a job. I have my...

    How many of you disinfect car after work?

    vanilla bean replied to PHC-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    It's excessive behavior. If you want to continue with this behavior, at least be consistent and wipe it all down after leaving your home and going out in public at all. Disgusting shopping carts, door...

    Am I the *******?

    vanilla bean replied to Seeing Myself Out's topic in General Nursing

    Is there no middle ground there that you can settle into between pretending it's your passion or being an "ungrateful a**hole"? I second what Sour Lemon said, as far as I'm concerned, I don't care if...

    She called my MOTHER!!!

    vanilla bean replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing
