  3. Flexibility in your current NP job? Job Hunting Advice

    Wow that is a TON of driving! Glad you enjoy the position though. that would be a big issue for

  4. Negotiating new pay rate after contract signed

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Mrs Badcrumble's topic in Travel

    I’ll tell you what they told me after they increased the rate for my job by $1000/week. You signed the contract at that rate, which indicated that you were agreeable to the rate provided....

  5. Leaving current contract because half the staff are disrespectful

    StacyAtheNurse replied to astralseed's topic in Travel

    This is your second assignment so you likely got lucky with your first. People complain in the OR. I found myself telling people I was an agency nurse not a traveler (I am a local traveler) and that...

  6. Is seeing a pt in Preop really a must for OR nurses??

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Guest 1170770's topic in Operating Room

    I believe it depends on what infrastructure is available in your hospital. In my hospital, it is not necessary to see the patient in the preop. In fact, it would probably take you 10 minutes to walk...

  7. Call pay?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to lovey0830's topic in Operating Room

    That's what I'm talking about. You wouldn't have to beg people to take call if you would pay them appropriately. They have to remind people to be professional and cordial at my job when they post call...

  8. Pay Raises, Bonuses and Incentives: Where Are We?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital gave nurses (all employees got a stipend, but depending on your position, your stipend amount varied) $2,500, if you worked full-time hours for even one week during the covid surge....

  9. COVID-19: Stimulus Checks for Teachers?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to DallasRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are some interesting things to unpack here, but as a nurse married to a teacher (we will not be getting a stimulus as we do not live in that state), my husband was 100% working during the...

  10. NYP COLUMBIA TO CORNELL TRANSFER

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Taliegalvez's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey, you can park in Payton, or one of the other parking lots. Let me warn you though, it’s pricy, even WITH the discount. If you live in Manhattan you shouldn’t even waste your time with a...

  11. NYP COLUMBIA TO CORNELL TRANSFER

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Taliegalvez's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey, Im surprised you ask this here instead of to your coworkers, but lucky for you, I have done this before, twice. LOL Just apply though workday, do your interview, accept the offer if you like it,...

  12. FNP

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Kayleigh's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NPHub is an option. Google it. Good

  13. Advent Health University FNP

    StacyAtheNurse posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello everyone, I’ve been hoping to run into some FNP students at AHU. Does anyone attend the school and also visit this website? Hellllooooooooo out there

  14. Got my antibody test results

    StacyAtheNurse replied to bossfrog's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Had I known, we would have tried to get our vacation rescheduled. But I suppose that I’m saying that in retrospect. I honestly don’t even remember being concerned about COVID. I don’t remember...

  15. Got my antibody test results

    StacyAtheNurse replied to bossfrog's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I travelled to Africa and the middle east back in February. I remember seeing tons of people wearing masks in the airport, and did not know what was up, but I was so excited to go on my vacation, I...

  16. Nursing as a twenty one year old hispanic male

    StacyAtheNurse replied to gabe55605's topic in Men in Nursing

    I love my male nurses. I work in the OR and the majority of my coworkers are men. It makes for a rowdy lunchroom and front desk but I love

  17. Changing departments after a rough start.

    StacyAtheNurse replied to KatieRN29's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I don't think anyone has brought this to your attention, but there are several schools that accept PACU experience to satisfy their critical care component. I certainly know that in my hospital,...

  18. NYS NURSES UNION

    StacyAtheNurse replied to Edacosta's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Hello, we may be coworkers. Yes you will have tuition reimbursement as long as you have been employed for one full year. Depending on which of the facilities you work for, you may have uncapped...

  19. Do I have to join the Union?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to friendlylark's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I want to try to respond to this without being condescending or disrespectful. I’m sure one of the reasons you like this hospital is because of the pay, and the ratios. The union did that. The...

  20. Career Advancement for Perioperative Nurse?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to ki1717's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are plenty of programs that will let you in as long as you let them know what your plans are. My plan to become a surgical NP made my OR experience relevant and I made this clear when...

  21. Is finding a preceptor always hard?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to terfernay's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Before I accepted an offer for an NP school, I made sure I had two options to cover me for clinical placements, because I don’t have the patience, nor the tolerance for foolishness. My school gives...

  22. Career Advancement for Perioperative Nurse?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to ki1717's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I’m an NP student, I work in the OR and I absolutely love it. My dream is to become a first assist, and I’d also like the increased responsibility of being a practitioner. This is my second MSN...

  23. Call pay?

    StacyAtheNurse replied to lovey0830's topic in Operating Room

    We get 75% of base pay to be on call. Time and a half if you’re called in, 4 hour minimum. Being on call here is next to impossible though cause people snatch it up like hot buns, and surgeons make...

  24. Leaving NYC to become a Travel Nurse

    StacyAtheNurse posted a topic in Travel

    I was looking for some opinions. I am an RN in NYC. After traveling to NYC for my first travel assignment, I was offered a perm position and took it. I’ve been here for 5 years. I got married,...

  25. Leaving NYC to become a Travel Nurse

    StacyAtheNurse replied to StacyAtheNurse's topic in Travel

    Woah, 20 years, that’s very impressive. I own a duplex in the city, thankfully it’s a multi family and currently my entire extended family lives there. We could air bnb my portion, but the home...
