  3. St. mary's in Knoxville

    bloviate replied to DhornRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    That's a typical reply for someone who is in DENIAL not to mention poor logic. The logic, "because it's good for me it should be good for everyone." Go away from my

  4. St. mary's in Knoxville

    bloviate replied to DhornRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    That is a giant multifloored, multidisciplinary morass of liability IMO. Be damn happy you're out of there and celebrate. Again, I am delighted not to have continued working there. I've never felt my...

  5. St. mary's in Knoxville

    bloviate replied to DhornRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Yeah. The whole system went to hell in a handbasket. I'm just avoiding the whole mess. It's just a poor system to work for IMO. When Mercy came in and took over things went downhill rapidly and I...

    bloviate replied to honeyjen's topic in Philippines

    You must be tripping. I've worked at the black hole in Sebring po dunk Florida and I wouldn't do it again. There's a nasty nursing supervisor there named RoXXXX who will throw you under the bus in a...

  10. Corrections Nurse in OHIO

    bloviate replied to momof1son's topic in Ohio Nursing

    It's mostly like working in a doctors office. Lots of blood draws, physicials, med passes for subtances that they don't want on the compound, routine health screenings, sick call for minor complaints....

  11. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    bloviate replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Why stop telling the truth. The educational model stinks. Doesn't 1/10th what it needs to in order to prepare you. Half the instructors are nimrods or worse yet bullies. Then there were the people who...

  12. phone calls no outsider would believe

    bloviate replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

    I started answering that question by saying, "We are slam full right now with people in the waiting room" while I had my feet propped on the desk drinking my 15th cup of coffee and playing

  13. What company do you use?

    bloviate replied to Ragan's topic in Travel

    Good point you made here. Check with other companies. They'll start bidding when they know you're informed and ready to negotiate a contract. Never trust a recruiter. They work for the company and...

  17. Was anyone a not so great High School student and become a GREAT college student?

    bloviate replied to emndarmic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated high school with a 1.7 GPA. I graduated from nursing school (after switching from engineering) with a 3.77. I think desire and interest will take you a long ways in

  18. I'm sick to my eyeballs of incompetent agency nurses.

    bloviate replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in General Nursing

    the fact that agency nurses are given the least desirable assignments seems acceptable to me... for one, they are getting paid much much more then staff, and two, they are NOT staff, they are agency,...

  22. Tricked and Ticked off about it

    bloviate replied to bloviate's topic in Travel

    It goes beyond that they have enough staff. This was a deliberate move by the critical care section of this particular facility to go to a closed unit system (except if you're a traveler) and shuffle...

  23. Tricked and Ticked off about it

    bloviate replied to bloviate's topic in Travel

    Agreed. I want to make sure that other travelers aren't sucked into a mess like this. Funny, I told the recruiter not to bother me again unless she had a unit of assignment and a percentage of the...

  24. Tricked and Ticked off about it

    bloviate replied to bloviate's topic in Travel

    Nah, I just thought I'd whine a little here and meekly go back into the job and do what I's told like a good boy. OF COURSE I DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire...
