2. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

   Bindy replied to Brian's topic in Relations

   OK...so I won't say the infamous saying but I will say I was treated horribly my first yr in med-surg....I left 10 mo's later and it took a good yr to gain self-respect. So now I work in ED and Tele and I use that experience to empathize and treat al...

3. Nurses and the 2008 election

   Bindy replied to Brian's topic in Talk Politics

   Personally, I don't think the "O" is the second coming and I see long gasoline lines and long health care lines in the future if he can help it. I feel he is the media's messiah but if you truly speak to your neighbors....you know, the one's that lik...

   Don't want to be totally discouraging, but....if there is not an offical precepting program for ER then do Med-Surg and/or Tele for at least...at least a year. Even with that under your belt,( I am talking from experience ) and having twelve yrs of E...

7. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

   Bindy replied to hope3456's topic in Activism

   Well, I think this thread has enough replys to gain some attention. Why don't we all group together and have a rally? They do it waiving there non-american flags. Oh...,but wait, we work...so I guess we don't have the time. Bindy:uhoh21:

8. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

   Bindy replied to hope3456's topic in Activism

   I believe in Immigration, just not the illegal "kind". I am a ER nurse, I do a lot of agency work so I circulate. I see so much of illegal immigrants that are flooding the ER's. Not only that but they demand to be seem in a real brazen way. They know...

9. RN Rates in Philadelphia area Poll

   Bindy replied to Bindy's topic in Pennsylvania

   SO far this thread is going O.K. The last nurse hit on target when he said remember the gas and parking. Right now I am doing agency, looking to do staff again and started interviewing. Berks County paid the lowest, probably because there aren't many...

10. RN Rates in Philadelphia area Poll

    Bindy replied to Bindy's topic in Pennsylvania

    Well...in all due respect, don't answer it. If you don't want to know if your making a rate on the bottom, middle or top of the barrel, then don't reply. I have many discussions with colleagues about rates....and I am just a little 'ol RN with no tie...

    Hi to all Pennsylvanian RN's. I want to take a poll. If you care about your salary and future and don't want to work as a missionary....then take a minute and share salary info. Just a simple poll, what is the average rate RN's are making out there. ...

15. Mercy Hospital - West Philly

    Bindy replied to angshallad's topic in Pennsylvania

    I worked in this ED....you may want to take it very slow. ED is not an easy environment BUT this one takes the cake. I met other old ED "misery" nurses, not one of us stayed more than a year. You can e-mail me privately and then I will touch base wit...
