    hope3456 replied to jrsRN07's topic in General Nursing

    hope3456 replied to HealthyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    such bureaucracy... (kind of a rant)

    hope3456 replied to BrooklynRN11201's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes nurses can start orienting on the unit and then get into the orientation class when it starts....that is BS that they don't tell you when your start date is, especially if it is 3-4 months...

    I don't know much about OR...why were you asked to leave? Would it have anything to do with the Dr. "liking" the LPN more? If you decide to report to BON I would be concurrently looking for another...

    hope3456 replied to Dreaming4acute87's topic in General Nursing

    From what I've read on other posts, LTC doesn't "count" in terms of pay grade going from LTC to acute care. You start out at new grad wages. Even if it is "Apple and oranges" there are a lot of...
