  1. When an employer asks 'what's the lowest wage you are willing to accept'...

    Nola009 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    What would you say as a new (ADN RN) graduate ? Especially when you have student loans that will need to be paid on very soon ? I have been offered one job at a 'skilled' unit of a post-hospital care...

  4. New grad working two RN jobs?

    Nola009 replied to 01kiara's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take both. I wouldn't quit the first gig anytime soon,

  5. Which job would be a better fit for a new grad?!

    Nola009 replied to scnurse1020's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why wouldn't you go with what you're more interested in? Sorry, but I don't see the

  6. Liberia: Nurses Abandoned Redemption Hospital

    Nola009 replied to Been there,done that's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At this time, with the info I have, no. As far as I know, there are still unanswered questions as to modes of transmission of the different strains and all of the precautions necessary to avoid...

  7. Liberia: Nurses Abandoned Redemption Hospital

    Nola009 replied to Been there,done that's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unfortunately, I don't think I could sign up for that job. If the hospital didn't provide proper protective equipment, then it's their own fault staff walked

  8. Should I accept this job?

    Nola009 replied to ackbar's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wouldn't. I'm still less than a year in. Out of desperation, I took a job at a SNF that is outwardly beautiful, but treats nursing staff like expendables. Hardly any orientation. They want us to do...

  11. Working at a crazy SNF...

    Nola009 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This place is poorly run. The couple years old public reviews say its great, but we have new management now. The management is inexperienced, snotty, and rude. She's simply not approachable. I do...

    Thanks everyone for your

  13. Nursing School Incivility

    Nola009 replied to amw79's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe there's more to this than you are saying, but it sounds like the "real world". Not everyone's nice and not everyone's your idea of fair. I don't think hospital nurses get PAID to precept you,...

  14. Hospital will not hire smokers

    Nola009 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What I see is that smoking is indisputably unhealthy for the individual smoking and those around the second-hand smoke. They are asking that their healthcare employees NOT openly engage in self-harm....

  15. Hospital will not hire smokers

    Nola009 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    In my area, most healthcare employers won't hire smokers, or are in the process of adopting that rule. I think it's acceptable expectation. The thing that concerns me a bit more is that some of these...

  16. Job offer, background check/drug screen done..then "crickets"

    Nola009 replied to Lucky724's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow, that is weird. Bring your written offer with you and see HR. On a side note, do you really wanna work for a company that has such little regard for you? If you get no definitive answers, at least...

  17. Would you hold Metformin fot a BS level of 149

    Nola009 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I personally wouldn't. Then again, I am a new nurse. We all know that normal BS levels are 60-100. So, the paitent was hyperglycemic. My supervisor told me to hold the Metformin for this BS reading "...

  18. Would you hold Metformin fot a BS level of 149

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't either, and I think the nm is very inexperienced and crazy uninformed.--- but, "she has a great personality!!!" And that's why she was promoted. That's the scoop. I was new, realize I have a...

  19. Working at a crazy SNF...

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The last time I worked there (& like I said, I rarely work there bc the management is horrible and unsupportive in my opinion), so when I got report from this nurse who's been there for a few...

  20. Do Nurses Get Traffic Tickets?

    Nola009 replied to rachelita's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like even though cops and nurse's job descriptions are totally different, we can relate based on crazy interactions with the public. I've said---we are like cousins! That being said, I have...

  22. Assumptions

    Nola009 replied to Isitpossible's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, might it be that you look young for your age?? I don't assume I know the title of anyone. Where I work, there is a mixture of races holding various positions. If you were white, or whatever,...
