  1. Is money everything in this profession?

    But if you didn't have your husband, all of that kinda goes out the
  2. ^ I've never heard that saying before LOL! but I'm stealing
  3. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    for the next few years, my luxury is paying off my school
  4. We'd like to offer you the position but............

    sorry then it seems like it's you, not them, if you are having this much difficulty with all your interviews. Maybe it's your interviewing
  5. Double Shifts

    I'm not a fan of doubles, nor those 12 hr shifts. I'd rather just work the 5 days of 8 hrs than do 3 or 4 days then off the rest of the week...which is spent recouping from said 12 hr
  6. Double Shifts

    I know you can be mandated but isn't there some flexibility involved? ie, please work a double for us and you can come in half a shift tomorrow/take off tomorrow, etc. (OK I'm exaggerating some...
  7. Is money everything in this profession?

    I took an oath at pinning. And I don't recall anything about financials in it. In fact, I looked over my pinning ceremony itinerary and the oath is printed in the back. nowhere does it say I'm...
  8. Bingo. Misery loves company. It's not just a saying, it's actually true. I ignore messy dramatic people. I leave my problems at home, and I expect to have the same courtesy from my co-workers. I'm...
  9. Is money everything in this profession?

    I said it before, and I'll say it again...the people who go into this with that so-called 'true calling' from a higher power are going to surely be disappointed. No, money isn't everything but it...
  10. Still no ATT or IP

    LOL I can't tell if you're being facetious or if you really thought the OP was talking about
  11. Nurse Resigns by Sending 'I Quit' Cake to Her Employer

    and it's every hiring manager's nightmare. she'd have to have some really good connections to work anywhere
  12. Refusing to float

    At my place, we keep a log of pulled nurses. So if on Saturday (cause it usually happens on weekends when no one is there) I get pulled, I come on on Sunday, it'll be your turn, then if it continues...
  13. Refusing to float

    Also, the onus is on your manager to speak up for your floor. I worked on Oncology, low census but high acuity (which the house supervisors obviously didn't care about), and on weekends, one of our...
  14. New Rule: No work bags allowed in ER

    that's so sexist...why can't guys get the clear handbags too? sidenote: I wear a fanny pack. it mostly houses pens...cause apparently I manage to lose at least 3 every shift. and post-its. I'm only...
  15. EpiPens....who knew?

    Actually it's not. what is being said is that if you are someone or have loved ones you know require epis, you're going to be wiser to pick an insurance plan that would cover it. And also wiser to...
  16. A simple reminder of why we do what we do, for everyone to reflect

    Talk about an overly dramatic Oscar-bait screen play. I cringed reading it and the thing is, I kinda knew I would just by reading the title
  17. EpiPens....who knew?

    You mean the same thing would happen with an epi pen that's within its expiry time-frame if stepping outside into a different environment than your home would be that much of a difference to render...
  18. Nurse Resigns by Sending 'I Quit' Cake to Her Employer

    Not this one, but send me a resignation on a Carvel and I am digging IN. I'll even kindly request that the employee put extra chocolate crunchies
  19. Nurse Resigns by Sending 'I Quit' Cake to Her Employer

    Uh, if you speak ill of something or someone, whether it's true or not, it's considered
  20. Balloon deflating post catheter insertion

    ^ True story: worked one time where a mentally handicapped patient kept being restless with no other issues. He kept pointing to the foley. So we're all thinking it's just something he's not used...
  21. Sure, if they want lawsuits. The trend has been to eliminate LPN's from hospitals. You get rid of RN's, you're not going to replace them with
  22. I think you (and ann) are thinking that average means adequate - and maybe for some regions of the USA that is true, but a place like Boston I imagine would be akin to NYC where 200K is considered...
  23. Lost my cool

    People like that definitely exist, but reading op's opening post, I get the feeling that maybe she wasn't very stern or direct in her response, and possibly gave mixed signals. I have no problem...
  24. Nurse stealing narcs advice

    Which in this case we have neither. LOL. I would hate to be OP's co-worker. But I love it when people run into versions of themselves. I see that happen a
