Not if the hospital is a union hospital. Also I have never heard of hospitals paying less based on previous pay. Your current market dictates pay more than anything else as a staff nurse. Executive pay is a little different.

Hi HouTX! Can you please qualify the above. I live/work/play in a major city and the starting salary for an entry management position is about 110-118k. There's no chance for overtime unless you ascertain a second job which is very difficult since ...

Cali can you please share your age. Are you an older student or are you super young like the op? Thanks for your input btw

This question will be better served on SDN. A few points: 1) I personally would only work part-time while you complete your pre-med requirements. The general requirements are definitely doable but will require a lot of energy especially when you fac...

I work at a very prestigious hospital. This hospital regularly hires MHA/MBA graduates as clinical managers and directors with no clinical experience whatsoever (unless you count the administration fellowship/residency our hospital sponsors). The rea...

You honestly need to relax, you sound like a complete nut job. People's life experiences shape their beliefs, hence why people vote for different candidates. If you feel like Bernie and Hillary are not the candidates for you, then that is absolutely ...

This "study" will never take place, nursing organizations are too busy researching how nursing can be the most trusted profession for the 100th time in a row.

HouTX gave you some really good advice. It seems like you want your cake and eat it too. It's a myth that you can have a 'perfect career' and a "perfect" life. It seems that you are approaching an age where many women start questioning their decisio...

I am going to answer that question with a resounding no.

Why aren't you pursuing medicine? Btw if you do decide to pursue nursing definitely go for the BSN for all the reasons mentioned. CRNA 4 Years of College > 1-2 years ICU experience (assuming you can even get an ICU job right after college)> 2-...

Wow, I recently started a new HH gig. The job is prn, I have never done HH before, as all my experience is in acute care. I received three days (8-5) of field orientation and another day to complete a series of HR videos and HLCs. My director seems p...

I listen to public radio A LOT. Last week they had a discussion on Uber. A man actually called the show and commented on the fact that he knew several people who did the same exact thing you proposed above, and apparently they were doing very well be...

Too many to list. Simply Google "lateral violence nursing," and you will have the answer that you seek.

Really?

Well I guess we are in agreement then. I think the OP case is very obvious and whatever she signed is not a contract, But my post was for others who have signed similar contracts under more favorable conditions. The wording on these documents must...

Not exactly accurate again. I am kind of familiar with that case and in that case it is very relevant to point out the the person who originally filed the suit was an officer in California. That is, a PUBLIC employee. Federal law specifically allows...

Invitale, while the courts have made a distinction between paying for someone's formal education vs hospital/facility-based training (the expense of the latter is more difficult to recoup by the employer from the employee) and some courts have even u...

Courts have used terms like "indentured servant," when a penalty exist for breaking a contract that seems more punitive in nature than simply the hospital trying to recoup its cost. The author, a JD, does it when deconstructing a case on page 3 in th...

To the OP: Your contract” will not pass muster in the court of law and if you wanted to leave in the next hr, I wouldn't worry about it because of everything the previous posters mentioned. To everyone else who has signed a contract: Courts are ver...

Hey Klone! Not picking on you but I'm not sure how the website you provided is proof of a contract. Of course, the hospital is calling their required terms a "contract" but I can draft something right now, have two people sign it and call it a contra...

I'm not going to even pretend that I don't roll my eyes at the computer screen as I read some of the text found on AN. You can sense the condescending tone with every word that is being read from some of the members here. Have you guys ever played t...

1. Employment prospects are VERY tough for new attorneys. Way worst than new grad NPs IMHO. It's REALLY, really bad. (The Employment Rate Falls Again for Recent Law School Graduates - Businessweek Job market for would-be lawyers is even bleaker tha...

The fact that you want to own your own practice, means you appreciate a high level of autonomy and, among other things, may want freedom, status, and the ability to work and make decisions alone. If you go with nursing you will be wholly disappointed...

I say there are bigger things to worry about in life. It's beautiful outside in most places, start enjoying the weather and stop worrying about what other people are doing or saying, especially when it doesn't affect you.
