  1. We are so short today that I have a bucket next to me to pee in.

    TAKOO01 replied to carebear01's topic in General Nursing

    Its is interesting to hear this perspective. I mostly hear people raving about working from home. Several nurses I know really want to work from home. But I don't think they realize that wfh is a...

  2. Nurses please give some insight!

    TAKOO01 replied to Givenup90's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Your answer is in your question- networking. Do you keep up with the person who is now a manager at the really good hospital? Why not text that person and say you are looking for a job?...

  3. New Nurse: Discouraged and Wanting to Quit

    TAKOO01 replied to newgrad_13019's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I imagine that there are people who enter nursing and love it from the beginning. Unfortunately, those people don't post here so much (maybe because they are busy enjoying great jobs!), so nursing...

  4. When Did Nursing Become a Contact Sport? | Life of a Nurse

    TAKOO01 replied to Abby McCoy RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like the idea of teachers with guns. I also don't like the idea of nurses with any kind of weapon. I think that nurses have to start rejecting the idea (which management has tried to place in...

  5. Getting back in the groove

    TAKOO01 replied to Samyra's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to read about whats happening to you. Your post mentions more about your life than your job. It doesn't sound like the job is your issue. Sounds like you have some feelings to work out...

  8. NEED ADVICE 2 job offers….

    TAKOO01 replied to Nonie76's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Congratulations on having two offers that you want. I'm leaning towards the second one because you don't say anything negative about the job, just about the insurance. In your description of the...

  9. IR position

    TAKOO01 replied to Cmailes's topic in Radiology

    Yes! I have. It is nerve wracking. The longest wait I had for a job was a government position that took ( if I remember correctly) about nine months. I had a friend who waited four months for a second...

  10. Which shift would you choose?

    TAKOO01 replied to Alexxoxox's topic in General Nursing

    Both shifts sound hard if you have kids. If no kids are involved, 11 a to 11p seems best. No overnights, so you can sleep regularly. And if the job isn't too far away, you have some time to yourself...

  11. Should Male Nurse Work In L&D?

    TAKOO01 replied to Apotheosis's topic in General Nursing

    So many interesting answers here. I see a little bit of a parallel between this discussion and the current issues going on with women's rights today. No woman should have to explain why she wants a...

    TAKOO01 replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

    I never heard of this reimplantation nonsense, so you made me look it up. It is actually true, although its from a couple of years ago. Why do we let these morons with no medical or scientific...

  15. Westchester County New Grad Salaries

    TAKOO01 replied to FreshStart22's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think there can be difference in the salaries. I would guess 10k average less in Westchester. Its all about preferences. If someone lives in Westchester, she may spend a lot to travel to...

  16. New Grad Scared to Start in Med-Surg

    TAKOO01 replied to SuperSassySally's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think the whole "start in med surg" canard is out dated. You should apply where you want to work. And there are many jobs that do 5 8's if you don't want to do 3

  22. What's the most you're willing to pay for an ADN-BSN program? What is the average decent price?

    TAKOO01 replied to Vee D's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This is such a broad question. Too many variables to really help you figure out what ever it is you're figuring out. I think state schools are the cheapest option, and prices will probably vary...
