  2. Speciality change, again??

    TAKOO01 replied to RN_EKM17's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hi, I think you have already answered your question. You have less anxiety at this desk job. It doesnt make you cry or stay late and does not adversely affect your relationships. Youre hanging on to...

  3. Obnoxious Classmate

    TAKOO01 replied to Nursevibes's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Switch seats, tell her you cant hear the lecture if she keeps talking, offer to let her read your notes after class, suggest that she audio record the class - any one of these will

  4. Nurses Forced to Work as Corrections Officers

    TAKOO01 posted a topic in Correctional

    Hello, I read this article yesterday : Trump’s Budget Cuts Are Forcing Teachers and Nurses to Work as Federal Prison Guards – Mother Jones I found the article to be frightening and almost...

  5. Working on weekends!

    TAKOO01 replied to PubSub's topic in General Nursing

    Some great suggestions here. I'm going to throw in federal corrections. They give nice benefits/pay packages to vets and while they prefer weekends, in some areas they need nurses so bad you can talk...

    TAKOO01 replied to SentinelTruth's topic in Home Health

    My agency had salaried workers who were paid the hourly wage whether travelling or not, plus mileage. Per diems got a pervisit rate that remained the same no matter if the visit was 10 minutes or two...

  7. Job change - anxiety

    TAKOO01 replied to Michnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I did per diem for a WC clinic and loved it too. I tried to hang on to try for a full time position, but the nurses never left. There was variety in the day, and totally manageable. Go for the clinic...

  8. Loving The Job, Poor Orientation

    TAKOO01 replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in Correctional

    Careful.....there might be something else in that "waterfall" ? Can hide a few things in mashed potatoes, too. Just

  9. safe staffing legislation

    TAKOO01 replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wonder about this too. Ive read that nurses are the largest group of healthcare providers, but we seem to have limited power. Is it because it is a women dominated profession? Is it a lack of unity?...

  10. Giving up PA school acceptance to pursue ASN?

    TAKOO01 replied to ang314's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people can understand your position. You want to be home with your kids, but you need income and want a career. It might be easier in nursing to have the part time schedule, but if...

  11. Per diem rejections

    TAKOO01 replied to Coffee Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, go to the open house. Im sure they get tons of applications and theres nothing personal in the rejections. Having two jobs reject you actually isn't a lot, especially if you only applied to...

  12. Burnout or bad career choice?

    TAKOO01 replied to ajp43's topic in General Specialties

    I think nursing is unique in that the possibilities are almost endless. In another field, if you already had three jobs in three settings, i might say yeah, maybe look for something else. But in...

    TAKOO01 replied to msesay91's topic in Online Distance Learning

    TAKOO01 replied to Theresasnakeinmyboot's topic in General Nursing

    I had two students follow me as part of their BSN rotation. You won't believe it, but I honest to goodness never thought of being paid. Not until I just read your question. I guess Im the slow

  15. Feeling Trapped!

    TAKOO01 replied to RNfindingherway's topic in General Nursing

    At my job, transfers within the organization can be held for up to six pay periods. Yes, it is unionized. So, no consolation except - it could have been

  16. Any way you could stay over and work a few hours

    TAKOO01 replied to guest974915's topic in General Nursing

    This one made me scratch my head. So she would watch your munchkin (unable to do her managerial work because she would be babysitting), but she wouldnt just work the floor to fill the gap?

  17. Is this crazy?

    TAKOO01 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You should go. You've already done all the leg work, and now you're just feeling some jitters. All the things that concern you may happen- taking extra time to find an NP job, possibly working...

    TAKOO01 replied to BumblebeeinNC's topic in Case Management

    TAKOO01 replied to kingjames06's topic in Government, Military

  20. Education for RN CM?

    TAKOO01 replied to araew2129's topic in Case Management

    You dont need the MSN to be a CM. You can have a BSN, then get a certification if you want after two years as a CM. But why not do option 1? It appears to be a one year difference in time commitment,...

  21. What job to take

    TAKOO01 replied to Unique rn's topic in General Specialties

    You have answered your own question. It is hard plan a sensible move when you are in an uncomfortable position. It makes you desperate. Take the PD job, and while you are comfortable there, plan your...

  22. MSN nurses do any of you work in home health and with an MSN what is the best specialty?

    TAKOO01 replied to guest1110906's topic in General Specialties

    Hi, at my old agency, MSNs worked as supervisors in the office. I met NPs who worked with a "Doc on call" type of agency while I was doing visits for my agency. They seemed to do once monthly

  24. Possible interview questions?

    TAKOO01 replied to dennis8's topic in Case Management

    How interesting! Fate is a -----. Sounds like youre leaning towards your hospital. The clinic has not technically offered yet, so you will not burn a bridge if you decide to turn down the clinic. And...

  25. Possible interview questions?

    TAKOO01 replied to dennis8's topic in Case Management

    I hope you get the position, dennis8. When i got mine, HR quoted the salary, and i got the courage to try to negotiate, but i did a terrible job. She told me that the union gives x amount for...
