  1. Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    This place is unionized. The nurses should aggressively pursue compensation for the breach of the contract. The actual practices of the boot camp border on abusing your own employees and I am sure...
  2. OP, it sounds like everyone is having a good time except for
  3. Duke or Emory?

    Then you should weigh out whether or not 5 months is worth 10K. With these numbers, I'd be leaning towards shelling out the money and finishing earlier. But everyone is different. I don't know what...
  4. Duke or Emory?

    Are the savings worth 5 months of employment &
  5. Everyone has to take that course regardless of whether or not you go into that area. And I am sure that area is represented to some degree on the NCLEX. It is in your best interest to study...
  6. "I am psychologically traumatized from a past experience and require a nurse that is female, under 30 years old, white, thin, has a flat stomach, prominent collarbones, inner thigh gap and has an...
  7. This is pretty standard. You aren't transferring any patients to the LVN/LPN that the LVN/LPN can't handle. I don't know how many of us simply don't like that these care facilities cut funding by...
  8. How was nursing school?

    Nursing school was
  9. 5-year-old chooses heaven over hospital

    I am always
  10. Ask for a raise?

    You might qualify for a standardized raise of 1-2% per annum, but don't expect raises for performance. Remember, you are an expense to this hospital. If you ask for (or expect) an obscene raise, it...
  11. 5-year-old chooses heaven over hospital

    Something called "reality." It comes in really high doses when I am the one administering
  12. MEN, dont come into nursing

    Nowhere in the original post is there any reference to why it is only men who should avoid nursing. Title seems
  13. How much is a normal raise

    Exactly. We all get our 1-2% raise per year to keep up with inflation. Doesn't matter how much (or how little) effort you put into your job as long as you meet the minimum
  14. $600 an hr to fill a shift?

    That place must have been desperate and the PA must have known. 600 x 8 = 4,800 600 x 12 = 7,200 Hint: PA's are probably a lot more scarce than
  15. What if you have to
  16. I just re-read this. I was only able to skim earlier since I was on the road. I originally thought it was about watching the kid while the kid was using the washroom, not the other way around. The...
  17. Would the patient happen to be a teenage girl with an eating disorder? You've got to watch those anarexics and bulemics. Turn your back even for a second and they are up to no
  18. What entices you to join a new company?

    Easy job, good
  19. RN being pulled to work as aide?

    Find a new job. If it happens enough as it is, is there any sign of improvement? Here, I would at least tell management that I plan to quit if such a blasphemy occurs again. My notice would become...
  20. Stanford Rape

    Good on the judge for setting a fit sentence. When he is released this September, he will be deterred from committing any more crime and will become a law abiding citizen because the judge made the...
  21. First Job as a Nurse Manager for new grad

    This is easy. Take it and enjoy the money. Screw the hospital. Not everyone jumps into a management position right away. Typically that requires some bedside experience. At the very least, try it out....
  22. RN support

    How tall are you and how much do you weigh? I know I can support some nurses, but some would topple over on
  23. The only traffic infraction that counts for anything related to employment (unless you drive for a living) is a DUI. Don't get one of those. The rest of them (whether or not you pay them) don't really...
  24. Seeking RNs' input on a CNA job dilemma

    Call in sick on those days. I doubt they'll fire you. You can keep your job and take those days off. Even if you do get fired, you are in no worse of a position than you would have been
  25. Negotiating Pay

    From what I've seen and looking at wage grids, 2.5 years is not in the range where you have the power to negotiate your wage. In the case of staff nurses, negotiating a wage is a lot harder because of...
