  2. "Scabs"

    Stella-Ohio replied to lee1's topic in Travel

    I'm not sure I would either. I would make that decision if/when it comes up. I too am not opposed to those workers and strongly feel they are not acting against the unions. Thanks for posting that...

  3. "Scabs"

    Stella-Ohio replied to lee1's topic in Travel

    :yeahthat: I have to agree. These nurses aren't out to take your job and few of us would turn down an opportunity to make huge sums of money to do what we normally due for much less. These nurses...

  5. Travel Nursing, suggestions?

    Stella-Ohio replied to jade82's topic in Travel

    Even if an agency takes you on, the contracting hospitals often won't. I have had to be less selective about area due to only having 18 months experience. Many hospitals will not budge off of their...

    Stella-Ohio replied to JRapha'sRN's topic in Travel

    Stella-Ohio replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in MICU, SICU

    There is another post on this subject. Basically it says go for it if the hospital has a good track record for precepting new grads into the ICU. I agree, there is no reason not to jump into the ICU...

  8. Would this bother you?

    Stella-Ohio replied to Ann RN's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding students/young nurses checking off or teaching the skill, don't underestimate that they are learning as much from this as the person they are checking off. If you are open minded, you may...

    Stella-Ohio replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No you don't have to get your med-surg experience or any floor experience right now. If you choose to later, you can do so when you apply for a new position (whether or not you choose med-surg then...

  14. RN-BSN Completion Advice

    Stella-Ohio posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I would like to hear from RN's who have gone on to complete their BSN programs. This is not a thread meant to rehash which degree is better. I am a new graduate (December 04) of my RN program and...

    Stella-Ohio replied to Stella-Ohio's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow, thanks Daytonite. I'm going to sit and absorb this wealth of information for a bit when I get done thanking you for a well-thought response. I'm trying to figure out what my gut is telling me. I...

  17. My mom does not want me to become a nurse

    Stella-Ohio replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    It is possible that 'mom' may be wrong, but that is not generally the case. I think it is good advice to be told to listen to one's parents with few exceptions (VERY VERY FEW). There are plenty of...

  18. Not excited to go to work as a new nurse...am I the only one?

    Stella-Ohio replied to doxieraiser's topic in First Year After Licensure

  20. Is my misdemeanor going to haunt me forever? Nursing student needs your advise

    Stella-Ohio replied to jspNY's topic in New York Nursing

    First of all, if you were not convicted then, no fault/no foul. If you went to court and you were found guilty and had to pay a fine/do a few days in jail whatever......then that is your conviction....

  21. My mom does not want me to become a nurse

    Stella-Ohio replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    Usually when the whole world leaves you stranded, it's your family you still have. Tough decision. I wouldn't just go against what your mother says and I would advise against a confrontational...

    Stella-Ohio replied to fyrelight74's topic in General Nursing
