I started work at a new facility as a manager and maybe because I was new or who knows why but staff told me about really abusive behavior coming from one nurse. I didn't rush to judge just paid attention. We were doing flu shots and her team was o...

Try a private school. In my area those grades wouldn't cut it so private programs might be your only option.

Lol....so true, but I pretty much quit whenever I get pissed off....It has worked for me so far but it drives my husband bonkers :)

Lord help me! I just SERIOUSLY asked my daughter..."sweetheart, never try to take care of me at home (21 year old) I think if I need care you should put me in a nursing home"...ummm because her generation is on social media 8 hours per day and most ...

I am meeting with a non-traditional high school tomorrow about completing IEP and health assessments for the students. They have group home, drug addicted, and teen mothers (mostly) at the school. I have worked in prison for a long time and I thoug...

cid1, I submitted for my certification and in CA you can work as soon as you submit for the cert. I also had my fingerprints done on Friday. I am going to training to learn the IEP process so I think it will be exciting. Thank you for asking thoug...

Thank you for replying. Yes, I understand and that is why I said my current pay may not apply at all. I just was looking for a ballpark I should ask for, turns out they offered $60 as a contractor, I am happy with that since it is around my schedul...

We are here for a job....he already helps deliver papers so I thought "why not?"!

Well...I can say when I posted my first post I got no replies and it made me refrain from asking questions for a while. Later I tried it again and got more responses, it makes it a great place for answers if people take the time to speak with you an...

Does anyone know of a scholarship which will help me pay my NP tuition in exchange for post graduate service? I am in a PMHNP program and am having trouble balancing paying for a kid in college, husband in college, my tuition, an aging parent and a ...

Thank you! I was so overwhelmed that I didn't even think of that.

Ok, I am exhausted by this whole thing. The officers in my area bring everyone and I mean EVERYONE to the hospital. Attempted murder of your father???...must be psych.... Walked into the sheriff's station holding a knife threatening to cut your ow...

I was involved in a "cross training" with the local police headed by a Psychiatrist and sponsored through UC San Diego...it doesn't seem to have helped. I do like the idea of the jail with all the medical connections. I work full time in prison and...

This is in reference to Los Angeles but I think it is likely all over...

Outpatient Treatment Center! I did this on a floor of an acute care hospital, tons of IV insertion, infusions, PICC line placement (with provided certification), TEE, Cardioversion, Bubble Studies, Facet Blocks, GI lab, Procedural Sedation, self con...

Exactly!!! They pretty much dump them at the ED and don't stay at all. I don't think it is our place to "jail" them in a hospital but since they just chased dad with a knife how do we cut them loose? It isn't safe for staff or other patients but i...

Absolutely because your next salary will be based on your current one. (not always but with general frequency) So....if your current salary stays the same, you see where this is going.

Does a cell phone have to feed a family? You are comparing goods with services it isn't a fair comparison. If you don't like the pay where you are, move...if you are happy with it, stay...simple as that. We make more money in California but pay st...

Fast food workers in Los Angeles make more than they do in Montgomery, AL....I think the Big Mack tastes the same pretty much anywhere you go. I am all for taking care of patients but I have to be able to meet my basic needs as well and in major ci...

Your responses seem very defensive and argumentative. As an employer and someone who sits on interview panels I wouldn't consider you based on your style of interaction. Maybe you might want to rethink your take on your responses. You asked for in...

The VA has a great internship program. This will get you the experience by having a mentor in the APN role....

I need advice BAD! I am a nursing supervisor in prison and was a DON at a prison site in the past. I quit because of professional differences with a Chief Nurse Executive but was approached about taking another position as a DON. I am flattered at...

I am wondering where I can get a job and make a large amount of money in a relatively short time....no I did not get into nursing for the money, I have been a nurse for several years med surg and psych but had a child that passed away and I am left w...
