  1. how many classes at a time allowed

    JCRN replied to amberm5's topic in Western Governors University

    I am a current student and have all of my classes for the term open now. I have completed 3 but could have worked on all 4 of them since I started (May 1) all at the same time, and submitted whatever...

  2. Who's working all of the holidays?

    JCRN replied to letina's topic in General Nursing

    I would definitely say something. This was not an unreasonable request. IMHO, if you just let people take advantage of you once(which I feel they are), they will continue to do so. At my hospital, we...

  3. What was your gpa when you got accepted to an RN or LPN program?

    JCRN replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    3.30 but I don't think that has any bearing on the kind of nurse I

  4. Working night shift on daylight savings day-paid for 12 or 13 hours?

    JCRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in Nursing Career

    We get paid twelve hours for both. They figure since it's the same staff working both of those weekends, it just works out. It so happens those days have not fallen on my weekend so it hasn't really...

  5. For those working 12 hour shifts, what is your schedule like?

    JCRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just wondered how many people work 3 in a row (that kills me!). I work 2 on, one off, two on, one off, two on, six off. I love my schedule.

  6. Should a new grad go straight to the OR??

    JCRN replied to Tibbymc's topic in Nursing Career

    I know this really does not answer your specific question, but I started on med/surg because I want to be there. Unfortunately, some of my fellow new grads are making it quite obvious that they have...

  7. For those working 12 hour shifts, what is your schedule like?

    JCRN replied to JCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't you know it? I say how much I love my schedule yesterday and I go to a staff meeting today and am told that my scheduled has been changed. But I can't complain-one week Wed, Thurs, Sat;...

  8. PRN pay scale the same as staff......

    JCRN replied to Chelle2780's topic in General Nursing

    There are 2 hospitals in the area where I live. One pays the same wage for PRN wages, the other (where I work) pays $28/hr for PRN. I was told the reason my hospital pays a higher wage is because...

  9. Share Your Saying

    JCRN replied to angelique777's topic in Nursing Humor

    You know you are having a bad day when you find a tampon behind your ear and cannot find your

  10. Did You Get A Sign On Bonus?

    JCRN replied to TLC RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I received $2k for 2 years-$1500 hundred with the first paycheck, and $1500 in 6 months (Conveniently two weeks before Christmas). Did I consider not taking the bonus? No way! I was going to work...

  11. Pay & Benes

    JCRN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    My salary is not at all impressive-$17.52/HR with a PATHETIC, LOUSY .50/HR weekend differential-but I cannot complain about my benefits. Dental is $29/mo and almost everything is covered 100%. Also...

  12. question about insulin, heparin injections

    JCRN replied to leopold's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, it never occurred to me that one wouldn't have to have a cosigner. At my hospital we have to have heparin, insulin, and coumadin doublechecked, along with someone varifying any heparin drip or...
