  2. Educator pay vs. floor nurse pay

    JWG223 replied to Aurora77's topic in General Nursing

    This x1000!!! In another 10 years, I'm planning to maybe wait tables or something because of all of it. Money is so much less important the longer I am at bedside. The "hospital resort" mentality gets...

  3. Nursing Burnout

    JWG223 replied to CalenMay's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend. He works in a hell hole of a hospital where OR will lie about procedures so that patients can be shuffled to whatever floor they want (example: he got for his 6th patient an admit...

  4. Educator pay vs. floor nurse pay

    JWG223 replied to Aurora77's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on location I bet. Floor nurse makes 50k or so here. Not 80 to 90. So that right there tells me location is king. I'd stick it out for at least equal pay

  5. Nursing Burnout

    JWG223 replied to CalenMay's topic in General Nursing

    Stay your professional life off your facebook. Leave your dump of a workplace. Both will make you happier and life will improve. It's not nursing. It's your

    JWG223 replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

  9. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Growing up in government housing was a unique exlerience. It contributed to my view that all humans have equal potential. Yes, mullet guy has equal rights. Mullet guy might also be a BACA biker with a...

  11. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  12. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I never said you would not have been shot. I asked if you thought you would have been shot multiple times while you fought back, had you had a gun. I never even opined. I simply asked. Then you got...

  13. Ask a question till reporting nurse can't answer one

    JWG223 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's a form of wanting someone else to assess your patient and do your chart check for you. They have a stethescope. They can read. Report is a highlight. Not the whole

  14. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't devalue your experience. I simply don't accept it as a reason to devalue hundreds of thousands of lives lost defending that which you devalued. Ie. The US Constitution/Bill of rights. This is...

  15. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Empathy implies understanding. OP feels that I'm too white to understand. Anyway...I simply dislike what I call "the race card". Through zero evidence presented, OP blames her inability to get hired...

  16. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, I get it. I can't be against whites getting unfair advantages, because I'm white? I was going Everywhere! with it. DO. AWAY. WITH. AA. simple as that. In every form. people insist through this...

  17. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Make it merit based and stop worrying about color. Low income? Same assistance across the board. Test scores without color. Etc. I personally think the only time skin color should be included in...

  18. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    To acknowledge that Blacks experience things differently is to also acknowledge that they may be better or worse suited for certain things than other ethnicities. So...how exactly does one pay respect...

  19. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know bills may be mounting, but be picky. It took me 3 months to get my first job. I was the last person in my class hired (Behind the students of multiple other nationalities...), but I also got...

  20. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    "The Black Experience"... See, I figure each person's experience is unique. Not dependent upon their skin-color. For example, none of my friends have had any problems at all getting a job, except for...

  21. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't think anyone in this thread has said any of those things. However, I don't believe being Black is the first thing you need to look at when turned down for a job unless you have evidence to the...

    JWG223 replied to BIGT68's topic in General Nursing

  23. Black and Job Hunting

    JWG223 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I kindof figured. Every person who uses their color as a scapegoat devalues the legitimate concerns of actual racial discrimination. It also comes off as
