  2. Encouragement needed - Frustrated and insulted by hourly rates

    Postpartum RN replied to kemansha1's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Postpartum RN replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, "rude" is you saying "spouting religious crap". Why disrespect what a person believes in, you could have voiced your opinion in a much nicer and respectful way. She has her opinion and so do you....

  8. How long is your commute?

    Postpartum RN replied to the nurse who lived's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it depends. For me it's worth it because I got into the specialty I really wanted for a long time. I couldn't get into this specialty in any of the closer hospitals because of no experience in...

    Postpartum RN replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I don't like it when the chatty catty loud and often dramatic day shift comes on, shift change is the part I dread the most! Well some staff are awesome and easy to give report to but others just...

  15. Does med/surg/critical care experience pay off?

    Postpartum RN replied to FutureMidwifeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sorry it's usually pretty tough to get into this specialty. You have a lot of experience they should value that on your resume. You will be coming in with critical assessment skills and a lot of...

  16. Job interview in 12 hours! hELP!

    Postpartum RN replied to Ozymandia's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Maybe do some research on how long it takes for your specific meds to completely be removed from your system, that way you will have a range. I have read other posters comments that say if they find...

  17. Job interview in 12 hours! hELP!

    Postpartum RN replied to Ozymandia's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It seems people are posting different things here. I am not sure what the rules are, but I think it would just depend on the hospitals policy. I'm not sure what my hospitals policy is since I wasn't...

  21. Quitting without a notice

    Postpartum RN replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't necessarily agree that nursing is such a small world, it depends on where you live. However, I do think you should give notice if you are able to. I would especially feel bad for my coworkers...

  22. Delegation Woes

    Postpartum RN replied to FutureCRNP's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with the both of you. And the reason I agree is because I have learned this to be true through experience. When I started as a new nurse at a snf, I was very "nice" and always said please and...

  23. Is clinic nursing a dirty job?

    Postpartum RN replied to Yerani27's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure who you are responding to. I however would not even want a doctor helping me clean an exam room. We pay them lots and lots of money to use their brains to treat sick people. So no they...
