    Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Extra Pickles replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think this comes out of the Facebook Generation or whatever you want to call people who are continually shocked to find that what they put out there publically can and does come back to bite them in...

    Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Extra Pickles replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So you're saying that you blabbed about your wage rate when you shouldn't have and then did it again here on an open public message board? Nothing is as anonymous as people think and you just told not...

    CNA vs. Fast food: Which is tougher?

    Extra Pickles replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    If you intend to become an RN you will be doing all that CNA work and more. Find out if the school where you want to get the BSN requires you to already be a CNA before applying to the program. If...

    Tell me I can do this

    Extra Pickles replied to Nurse2bAlissa's topic in General Students

    If you keep your priorities straight, and that means a priority on excelling in classes, you will do fine. People tend to get into trouble when they lose sight of the bigger picture and hyperfocus on...

    Will Other CC's Let Me Retake Classes With Satisfactory Grades From My Old CC?

    Extra Pickles replied to MUSEic's topic in General Students

    I don't see where anyone said anything about it being fair or unfair, not sure who you were speaking to there. But I don't think the question you are asking is really the one you need an answer to....

    Working over 40 hours... still no overtime pay? Legal?

    Extra Pickles replied to xtina15's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live no overtime pay is paid for a workday in excess of 8 hours. You can have a standard workday be 8, 10, 12 hours. Can even work up to 16 hours and it's straight pay unless you've agreed...

    Working over 40 hours... still no overtime pay? Legal?

    Extra Pickles replied to xtina15's topic in General Nursing

    I'll throw out there one more exception that came to mind, if you have sick time or vacation time in a week where you then go over 40 hours or 80 hours in 2 weeks you don't get OT pay for that time...

    No RN experence NP "non-nurse"

    Extra Pickles replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    When was it acceptable for a nurse practitioner to have only an associate degree education?? Or do you mean she functioned like one of the NPs she worked with but was never actually an NP

    Seriously?? Small rant.

    Extra Pickles replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    I think it was someone from Washington who posted that only RNs could call themselves nurses and LPNs had to use the full title to explain who they were, that the short word Nurse wasn't allowed....

    Working over 40 hours... still no overtime pay? Legal?

    Extra Pickles replied to xtina15's topic in General Nursing

    sounds like you got screwed over. anywhere I've worked if I've been required to show up meaning it was part of my job to be there, then I was being paid and if I was working over 40 hours I got...

    Working over 40 hours... still no overtime pay? Legal?

    Extra Pickles replied to xtina15's topic in General Nursing

    if you were on the clock and being paid to work then that's all that matters. "education hours" you were still paid your base rate of pay for, so yes they count. I bet if you called HR and asked them...

    Part-time nursing positions

    Extra Pickles replied to ottersloveoysters's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it would have to depend on the facility. Mine hires part time people but only those who have enough floor experience to get a quick hospital orientation, quick floor orientation and can hit...

    Anything I can do with nursing and history degrees?

    Extra Pickles replied to Weirdo's topic in General Nursing

    it's good to have dreams and yours are nice but i'm sure by now you know that they are unrealistic. or maybe you don't? Nurses who have no experience with which to get themselves into good stay at...

    A little frustrated/confused about BSN/ADN

    Extra Pickles replied to hellfirecat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    it's always interesting to hear what rumors and myths are out there from time to time. your classmate thinks that RNs who hold different degrees have different responsibilities (in the same job) and...

    Extra Pickles replied to SpecialBlackOps's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Applying

    Extra Pickles replied to Momofason17's topic in General Nursing
