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

   Nursemiriben replied to xtina15's topic in General Nursing

   It sounds like they've found some sort of loophole but man is that snake-y!!! Anything over 40 hours at my work is work. Even if it's watching a DVD for continuing education for 4 hours. Ridiculous! !!

2. Job abandonment-CNA

   Nursemiriben replied to Vzuniga627's topic in General Nursing

   I'd be more worried about your inability to handle pressure. You'll be disrespected a million more times in your career by coworkers, bosses, patients, and their families. As a nurse you're in charge, you can't be immature enough to walk off. It depe...

3. Was given a raise not to quit - now I have a target on my back

   Nursemiriben replied to Nursemiriben's topic in General Nursing

   I extorted nothing. I actually had a better offer at my day job and they offered to give me that pay but less hours to stay. How is that extortion? Extortion is I have you on tape in bed with a patient so I want 1000 an hour. Geez. Update: still ther...

   Nursemiriben replied to Nursemiriben's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think the pay structure is fantastic either. Frankly I have no idea why any rn's work there. They are not our supervisors and we technically don't "have" to have them there because it's non skilled nursing, just psych 60+ patients and one nur...

   Nursemiriben replied to Nursemiriben's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah corporate was in town and so many people were out we had one girl literally work 20 hours in a row before I agreed to come back. I imagined they'd have paid me 100 an hour to come back at the time. LPNs make 25, RNs make 27 and I'm the only one ...

7. Was given a raise not to quit - now I have a target on my back

   Nursemiriben posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am a relatively new grad with 4 months working at an ltc. They have only been giving me 16 hour weeks even though I was offered a full time position; so I took a second job. They offered me a dollar an hour more, day shifts, and 42 hours after 3 w...

8. Abuse?.?!? Help!

   Nursemiriben replied to mrs.hood's topic in LPN/LVN

   My caregivers say foolish immature stuff like this all the time. I'm in a lock down as well. It's hard to find employees at that level with a good professional attitude. Now if someone actually hit someone heads would roll...but you hearing someone s...

10. Worried That Doctor's Orders Will Hasten A Patient's Death

    Nursemiriben replied to PrincessNur's topic in Safety

    No offense but this is clearly a comment made in ignorance from someone who clearly has zero medical knowledge. Post on all nurses when you're taking classes, in clincals, have a license...

    Nursemiriben replied to twss2323's topic in Relations

    We got a goody bag with a gift card for dinner and cute nurse stuff like mugs, socks, a hoodie, a card that everyone signed and some snacks to keep in our locker! I really appreciated it! And I work for a fairly small company
