WhyNurse

Being a newly grad nurse, I can't deny the fact that we are in need in money to help paying bills that have been piled up since we were in school. We doesn't love money, right? I am sure we all do, and we work hard for it. But after listening to thes...

Yes - it is just a question about life in a broader area. We all need money to sustain, and nursing is no different than other profession. We work, we pay our dues, and we live... it is a cycle of life. Just gonna make sure we are not "stealing", no...

Totally agree with you!!!!

I need to defend myself a bit here - I am not busy body - they are just too loud and keep bragging about how good money is and do whatever you can... It just sounds like they are trying to milk the system as much as they can.. I am no difference from...

Nobody like to be underpaid - that's the universal rule and trust me, I LOVE money to death. Sometime it was just surprised to hear from others of how they trying to find a loop hole, and "milk" the system just so they can make more (nurses I met in ...

I am residing in Canada at this moment and that could subject to change.

It is interesting to find out that some hospital is willing to hire foreign nurses all the way from Jamaica rather than local nurses (who probably would know more about the culture and people here in Canada). Just spoke with a long lost classmate who...

Have anyone out there used to be a nurse contractor before or heard anything about being a nurse contractor? I went to a baby shower party last weekend and met this nurse who used to be a nurse contractor with a nursing agency. From what I gathered,...

What is OP?

I guess a bit of both - one side of me is frustrated with the hiring system and on the other side, I shouldn't be blaming the system cause I don't know the other side of the stories. All I know is just based on what I heard. Life moves on and you jus...

How about expressing your concern to your supervisor? Or is she your supervisor?

Totally agree - this is part of life, and we move on cause we can't afford to stay hungry and have our bills unpaid over the inequality of treatment we receive in this industry. Sometime just feel defeated by the system itself - and feel like it will...

Hi there, I am a fresh grad (well, I guess technically not, cause I have been graduated from nursing school for more than a year) and been trying and sending many many resumes but doesn't seem to have any luck in getting response (not even a call for...

Thanks for the advice. I am just desperate but I guess I am not qualified for now. Have you worked with Select before or other agency? Just wonder and curious how they are?

I am absolutely not trying to stir the pot or trying to be racist... I myself is also an immigrant who work hard who had a nursing degree from a foreign country - I work hard re-cert and went through language class...etc... go back to school and bas...

Are you going to stay in the same facility for long? If not, I guess there's not much to worry since people rotates, and who knows the other FT staff might not be there when you return, and you won't bump into each other? After all, you are just taki...

No - apparently all of them are "travel" nurse in temp contract.

Here are some of the agency I found - I am kinda hesitating on sending my application before knowing more yet I am desperate in just getting anything and don't mind going anywhere (student loans are kicking in... bills are pilling...etc... ) (1) Cana...

Do more research before making any decision. It would be nice to turn your dream to reality - but sometime the two do not line up together...and we will be back to square one. Sorry - I am not much of an encouragement here but surely think before you...
