  1. Back to Travel Nursing

    saskrn posted a topic in Travel

    Hello everyone! I'm hoping for a bit of help! We were thinking of starting to travel nurse again, and we've been calling one or two companies for info, and to see how things are done now. My...

  2. Back to Travel Nursing

    saskrn replied to saskrn's topic in Travel

    Thank you for your reply! I'm sorry if this is late, I didn't realize that there were any responses. We traveled for years in the past, but always had a tax home. Your info helps a lot! We...

  3. Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    saskrn replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, I'd follow the chain of command with this situation, for your own protection and job security. You never know how people might react when confronted with a sensitive issue like this, plus...

  5. Opposite Sex Coworker Social Boundaries

    saskrn replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I are both RN's, so I'm familiar with how his coworkers are mostly female. Taking everything into account, this is a marriage issue. I'm not sure if the above quote means you have no...

  7. Report or not when administrators have favorites

    saskrn replied to NeuroICU_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    IMHO, this isn't going to go well for you, BUT, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't report it. There is a difference between a bad report, and no report, and you essentially got no report. I've...

  8. I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

    saskrn replied to fulitarn's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is an RN, and he's been on the receiving end of MANY female RN's giving him backrubs, etc, and it makes him extremely uncomfortable. This doesn't only happen to women. He now makes it...

    saskrn replied to YstRN12's topic in General Nursing

    My husband has been an RN for 22 years, has worked almost every specialty in the hospital (right now he only works critical care units, PACU and the ED), and he's been nagged to be a charge for years....

  10. Got a hospital job after 10 year hiatus

    saskrn replied to tennesseeRN67's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! Was it difficult to find a job? How did you write your resume and get the attention of the hiring manager, if you don't mind me asking? I have a friend in a similar position who...

    I'm so sick and tired of politics. You can't escape it, not even

  17. Stressed, Confused, Anxious

    saskrn replied to hi_hello29's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, you will continue to struggle until you're actually doing what you love (the arts). Slow down and re-evaluate your life and choices. Think about how you'll feel for the rest of your working...

  21. Should I appeal?

    saskrn replied to aaronadams92's topic in General Students

    IMHO, you don't have a case for appealing your grade. While reading your post, it seemed that your explanation of all this actually confirmed why you should have failed clinical, not passed....

  22. A Nurses Duty to act

    saskrn replied to Mellissa81's topic in General Nursing

    I'm assuming this is not regarding a nurse who is providing professional in-home care for a specific patient? In this situation, if it's a life or death situation, ANYONE/EVERYONE has the duty to get...
