  1. Insight from current nurses- do you like your jobs?

    saskrn replied to The new nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I worked a travel contract in Kansas in 1998, and we had 12 or 13 busy acute patients per RN. The CNA's were gone by 23:00. I know for a fact that other hospitals staffed the same. I was

  2. 2017 Nursing Salaries by State, Degree, and License - Highest & Lowest

    saskrn replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    My experience from working in multiple states is very different than these results. Additionally, pay rates on the floor/unit vary little, it at all, between the different education levels (BSN,...

  5. Permanent job after travel

    saskrn replied to Wolf at the Door's topic in Travel

    We both do ICU, and we've been presented with many different ICU travel locations within the last week. It depends on where you want to go. As for transitioning from travel to perm, I've always told...

  6. PROBATION

    saskrn replied to 1235's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I imagine that the BON will be very unhappy, especially since it involves "solicitation for prostitution", and even more so since patients are vulnerable. Personally, I would prepare for the worst,...

  7. Being called a baby nurse

    saskrn replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen far too many nurses who are neither "crusty" or "older" get frustrated by patients who call frequently, this can happen with nurses of all ages. Experienced nurses should not be the only...

  8. Advice for older nurses returning to work, please?

    saskrn replied to HereIamagain's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed recently that there are several local travel contracts for LTC. There might be something in your area. Have you considered that route? The pay is good, and there's often the...

  9. speak out or grin and bear it?? Intimidation/bullying

    saskrn replied to M1026L's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    1. Yes 2. No. 3. Who knows? I see this from two different perspectives. You sound like you're in your own living hell, and stressed to the max - emotional, frustrated, insecure, afraid,...

  10. Being called a baby nurse

    saskrn replied to NurseA1987's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen anyone discount any RN based on their education. Actually, in my experience, diploma prepared RN's often have the strongest clinical skills. I have seen LPN's work and input...

  12. Is it abandonment or taking a moment to collect myself?

    saskrn replied to Mollythenurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This could amount to absolutely nothing, or become an ugly case of he-said/she-said. I would have a plan for that scenario just in case, consult an attorney, and investigate your BON's definition of...

  16. Discrimination for being a new mom?

    saskrn replied to Karn88's topic in General Nursing

    I fail to see any discrimination, and I really don't see any discrimination because you were pregnant and had a baby. It just doesn't make sense to
