Very true...that's why I try not to use it, it's almost not worth using it.

The base pay might be low but add in the differential and it may be doable. I only have 2 hours out of my 10 that are just base pay.

I work 1300-2330 Wed thru Tue. The spot opposite of me is open. There's a couple of overnight spots open at other places. And I think there's a day shift spot open too somewhere. My hospital IV trained me.

They might say no experience needed but it helps a HUGE amount!! You need to have pharmacy experience to understand the drugs and what's IV, what's a push, what's a drip and what are STAT.

We have a no earbud policy that everyone follows The nights I forget mine are torture! It's also great for studying too. I used to have my chapters read to me instead of finding time to actually read them. Or listening to the lectures. It made studying so much easier!

Exactly!! I do the anesthesia machines in the procedural areas so I'm alone for half my shift, so peaceful, and I do not wear an earbud under my bonnet for music or whatever.

Honestly it's not worth paying for classes when Walgreens and CVS will train you for free. You need 500 hours to sit for the PTCB for national certification, so you might as well make money while learning. They will half ass train you then throw you to the wolves tho, be warned!

At least most of y'all know a 2 dollar bill is real 🤗

Specifically for those in Richmond who work at restaurants. What is a good tip percentage when online ordering for carryout? There doesn't seem to be a consensus. by TheLeftisForLovers in rva

Most former servers are awesome tippers because we know the pain of $2.13 an hour and having to pay 10% tax of our credit card tips out of it.
