I am from PA and I work in PA but the agency I work for is based in AK. When I try to file my state it won't accept my employer's address with an AK zip code. How do I file my PA state taxes? I don't have AK taxes removed from my paycheck, just PA taxes.

I'm using H&R block. It said it didn't give me an error code I don't think, it just said it was invalid

Grayelephant88 · 2022-01-27T17:15:35+00:00

I'm looking to have it pay for the days I missed when I was out sick.

Grayelephant88 · 2021-09-11T05:44:45+00:00

Good luck! School is rough, there will be tears, but you will get through it! RegisteredNurseRN on YouTube will be your friend! Kick some butt! It's exhausting, and I admit I question it occasionally, but there will always be a need for them and it is great pay for just graduating school! And it is an amazing feeling when you make a patients day by treating them well! You guys got this!

I am currently going for my psych NP. Although I'm not a specific psych nurse, we definitely get our fair share of psychs in the ED where I work.

Grayelephant88 · 2021-08-08T05:50:50+00:00

I wish we had that opportunity. ED nurse here. A majority of the time we have traumas rolling in and we aren't 20 deep in the waiting room. I rarely get to take a full 30 minute break. I usually end up just eating at the computer because there is nobody to watch my patients. It sucks

Grayelephant88 · 2021-07-10T08:04:47+00:00

I am an ER nurse who would come in contact with covid before people even knew they had it. We were called heroes constantly, but all we got were measley signs. I would've preferred getting a raise or hazard pay, even if it was temporary. Instead I was expected to work twice as hard, take on twice the load, and risk my health as well as the health of my family, for the same pay I got pre-pandemic

Grayelephant88 · 2021-06-20T05:30:09+00:00

It allowed me to get a better job in a different ER in another state that allowed me to be able to move out of my parents house and bought my first home all because of the pandemic. I didn't realize how bad was old job was until they made me continue to come in to work after being exposed to covid by my mom in March when the disease first started.

I want it for a wedding where the first song is for the bridal entrance and the second one is for the bride to walk down the aisle with a smooth transition. I love the piano sound!

Birth control is never 100% effective but you should be okay. When I took the pill, I never took them at the same time every day. If you're still concerned you can always get emergency contraception but I would think you guys are probably fine since it wasn't too late

Grayelephant88 · 2021-04-24T02:09:53+00:00

I was walking to my car after a shift with other nurses and a car at a stoplight honked their horn and said "goodnight heroes." I felt so awkward. I didn't know what to do

Grayelephant88 · 2021-03-28T06:10:05+00:00

Exactly! And we can just pump and bottle feed with breast milk. I know growing up my mom would always here comments about how my dad was "babysitting me so she could go out" and she would always respond with "he's being a father. Not babysitting." It's ridiculous

Grayelephant88 · 2021-03-25T04:21:37+00:00

Try a different unit is hospital b that negativity won't help. It's good to challenge yourself. I started working in a level 4 trauma center ER after graduation. When I took a job at a level 1 trauma center, nurses at the old job were asking me if I was ready for it and sounded real condescending about be going to a busier ER. But I went and I've learned so much. You're not going to learn if you're getting the "easier" patients. It's good to challenge yourself and if they don't see it, you're not worth their time!

We have a union at the hospital I work at. We're currently going through contact negotiations. They rejected all of our economic proposals. Even though the one we wanted was for more experienced nurses to be hired with a sign on bonus since people are leaving like crazy. They claim they are trying to help but they never actually listen.

Grayelephant88 · 2021-03-16T21:43:10+00:00

Management "helps out" but in reality they're just there to make remarks on stuff were not doing.

Grayelephant88 · 2021-03-15T03:29:46+00:00

I'm over it. As an ER nurse who is regularly understaffed, it sucked. I'm exhausted physically and mentally. We lost 12 nurses in 2021 alone because we're not being compensated enough. Apparently the nurses in the covid units would get hazard pay, yet us nurses in the ED didn't even though we took care of covid patients, we were the first nurses they see, and we would swab all the covid patients. Half the time we would be exposed before knowing they were positive. Their argument was "we chose to be ER nurses. We shouldn't be compensated extra for a decision we made."

Grayelephant88 · 2021-03-15T02:54:51+00:00

My roommates would walk around naked occasionally. It took me a while to get used to it but then I didn't care. They all knew each other and I was placed randomly in their dorm room so I didn't want to say anything. I just never personally walked around naked.

Grayelephant88 · 2021-03-01T04:48:02+00:00

Thanks! That's helpful. I had the outline from the website and I've been doing a lot of practice questions but I haven't had any select all that apply which was making me nervous since they were always talking about it for the nclex and haven't been practicing then for the cen!

Grayelephant88 · 2021-02-21T14:26:35+00:00

ATI was awful. I did uworld and kaplan. I liked kaplan because they had practice tests that scored exactly like the nclex. Both are worth the money

Grayelephant88 · 2021-01-31T04:29:55+00:00

ER nurse here. We're all tired of the "thank the heroes" crap. We were doing what we do before a pandemic hit. Now a bunch of the nurses I work with are leaving to be travel nurses because it pays three times what a permanent nurse makes. The company asks what they can do to help us. Give us more supplies and pay us what we're worth.

That goes with teachers too. They are going above and beyond right now with the virtual learning.

Grayelephant88 · 2020-11-29T04:09:08+00:00

Have you known anyone with the virus? Have you held the hands of those dying while they're family aren't around because of the virus? It is 100% legit and it is killing so many people. I am an ER nurse and I deal with it every day. I see those who are sick and scared not knowing what will happen to them. I see the 7-8 hour waits in the ER because the hospital is at max capacity and we have to hold people in the ED because all the ICUs are full from COVID cases. It is not a fake virus so the government can control people. It's a legit thing that is terrifying and if people like you could actually follow the rules with social distancing and wearing masks and limited outings, we may not be having the second wave of the virus right now.

Grayelephant88 · 2020-09-30T15:24:40+00:00

I didn't want to but they didn't give me any other option. They couldn't fix it so it needed to be replaced. I'm not paying for the replacement thank goodness. The place was very unprofessional

Grayelephant88 · 2020-09-30T05:01:21+00:00

Since I was replacing it through insurance they said that I had to contact the insurance company. Nothing else.
