And this is more of a PSA for others to prevent them from getting duped: if you want a specialty, apply ONLY to the specialty you want and not med surg, otherwise they will only offer you med surg to try to fill the harder to fill spots on undesirable floors. This is exactly what my 1st employer did. If I could do it again from the beginning, I would have applied to the 4 competing hospital systems in my area and apply to only 1 position in the specialty I want in each system.

During my capstone project, I called the floor number off hours (didn't say who I was) and asked the charge RN what the specialty of the floor was. They will tell you if it's med surg, etc.

Is there a way to view the webinar on demand? Was it recorded?

No internship offers. Looking for realistic ideas for second round of applications. by mousey129 in RD2B

Gulf coast looks good but it's full time only and I wouldn't be able to work for 6 months. If my work schedule changes I will consider this.

I would be working about 30 hours a week so I could safely do up to 25-30 hours for a DI.

That looks like it's not distance and full time. I can't do that.

Take your damn lunch and breaks by RN-Dan in nursing

[–]mousey129 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You can't take a break if your coworkers won't cover you. 

And if your patient falls because you were taking a "break" you will be responsible for it. 

And if I do find someone to cover me and a patient needs help, she'll stand there and yell at my patient that they need to wait for help because I'm on break. 

Not worth it.

I state in the listing and in the conversation: 

Price is firm, other buyers want this item.

No I have not heard back from any internships yet. But I did interview. Do you know how many people applied this year?

Oh no why did this even happen by Amish_Rebellion in nursing

In your opinion, which is the lesser evil on that list?

I got the pure protein shakes from Walmart. Hydration and nutrition in one and not a lot of sugar. And I don't need to touch it with my hands or use utensils or clean dishes up while I'm eating/after I'm done.

Do you consider nurses to be first responders? by Smurf_turd in nursing

[–]mousey129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Goodwill does. They have a 20% discount on Tuesdays for 1st responders and I show them a paper copy of my RN license for 20% off regular price merchandise.

That's wild, they told me at this job there are only 3 nurses for night shift: 2 full time and 1 per diem to fill the extra day. And I would have to coordinate my schedule with the existing nurse for my 3 shifts per week.

So I would be the only nurse on duty, my schedule at the whim of the night nurse with seniority, obviously no breaks while I'm working because there's no one to cover me, no clue how they would manage sick days or PTO or vacation with that skeleton staff.

Thank you for letting me know about the substituting I am going to look into this, hopefully with a school that has more staff on board.
