4. Looking for nurses who work with Meditech, Eclipsys or Cerner

   pjsleepy replied to supermom2's topic in Informatics

   Cross Meditech off your list and don't look back!!! In my opinion it is an ancient system and has NO PLACE even being on the market today with all of the newer, easier to use brands. Basically, a hospital I worked at did not give the staff a choice...

   pjsleepy replied to ikatiana21's topic in Forensic

   SANE classes are offered all over the country, but you need to take the class in the state you will be practicing in. The class itself is only about a week long, and then your preceptored experience depends on the facilities guidlines where you will...

7. Son doing heroin

   Please seek guidance from professionals and do whatever you must to help your son. I lost a family member to a heroin overdose and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Talk to professionals and then talk to him.

8. Advice for new ER nurse

   pjsleepy replied to kdmcook's topic in Emergency

12. AORN perioperative nursing classes

    pjsleepy posted a topic in Operating Room

    Can anyone list off some hospitals that offer this class? I prefer mid-west hospitals, but anywhere that you know of will be helpful. I was on the AORN website and they are supposed to have a directory listing but the page is blank and I really wan...

    I've been a nurse for over 6 years. I have my BSN and I've only worked ER during these past 6 years (4 years staff, 2+ traveling). I am currently to the point that I absolutely hate my job. I am ready to give up the ER and try something else. The...

14. My first assignment...wish me luck guys!!!

    pjsleepy replied to golfjules's topic in Travel

    Ask tons of questions of everyone at first. Never assume that a procedure/protocol is standard at your assignment hospital, because everywhere else you have worked has done it that way. You will run into methods that seem completely obsurd, but tha...
