When I worked as a tech, there was a *definite* difference in the nurses/techs between shifts. days-The popular ones, lol. They always were really nice, but did have cliques. evenings-Very laid back nights-We were more of the outcasts, lol. A ...
I always wanted to go to med school. However, the reality is that doctors really don't have it better than nurses or NPs. I wanted more autonomy and the prestige. But the view of doctors is changing to a lot of people, and pharma and HMOs are in c...
I agree. My ex-MIL had MVP and fibromyalgia. She is in real, true, pain constantly. I have worked with the patients after the pain meds or the hypochondriacs. But I would hate to turn into someone who feels no sympathy and rolls my eyes at people...
Interesting. So I am assuming they didn't tell the parents the risk/parents didn't care? Or is it a "My wife has more follicles than your wife" manly thing?
I resent "dumb little hands". Though I do not think that meds should be the responsibility of CNAs. CNAs often have huge patient loads and tons of other responsibilities thrown on them. It is a huge risk to give more jobs, especially one so scary ...
I used to work in ART and I totally agree with you. That is a *huge* risk. I can't believe they went through with it. I know the NPs and Docs I worked with highly pushed to have at the very most 3 implanted for IVF and would never have gone throug...
Lakeview College of Nursing at EIU ALWAYS has openings and they are not strict about when you apply. So long as you apply before the first day of class. It is in Charleston, but main branch is in Danville. I wish I still lived that way. Great pro...
It depends on the area, I suppose. I always see ads for ultrasound techs. They get paid *very* well, too. Much higher than starting salary for RNs at my last hospital. I know several who were nurses and then got certified in US to make more money...
I loved Carle. Note, it has been about 3 years since I was there last. But the workers by and large loved the hospital and they have great benefits. Things might have changed, but all in all, I believe it's a great place to work.
Sorry, I am not on here much! That's great that they are lessening the RN load. But what about for the techs? I know that things have changed a lot on the floor I worked on right after I left, but haven't been back to ask many questions. You can't...
Thanks, everyone! It looks like we are moving to Rockford. Dh accepted the job there. The tuition is really high for all but RVC, so I am going to try to get in there for 2008 if I don't find any night/weekend ones nearby.
Thanks! Yes, I have heard a lot of horror stories about the schools there. We are homeschooling now, and I was thinking about just getting my oldest into daycare with the youngest when I am in school and homeschooling her at night.
