  1. MARS: electronic or paper?

    I also work in a LTC facility, we have been told we are going to computer charting for at least two years. Gee I hope so. If I give a prn I have to chart in 5 different locations!! It's so redundant. Also hand written mars for new admits are a disast...

  7. New Grad RN job

    I also am having trouble finding a job as a RN. My 2 1/2 years as an LPN on the med/surge floor in a small hosp apparently means nothing. I've tried home-care, hospice, hosp within 30 mins away. (I live in North IN- snow belt) AS for LTC been I got m...
  8. No, no and no...It should be the individuals decision. We don't even know if the H1N1 vax is effective, the side effects etc. The vax was rushed in the making and the media is scaring the heck out of people. No way will I ever take a "mandatory" inje...
