1. The meeting went awful, I'm job hunting

   RNMommy2 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Home Health

   I do not blame you one bit for looking. I quit soon after I sat down and figured up my pay for the week and was making $14 an hour. I went to a hospital and can make in 2- 12 hour shifts a week what It was taking me all week to make in Home Health. L...

2. Do Endo RN's give anesthesia ??

   RNMommy2 replied to JoAnna McNurse's topic in Gastroenterology

   Where I "worked" the CRNA always pushed the IV conscious sedation because they were available. Prior to my leaving I had an incident that made me uncomfortable regarding this same subject. Because the CRNA is always there none of the RN's have been t...

3. Is your surgery dept. anything like this?

   RNMommy2 replied to RNMommy2's topic in Operating Room

   Just an update....I am no longer in surgical nursing. I am now in another specialty but wanted to let you know I did heed to the advice and got out of a bad situation. Thanks for all of your feedback.

4. Weekend RN option

   RNMommy2 replied to RNMommy2's topic in General Nursing

   The specialty unit I am going to be doing prn's for offers $30 hr during the week and several dollars more for the weekend/night shift. All of their weekends are staffed by prn's so I was going to ask if they would be willing to do the 24 for 32. I w...

5. Weekend RN option

   RNMommy2 posted a topic in General Nursing

   :monkeydance: My husband and I have been talking about me doing the weekend option where I work 2 12's and get paid for 32. That would allow me to be home with our kids M-F and he could keep the kids S & S. He is off one day during the week so we...

6. I could really use some advice.

   RNMommy2 replied to RN mom of 2's topic in General Nursing

   How about an every other week-end RN at a nursing home? These ads are constantly in our local paper and from what I hear they usually involve supervision only and maybe the treatments.

7. Most RN's first borns?

   I am the first born and my Father is an alcoholic.

8. Can a Pregnant RN be in Recovery Room / PACU?

   RNMommy2 replied to PollyPutTheKettleOn's topic in PACU

   Polly, I can't think of any reason a you could not do PACU while pregant. You are on your feet a great deal but that is the case with most jobs in nursing. If you need to help move a pt after surgery I would just round up a couple of coworkers. Most ...

9. Intake Coordinator RN anyone?

   RNMommy2 replied to RNMommy2's topic in Home Health

   Thanks for the info. I guess I should clarify I don't really hate the oasis. I just hated the oasis and packet that came with it because after I was finished with the visit and packet I usually averaged about $15 hour. The paperwork itself did not bo...

10. Intake Coordinator RN anyone?

    RNMommy2 posted a topic in Home Health

    I am interviewing and am negotiating salary for an intake RN position. I have over 9 years of home health experience but have never worked at an agency that needed this position. This is a large agency that receives 7 to 10 referrals a day. This nurs...

11. Is your surgery dept. anything like this?

    RNMommy2 replied to RNMommy2's topic in Operating Room

    Jolie, The things you have said are true. I have worked very hard to get my license and don't want to do anything to risk losing it. It may not even be an issue in a few weeks but there are other things that make me consider obtaining alternate emplo...

12. Is your surgery dept. anything like this?

    RNMommy2 replied to RNMommy2's topic in Operating Room

    I guess to a certain extent I am. The tech does not go in the OR and she does not give meds. She will be leaving to go back to school in a few weeks. At that point they may not even have a tech. Like I said I am interviewing and I can not quit withou...

13. Is your surgery dept. anything like this?

    RNMommy2 replied to RNMommy2's topic in Operating Room

    I am looking but can not just quit or we would not be able to pay our bills. I can not just take any job out there because my children would not be picked up in time. The location of my home prevents me from having multiple choices for childcare and ...

14. Is your surgery dept. anything like this?

    RNMommy2 replied to RNMommy2's topic in Operating Room

    So, do any of you think that keeping my name on my own charts and not being a part of it is enough to keep me from sinking if anything comes of it? Or do you think the entire dept will be in trouble? It does not happen on a daily basis but when we h...

15. Tomorrow will be a bad,bad day!

    RNMommy2 replied to ortess1971's topic in Operating Room

    We just started computers too. I find it takes about twice as long as paper charting. We are only allowed to be logged into one computer at a time so in order to work on two patients (such as in recovery) you have to exit out of about 5 screens in or...
