2. Which should I take?

   OB6658 replied to NickiLaughs's topic in California

   Nikki, This is a decision only you can make...weighing the pros and cons. Corona does have a lousy rep. But not too many hospitals, especially in the IE have good ones. Look at Parkview, its been in/out of bankruptcy since I moved here in 2002! B...

   OB6658 replied to trulara's topic in California

   Wow! I feel awful for your circumstances. There's not much in way of hospitals within a reasonable driving time out there in the high desert. As you already checked into, it would be 1 - 1/2 hour drive (3 hours a day)to and from the base to Barsto...

7. How do you administer Mucomyst orally?

   OB6658 replied to IlovenursingRN's topic in General Nursing

   Well, we always tried the mix in Coke route first. It was a challenge when you had to fight with the 14 year old to drink it. And if she/he vomited afterward...we had to go with the NG tube route. Of course, if oral was impossible because of fighti...

   OB6658 replied to SheilaORN's topic in California

   Here's the link to the payscale at Riverside County Hospital. This is all jobs for the county, you have to look under "registered nurse" to get all the levels. Hope this helps anyone. http://agency.governmentjobs.com/riverside/default.cfm?action=a...

    OB6658 replied to Sonia,RN's topic in General Nursing
