3. Pitocin d/c?

   Hello Well I just arrived home after a 4-hour drive. I was on my way to my new job, and had my contract in hand but had to fax it to my recruiter, signed, when I arrived in the first city enroute. I had packed up the car, make a million arrangement...

6. Cedars Sinai

   rnWinn replied to kateyes7's topic in Travel

   I worked antepartum at Cedars last year and absolutely loved it. I was housed in Playa del Rey, which was a 35-min drive but worth it because Playa and Marina del Rey are such great places. I would love to go back if they ever need travellers again...

9. L&D Travel Nurse - Do I HAVE to Float?

   rnWinn posted a topic in Travel

   Hi, I have been looking for a travel nursing position in California. I am getting really frustrated though, because my experience is totally in high risk L&D - no LDRP/postpartum experience. I would have thought it would be easy to get a job......

10. Central Fetal Monitoring

    rnWinn replied to rnWinn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    With the central monitors, do they print out a continuous hard copy at the front desk, or are the hard copies in the room (ie. so you can quickly write things down on them you've done)?

11. Central Fetal Monitoring

    Hi, I am about to move to California to nurse (hopefully in San Diego, or Lompoc, Encinatas, Santa Barbara or nearby). I am used to 1:1 nursing (usually) with continuous EFM, and I am with the patient the whole time. How does it work when you have ce...

14. Silly Question

    rnWinn replied to rnWinn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow that's taking the privacy act a little far if you ask me, some may say the patients/clients are "more than just a number" - ie. you can't please everyone. "Hippa guru" that sounds facetious, although I have no idea what it means:)
