  1. Question About Stretched Ears

    i work with several RNs that have stretched lobes, most of them wear clear glass or plastic plugs to work. none of them are stretched larger than 1.5 inch though. nasal piercings are common, many of my coworkers have a discreet nose stud and most o...
  2. Nurses~

  5. Thank You for Nothing

  6. Good hospitals in Austin for a Critical Care nurse?

    i work critical care for Seton at Brack. If you like adult cardiac (including transplants) Seton Medical Center on 38th also known as Seton Main is the place for you. If you like adult heavy trauma, trauma with a large dose of neuro thrown in then...
  7. Controversial new policies at Baylor!!!!

    that's absolutely ridiculous. whether people approve or not, using tobacco is LEGAL. period. testing for it, and treating it's users like hard core drug addicts is just wrong. my grandmother smokes like a freight train and i dont like it but she'...
  8. Controversial new policies at Baylor!!!!

    i also meant to add, if they dont want tobacco users on our staff, well there goes about 85% of your surgical staff. including the surgeons actually they'd lose a good portion of the doctors as well as a good chuck of the nursing staff. whether o...
  9. Controversial new policies at Baylor!!!!

    so what makes the cut i'd like to know?!? a SBP of 130? 140? 150? what the hell sorta lab values are "acceptable?" it's my personal medical info and my boss has no business knowing my blood pressure! and i'm a nonsmoker but last time i checked...

    girl, how on earth do you do it?? even when i worked days, after 12-13hrs running around at work all i had the energy for was to put my feet up & watch TV. even then i crashed usually within a couple hrs of getting home (DH found me passed out ...

    is your manager ok with a trial period? i had a coworker who tried days for a couple weeks then decided it wasnt for her & went back to nights, our manager was fine with the trial. if you can try it, go for it!!! she found that she was just as ...
  12. Too old for ICU?

    i would NEVER accept a job from a manager that said something like that unless i was desperate. he/she has told you two things right there: 1- they do not like employees who take a day off, even if you are sick 2- they do not want their employees to...
  13. SCHEDULING/WEEKENDS

    we dont do seniority, if you are fulltime (36hrs weekly) then you are expected to sign up for 4 weekend shifts per schedule (each schedule is 4 weeks.) the way we do holidays is everyone fills out a sheet in late Sept telling which is their 1st choi...
  14. Maintaining the license without work, and a general rant

    Texas is not begging for nurses that's for sure. Texas is flooded with new grads & everyone with experience who can't get jobs anywhere else!! In my system we have 100+ people competing for one experienced slot in some cases..and there are zill...
  15. Preceptor gift

    i think i was misunderstood. in our hospital system preceptors get their normal hourly wage plus a precepting bonus (kinda like a shift diff) for precepting. so for example, say your base pay is normally $26.00/hr and you work nights and you have b...
