1. penile implants

   BaltoRN replied to jaquar's topic in Urology

   I don't know. That's exactly why I got into dialysis to aviod the penis. I had one pt. (an amputee) who had one put in and I had to check it for infection. Believe me, I gave the Dr. hell when he got to the unit because that was a disgusting situa...

   BaltoRN replied to abigailfaith's topic in Urology

   Ouch, some people are flat out rude. I doubt she was a nurse, probably the unit secretary.

   That does suck, in other words they're making MORE money now that they will be ripping you guys out of $40.00?! Jerks! I would leave.

   Indeed they are and it's because they are the cheapest damned company around! If they don't change soon, the patients WILL catch on and go to the competition!

5. Clinical managers?

   BaltoRN replied to BaltoRN's topic in Urology

7. Experience with FMC?

   BaltoRN replied to rosemadder's topic in Urology

   They suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They've taken away my direct deposit after FOUR years because it's considered a "benefit" and I'm PRN. I faithfully give them two days per week. You cannot imagine what a slap in the face this is. I'm going on an intervi...

8. My favorite patient....

   BaltoRN replied to babs_rn's topic in Urology

   I hear you! It's so hard not to get attached to people you see a few times a week. We just lost one on my unit too, but it was a shock. She was x-mas shopping in the mall and dropped dead of a heart attack.

9. John Hopkins University Hospital

   BaltoRN replied to szccdw's topic in General Nursing

   When I graduated in 1998, they wanted me to work there as an RN for about $5.00 an hour LESS then everywhere else. THey figured that having the name HOPKINS on my resume would be enough. It didn't pay the bills, so I turned it down. It's in a terr...
