  1. Low Census-what's up?!

    Yeah has been extremely slow off and on for the past month or two. Just this last week we have been completely full. Seems like it is picking up but has been very irregular. Very hard to judge. Normally our hospital is at capacity by now
  2. CABG tips?

    I wanted to hear some of the nursing care that experienced nurses can provide for the care of a CABG patient. Not everything can be learned in books and some information is passed on from nurse to nurse. Can you give maybe horror stories of CABG's g...

  7. Overtime Pay for Change of Shift Report

    New law that they take it out automatically. You should be forced to clock out for 30 min. At first they were taking it out automatically every shift. Now they are making us clock out. If we don't clock out then it is the worst thing you could have e...

  12. Nursing Union

    What are some of the benefits and downfalls of joining a nursing union? Another note: I still think we should get paid alot more for what we do. If they can afford to pay a prn nurse time and a half for that shift then they can afford to pay me that...
  13. Is Health insurance in the wrong

    Health insurance really only covers you when you actually get sick. Shouldnt health care be placed to a more preventitive type of service where you are screened with lab tests, physicals and taught by health educators. Trying to catch a disease befor...
  14. Lets get ready to rumble!!!!
