   Luvsthesnow replied to Luvsthesnow's topic in Quality Improvement

   Just an update... The position freeze has been lifted and my interview went extremely well. She was very enthusiastic about hiring me and I already have a second interview scheduled for next week. I've been talking with some of the MD's in my practic...

2. Quality Improvement Position

   Luvsthesnow replied to Luvsthesnow's topic in Quality Improvement

   Thank you! I've been brushing up on the Quality terms, how the CMS P4P reimbursement works, national quality metrics, etc. I enjoy analyzing data and know on the frontline here at work where there are gaps in care and where there is room for improvem...

5. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

   Luvsthesnow replied to coco42rn's topic in Med-Surg

   I should clarify that I work in the East Bay and live in Berkeley. I'm about a 20 min. drive to work and 20 min. into SF. My apartment is 1500/month, but a nice one bedroom, shared pool, workout facility, etc. San Francisco is far too expensive for m...

7. When is high too high?

   Luvsthesnow replied to Maddy_Rose's topic in Med-Surg

   I would worry about this patient going into V-Tach with a sustained HR in the 140's. They should definitely be on Tele and maybe PO or IV Meds to control the rate. I agree with the previous posts.. trust your gut and call the Doc... and push to have ...

8. Med-Surg floor sucks, and nursing unions

   Luvsthesnow replied to coco42rn's topic in Med-Surg

   The San Francisco Bay area is where it's at! Competitive pay and Staffing Laws (max of 5:1) make it much nicer. I have 5+ years experience and am working at a magnet hospital making 65/hr with benefits. Still on night shift which is a bummer, but I l...
