   veriteblesse posted a topic in Radiology

6. Should Female Muslim Psychiatric Patients Be Allowed to Wear Hijabs?

   veriteblesse replied to purplegal's topic in Psychiatric

   Exactly, so when we do know that someone is having a psych crisis, we prepare for the worst possible scenario. Every patient gets stripped down. No sharp cutlery, no aluminum cans. No clothes. Often, no they do not have that right. Involuntary p...

7. Pattern scheduling

   veriteblesse posted a topic in General Nursing

   I just got a new job that I start in 2 months, and I was told that at this job they do pattern scheduling, 12 hours, 3 weekends a month. It was a long interview and I didn't think to ask more about that. Does anyone do pattern scheduling at their f...

   I'm considering a position at a hospital where the observation unit is considered part of the ER and the ER staff is required to staff it. The manager told me that I might be required to work in obs as often as once a week. I'm not super thrilled a...

9. Cerner EMR? Tell me allll about it

   veriteblesse replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in Emergency

   I really like it. I have used both First Net and Surginet (specific components of Cerner) and found it easy to chart and understand. Of course, the only other EMR I used was that DOS-based horror Meditech, so after that almost anything looks amazing.

10. What is the average 2017 Colorado salary

    veriteblesse replied to LPNwithBIGdreams's topic in Colorado

    I'm moving to Colorado this summer and a couple of job applications have asked me what my salary is, and I'm wondering if some of the rejections are due to me asking too much. Or maybe my current rate of $45 an hour makes them think I'll ask an unrea...

11. ER Nurses: Do you think you can work in another specialty??

    veriteblesse replied to Cola89's topic in Emergency

    I thought I wanted to work in another specialty, specifically IR and PACU. But now I have experience in both those areas and I am desperately waiting for my PACU contract to be over so I can go back to the ER. I'm so bored. ER for me, from here out.

    I'm leaving Baycare (mobile pool has no ER jobs!) and looking to pick up work at some other ED's, but don't want to to go HCA because I like keeping my license. So, nurses who work at the FH, Bayfront, and TGH: what's the deal? How are staffing ratio...

15. Accelerated BSN Options

    veriteblesse replied to lilfrank's topic in Florida

    I did my RN to BSN at St. Petersburg College. It's all online, only 4 semesters, and it got the job done. It's pretty cheap, too, and SPC offers a good amount of scholarships. It's accredited and all that jazz, too.
