  1. autopilot mindset med errors

    I'm not sure how your facility is but when I worked in LTC we scanned meds and I don't recall having to give heparin. In the hospital we scan meds, and we use different syringes for insulin and heparin. It's very odd to me that they would use insuli...
  2. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    I would only ever leave a position if something else is lined up first, and I'm only willing to leave for the *right* job. I have applied a few places that are of actual interest rather than taking whatever I can get. I don't think they are trying t...
  3. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    I have tried searching high and low! I live in a very small area (there's 2 hospitals in our whole county). I've tried looking into insurance companies, the biggest in our area is high mark blue cross blue shield and they are not hiring in this part ...
  4. Thoughts on calling an RR?

    Yes I work on PCU. We did call the supervisor to let her know, she was actually on the floor with us at that point. Mandatory staff to respond is the NS, hospitalist, ICU charge nurse, and respiratory. Sometimes I think we as a facility underutiliz...
  5. Thoughts on calling an RR?

    I'll try to make this as brief as possible. I had a frequent flyer who was in with CHF exacerbation and a fib with RVR, who had just been discharged the day before for a GI bleed. Was taken off cardizem gtt because her BP couldn't tolerate it before ...
  6. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    What do you do ? It seems like the only non bedside positions available in my area are case management and I do not have the 5 years RN experience they require
  7. Acute care vs. office nursing, which do you prefer?

    I thought I'd like 12's but I rarely get to work 3 on 4 off as I would like. The draw for me to the office is that I'd have the same schedule as my husband whereas right now we are not off together often.
  8. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    The only thing open is CDU and ED, which I considered CDU but they close often/are put on call and I wouldn't want to have to constantly use my PTO just to have a paycheck. I do keep looking though!
  9. Those of you who have worked both acute care and office nursing, which do you prefer and why ? I am currently working on a cardiac step down unit but have an interview for a cardiologists office this week.I'm just not sure what I want to do! I don't...
  10. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    It is the nurse manager, who I spoke to. That's the one who said they print out a report to look at the shifts and they would take another look, which is how I ended up getting off the Sunday after thanksgiving. I have asked to swap shifts but of cou...
  11. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    The thing is we get a print out of our schedule along with everyone else's on it.... So we can see first hand who is and isn't doing their required shifts. There are very few (probably 5) out of 30 nurses doing their required weekends, and other than...
  12. I just wanted some helpful advice. I have been a nurse for 4 years, I've been working at my current job at the hospital for about a little less than a year. I Don't like all the weekends and holidays(does anyone ?) but I REALLY HATE that I in partic...
  13. Question about 12 hr shifts that are overnight

    I have never heard of a program requiring over night shifts, though I suppose it's possible. When I was in clinical, the latest we finished was around 5. On the floor I work on, the latest we have ever had students is 9. I agree with the other poster...
  14. Is My Pay Really That Bad???

    Little old Delaware!
  15. Is My Pay Really That Bad???

    People say cost of living determines wage but where I live this is sooo not true. I live in this weird cross between farmland and the beach. So because we are rural and also a resort town our cost of living is pretty high. 2 years as an RN and 2 year...
