  1. Travelling to Mobile, Alabama

    the pay will probable not be good. That area doesn't pay well. where are you going to be working? Didn't know they were using travelers now.
  2. Crna School Interview Help?

    It really just depends on the school. The best thing is to try and find someone attending that school or someone who has interviewed there. Most of the school want to know your skill level and how you will pay for it. Some schools have a panel of ...
  3. put me on ccu

    it just depends on where you work. some ccu's have very sick patients. balloon pumps and the works. others are very mild. sometimes i don't mind getting a float from floor. other times i really don't have the time to keep an eye on their patien...
  4. Oral care protocol

    actually, several of the hospitals I have worked have used the "oral protocol". This usually involves Peridex (a mixture of mouthwash and peroxide, also called cholrahexadine) every three hours. They did have evidence based studies that showed dec...
  5. What does $35.00 hr (blended) mean?

    It means they have added everything back into the hourly rate. For example, you will get $30/hr + $5/hr housing for a total of $35/hr. You really have to watch them about this. They can be pretty sneaky. If you are interested in it the best thing...

  8. Fort Walton Beach Medical Center

    well, the staffing ratio should be 1:2 but when you are short or have call ins, this is what happens. they don't believe in closing beds. that means patients must go to other hospitals and they lose money. they had rather work the poor nurses for ...

  12. Why Continue Accuchecks on 92-Year-Old Comatose Patient...

    if the family has stated "comfort care only" then you shouldn't cont accuchecks, labs, antibiotics, ect. sometimes if the patient has been on oxygen,i will cont it.(more for the family, for some reason it seems to make them feel better) otherwise, ...

    i agree. of course tell me the pertinent information (they do have a foley, trach, ect.) but don't tell me breath sounds, opinions on family ect. i will figure that out soon enough and had rather have "just the facts". as far as neuro, (i realize...
  14. Interested in Hawaii, have pets!

    yes, there is away around the 6 month quarantine. by having a rabies titer drawn 6 months before you plan to go to hawaii, you only have to quarantine your dogs for three days. problem with that is, what is available now (jobs) may not be available...
