Do you use one that has a shoulder strap and if so, does that become a hindrance for you at times? Thanks for your help!

:igtsyt:I just retook the ACLS. Cost me $150 for a one day for the proficient ACLS. It was cheaper than the 2 day. I read the book carefully, knew my ECG strips and understood the meds that needed...

Well after a two year ordeal (3 if you include the year of preparing for retaking the NCLEX), I finally have a job in a hospital making double what I've been making. I made it through a torturous...

If you use an iPad in a hospital setting, do you use a case and if so, which one do you use? Does a shoulder bag work? An iPad lab coat? That seemed a bit much but not sure. Any thoughts on this...

If you happen to work in my area and this were the case, I would highly advise you to stay put. That mega-hospital is running the show here and it is like pulling teeth trying to get in the door. ...

I, too, living in South Florida. I have ten years of experience in NICU and OR and pediatrics. I stayed home with my children (which was the right thing to do) for 18 years. I have stayed abreast...

That is true. You can put security on your iPad to protect it.

One of the nicest features of both the iPad and the iPhone is the one that triangulates the position of the device. If you have an Internet connection and someone steals your iPad and you have...

What this is is the Thirty-One carrier http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/ I am not a representative for them. You have to find one in your area. For $6 they emboss these with your name. I also am...

That's great! Home health has many faces believe it or not. Part of the reason for that is that there are many social classes, environments, family situations, and cultures that you will find in...

I have found an ability to use my counseling and teaching skills in home health. The pay is not as much, but for the most part it has been encouraging for me. I too like that part of nursing very...

This is true sometimes, not all the time. I met many parents that never raised their voices and understood completely why I was there; however, I do know the type of parent you are speaking of. One...

That is so true. I have gotten computer generated letters stating that there are other candidates more qualified only to see the job sit on the employment board for months after that.:crying2:

I live in South Florida. There are no openings in the hospitals unless you have major experience.

:yeah: That is so true. We are human and as much as we try not to, mistakes happen. There are people that I know personally who have discovered how easy it is to sue and make lots of money suing...

I assume you have recent hospital experience. If so, the sky's the limit as far as I can see. I wanted that kind of reception when I came back in 2009. Instead, I can't get my foot in the door. ...

I am amazed at this.

I have been able to find work in two places to hopefully gain the experience that will eventually qualify me for a good paying job. One is home health and the other is the care of the elderly. I know...

I have had the opportunity to float to several schools in my large metropolis; and so far, I have not seen a consistent way that things are done. I am specially in the school for the chronically ill...

Hope you had a nice break. I am presently doing school nursing. I am surprised that anyone in the school administration is saying this order is "unnecessary." Where I come from, nobody would say...

I have been a nurse for many years and have come back after an 18 year time of staying home to raise my children. There have been more than a few times when I ran across something new that I knew...

Those are about $45-$70 for the first visit and about $30 for all subsequent visits. But just know that sometimes you are stuck there for over an hour. You really have to organize your time.

Right and I would take you to court and sue your butt off and win. :D Freedom of speech is our most protected right and without redress says exactly what it says. You can't redress. You can't...

I am deeply concerned about the way people do not understand their right to speak out against tyranny, evil and unfairness. That is exactly why we have those freedoms. Not only can we present them...

I think that you might have felt more comfortable had the child had something for pain before you arrived or when you arrived. Even in adults, the wound vac protocols state over and over that pain...
