Our agency uses Cerner RoadNotes and it is terrible! The opposite of user friendly/intuitive. Crashes frequently, etc. Bad, bad juju.

I have learned to not ask Him for patience or He will give me a means and a reason to learn it.

Emergency Nurse - I don't think your sentiment matches what the OP is trying to suggest and lacks the very sensitivity that you are insisting the OP have. Not all nursing is bedside nursing, and...

Go2WorkSource.com - Search Jobs, Post Rs, Career Resources This covers all of WA (but of course not all jobs are listed here) but many are since it is a free site. Best wishes!

Scary! I have a patient who had a normal little paper cut. She worked in a medical records department. Two weeks later her arm was being eaten alive from the inside out by necrotizing fasciitis...

Well, in the beginning I too, worked for my paycheck. I was not only bored with certain jobs but HATED them and cried most days, despite the fact I was still learning and had the challenges I craved...

Home Health nurse for the last 2 years. Intermittent visits. I LOVE it, but it's not for everybody. This was after 5 years of nursing jobs I did not love. I went into Nursing because I took a...

I don't know what agencies to recommend but I did a private contract with Peacehealth hospital in Ketchikan and they are always looking for temps (or perms!). They pay for your living expenses and...

My agency does not allow this.

I would call the lab and find out. But our lab requires us to deliver them within 4 hours so they can be centrifuged if needed. Otherwise, the specimens themselves are always kept at our lab for 7...

About 6 weeks ago I saw a patient for the first time, and unfortunately have not been scheduled to see him again until yesterday (other nurses have been seeing him). When I saw him the first time I...

Scrub-a-dub-dubs here. There's not really too much of a dress code (no jeans no shorts, no tanks), but I am lazy about fashion and scrubs are easy.

First let me assure you I was kind of (unnecessarily) terrified of phlebotomy. I had never attempted a phlebotomy until I was in HH. I knew the principles, had IV training (but no real...

Yes, but being an RN automatically imbibes more responsibility as per the nature of the licensure. I could work at Starbucks as a barista and would still expect more than a starting wage because of...

Well, I know my company certainly hires travel positions for everything else... except nursing for some reason. Not to say the jobs aren't out there, just don't tend to need travel nurses in my...

Ok, this is something I have wondered about for a loooong time. Keep in mind I DO understand that cases of illness/surgery related hyperglycemia are transiently related to the physiological stresses...

Does anyone know of a comprehensive list of the institutions that have these programs in Western WA? Thanks in advance

Here ya go! http://www.doh.wa.gov/hsqa/Professions/Nursing/documents/RN_byEnd.pdf page 5 will give you the specifics for international licensure.

A few things: 1) you have a lot of education and maybe they think you will expect too much pay and don't want to bother offering you a job you may be "overeducated" for. 2) It's good to use...

You want me to take more responsibility (which having an RN license automatically adds) then you pay me more money or I go work somewhere else.

Dittos! I also do not like being oriented to each nurse's special and specific way of doing this or that thing and expecting me to keep track and do it their way when working with them rather than...

I am guessing... NO.

Interesting discussion here. I would like to add that even mild harassment is that which is unwanted. That is NOT to say I wanted to see his pornos or the woman in the next room, but I was...

Um, NO!

I did not acknowledge my suspicions about the "hooker" ("daughter") to the patient, nor did I acknowledge the pornos. I did not feel threatened, or harassed so therefore I don't feel it's necessary...
