Gee, I guess I am glad my job in the float pool isn't as bad as your occasional float experiences. a lot of that is probably that I expect to float every single day. I wish I could say that I got six...

Good for you. It is amazing what correcting a chemical imbalance can do, isn't it?

I'm not sure how facial piercings equal not being clean.

You can still have a life. We have three kids, took a trip or two, and managed fine. It's all about time management and prioritizing (oh, how you'll hate those words). I won't say there weren't...

I switched my accounts to a new user name because I was worried things I said made it too easy to identify me. I've gotten a little slack but you can bet your sweet bippy that I won't risk my...

"I'm really looking forward to improving my time managment skills."

Footprints.com lets you try shoes out for a while, and they carry Berks and Dansko for sure. I think also Algeria (Alegria? can't remember). Great company and really good trial policy.

Check out ultrascopes. I have a HOH classmate who got one and likes it a lot. I have a standard and I hear better with it than my Littman. I also like that you can customize them (including uploading...

QFT. I loooove my mini sharpies. I have a red and a black hanging on my lanyard and I use them for marking samples, noting abnormals, writing notes, whatever. Super handy. Target carries them, and...

Upper Midwest, I'll be starting at $29.61 in med-surg float. I think there's a shift differential for nights but I'm not sure.

I interviewed for a position on Monday and the manager said he was comfortable hiring someone with zero experience because all the training would happen on the job.

Uch, my grandmother used to slather everything with merchurochrome. She called it "monkey blood" for some reason. I didn't tell her I was hurt unless it was really bad.

They might for a per diem position, but not ft. It's too expensive, frankly. I work both as a CMA and as RN, depending on the shift I work, but only on an as-needed basis. They wouldn't hire me ft to...

Don't read the venting threads?

Unless there's a true shortage where you live, I'd take the job you're offered, not the one you *hope* you'll get. If you can afford to keep working as a NA and wait, then it might make sense, but...

I do, and it's great. I have the best manager I've ever had, hands down, a great bunch of coworkers, and enough change day-to-day to keep it interesting. I wouldn't say my pay is awful, given that...

At my PP, the CMAs and LPNs can do pretty much everything but prescribe, take verbal orders or dispense meds. Our CMA bags up prescriptions and then we do the dispensing (in the EMR). The CMA can...

WHOA illegal question.

I'm starting to appreciate the lost art of glove wearing. I mean the gloves people wore in public, not medical ones. Just wear them in public, take them off to eat, etc., et voila, clean hands when...

I try to guess if I could stick them or not.

I sleep more. And I'm on my fourth (probable) virus illness since December started. Those are about the only changes. Oh, and I eyeball veins wherever I go.

Take the jobs you're offered and you'll find you get more interviews once you have something besides school on your resume. If you want FNP, you might want to consider Planned Parenthood, since most...

We got to plant our own desktop terrariums, with everything we need included. Mine is about to bloom. I like it a lot. It's something that will last and it's a living thing that won't refuse meds,...

I make $25/hr for clinic work, local hospitals start about $29. No experience beyond school, upper Midwest. I'm pretty pleased, overall. Any weekends I work are 4-hour shifts, and no nights.

Totally. They are hoping for a way to make space for me, but it's hard when people don't really leave unless they're moving out of town. I consider that the sign of a good employer, kwim? Training...
