1. Anyone traveling in Las Vegas now?

   KaraThrace replied to luvbnrn's topic in Travel

   Just wondering if you have settled in anywhere, started on your unit (was it cath lab??). Just generally how you are faring. Please let me know if there is anything I could help with and good luck. ^_^

2. Dear British "Hoaxed" Nurse:

   KaraThrace replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Relations

   In my very humble and subjective opinion, the facility failed this nurse. Security measures should have been in place such that "just anyone" could never have called directly to the staff caring for a princess, period.

3. witnessing a DNR

   KaraThrace replied to turnforthenurse's topic in General Nursing

   Agreed. I also wonder how having a "stranger" sign a document that I am assuming is stamped/stickered or some how labeled with the pt's name, dob, age--or even involving them in witnessing--is not in violation of HIPPA law? Very much worth further d...

   KaraThrace replied to luvbnrn's topic in Travel

   Hello, I am not a traveler (but interested, hence browsing this forum). But I did just finish working one year in Las Vegas, at SHMC. Small world. I was able to find a one bedroom apartment very near the hospital for $650/mo, which was a great deal ...

6. Packing/Organization Tip for Travel Nursing?

   KaraThrace posted a topic in Travel

   Howdy All! Long time lurker, first time posting here. I have finally made the leap and have a recruiter "presenting me" to several accounts. I have searched high and low for some packing tips, lists, organizational help or tips for the Travel Nurse. ...

7. charting?

   KaraThrace replied to qpmz's topic in Travel

   I am a little jaded yet to maybe speak to E-charting. I spent the beginning of my carreer hand charting as many of us--and still kind of liked the convenience of jotting down significant points right at the door--in the moment--while things were stil...

10. LPN-BSN Programs?

    KaraThrace replied to KaraThrace's topic in LPN-RN

    Thank you both so much for your replies. I honestly had not even known such bridge programs (LPN>RN) existed until recently! I am still digging around. Texas, while appealing is a bit far...but if accredited and affordable--might just to investiga...

13. pinning ceremony participation

    KaraThrace replied to NurseNiecy's topic in General Nursing

    I actually gave this subject thought--but have landed heavily on the side of attending my ceremony. My performance in my undergrad. degree program was...well....lets just say mediocre at best, and while that graduation was a nice day-it lacked someth...
