   Thanks Gomer. I also signed up for their weekly online version. Lot's of good info there.

2. Where are the Nurse Job Ads??

   BobFromER posted a topic in California

   Just moved to Southern CA from Ohio and still looking for just the right job (and not necessarily ER again). I've been watching the Orange Co. Register and the LA Times, and there just are not that many advertisements for nursing jobs. When I was i...

3. Survey: Do you think hospitals should require a uniform code for nurses?

   BobFromER replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   IMHO I think some uniform guidelines are necessary to protray a professional image. We have some staff members who would come to work in shorts and sandals if they could get away with it. I would add that I think that a hospital should PAY for the...

4. Triage differential pay?

   BobFromER replied to Carlos7's topic in Emergency

   I'd never heard of a differential for Triage, but it makes sense. At our ER, some nurses love triage, others dread it. I am among those that like it, but would not want to do it exclusively. Recently, our admin has decided that 4 hours at triage ...

5. How does triage happen at your facility?

6. Online Degree??

   BobFromER replied to BobFromER's topic in General Nursing

   This may be an "old" topic here, but I need some help and advice. I have an Associate Degree and have been in nursing full and part-time for almost 30 years. I would love to get a BSN and have been looking into an online course from the Univ. of Ph...

8. A matter of choice.

   BobFromER posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'm new here and I think the discussion is great. I've found that discussions on the topic of circumcision can get very mean spirited. It's a "sensitive" issue! I feel that the decision to circ or not to circ should be left up to the person who wil...

9. What's in a name?

   BobFromER posted a topic in Humor

   We received a bunch of patients all at once that had been displaced from their apartments due to a fire in the building. They were being triaged for possible smoke inhalation. We wrote down names as they came in - twins - 4 years old - Lamongelo an...
