Hello. I am an RN in NC. My husband is from Casper/Wright WY area...we are considering a move back to that area.. I'd love to have some input as far as hospitals, size of hospitals, wages for RN with 18 yrs exp. ICU/OB/TRAUMA...would probably want...
I agree. I would be uncomfortable as well. We don't use CMT's. I've never worked with them. If I'm responsible for the patient, I will give my own meds. Is this an option for you or is it a requirement that they pass the meds? If there were no ...
I have to go with the danskos....I have the crocks. I just worried about the splatter factor, but that's just because of the specific unit where i work. I like the danskos because my feet, legs, back haven't hurt a day since I got them. and the "c...
