  1. Has anyone gone through the Kaiser background check?

    I'd like to know how you were able to apply for Kaiser's advice nurse position? Did you just look on their careers site often or did you know someone? Would love to apply for that position in the future.
  2. RN Coder

    I am looking to leave bedside nursing due to recent medical issues, and am interested in coding. Are there any RN coders out there who could give me some info on how to get started, where to study, which certification is best, etc? How much do you ma...
  3. How do they rotate your days off?

    every 3rd week i get a weekend off. usually i work 3 or 4 days on, with 1 or 2 days off (8 hour shifts), and it keeps rotating that way each week.
  4. Other nurses signing my initials

    Vanillanut, the problem is I'm not sure who signed those initials. My DON is known to do whatever it takes to make herself look good, maybe it was her. Or it could have even been medical records, as they're the same way when consultants visit. But y...
  5. Other nurses signing my initials

    I'm more than aware of how to legally sign a MAR, and document why a med wasn't given.
  6. Other nurses signing my initials

    thank you!
  7. Other nurses signing my initials

    I agree, it has become harsh here. thank you for your response.
  8. Other nurses signing my initials

    Good idea. I do check my MAR at the end of every med pass. Like I said, I'm usually 100% with it (with my special pen), but I had 2 emergencies that night where I had to call 911, and it happened, in my exhausted, no-break, no-time to pee state, that...
  9. Other nurses signing my initials

    So none of you have ever forgotten to sign for a med in the MAR? I understand where you're coming from and agree completely. While I feel management isn't on my side, the usual protocol is that they call the nurse and ask them to come sign it, even ...
  10. Other nurses signing my initials

    Today as I was doing my med pass I noticed 2 separate spaces where someone had filled in my initials for the previous day's meds on the MAR. Isn't this illegal? I'm usually on top of the MAR, as my facility is very strict on there not being any blan...
  11. Idaho ADN interested in CA jobs

    i moved from Idaho back to the bay area as an ADN RN. i was lucky enough to find a job at a skilled nursing rehab facility (after 3 months of searching), but i've been "stuck" here for almost 2 years. there is absolutely nothing out there for RN's at...
  12. If you could do it all over.....

    I would choose another profession if I could go back in time. I'm also in my 20's and am already burned out. I feel sad saying that, but it's how I feel at this point in time. I hope that changes and I once again love what I do.
  13. Any nurses have SVT or IST?

    I was just recently diagnosed with IST. My heart rate was in the 160s at times (after wearing a holter monitor). I'm now on Coreg 3.125mg BID. But i still experience palpitations and have had a few episodes of my heart rate over 110, usually while at...
  14. meds late from pharmacy

    Our policy is that we must give it within 4 hours of receiving the order. We have an e-kit with most common atb's. Sometimes it is 2 days before the pharmacy delivers the meds. I can't imagine waiting that long to start an atb.
  15. I'm starting this August (RN-BSN) as well. I've read a ton of good reviews, so you have to take it all with a grain of salt I think. The only issue I have right now is finding out why some credits didn't transfer. So far they've been very professiona...
