  1. VA 72/80 schedule

    Unfortunately during our meeting the union rep emphasized to the upper management that if they did this they would be paying us for 8hrs every check we are not working and told them it is really a tool that should be utilized for recruitment. Well a...
  2. VA 72/80 schedule

    I have a meeting this week with our management team, assistant chief, chief, HR, and the union to formally make a proposal for our unit to use this schedule. Will update with info afterwards and if it works I will help others if I can. Per the VA ha...
  3. VA 72/80 schedule

    They have the ability to do this as I know several units in different VA hospitals that do. It would require work on the part of HR and payroll but it's not impossible.
  4. VA 72/80 schedule

    No you would work just like private sector 6 12 hr shifts that equal 72hrs over a pay period but per VA policy you are considered a full time 80hr employee though you are now logged for business purposes as 0.9fte
  5. VA 72/80 schedule

    Has anyone made any headway on in acting this work schedule in your unit? I am presenting to management my units desire for this schedule next week and would appreciate any help anyone can offer. So far our argument to support such change include ...
  6. Any info at all on bkat 8 pleeeaassse

    Took this as a new grad pre- and post- orrientation and scores were comparable to the above poster. Only one person scored in the 90's out of 15 after orientation and I believe I made an 86. Just passed CCRN today!!! :)
  7. Differential for Floating

    We used to get around $3/hr but get nothing now with budget cuts. This is around a 1000 bed level 1 facility.
  8. Info on CMC and Presbyterian

    I cant answer for Presbyterian but at CMC you should be able to ask for atleast your current rate if not a little more. Shift diff 3p-7a = $4 and W/E diff = $3. There is no on site daycare. My opinion on the Magnet status is that its not what its ...
  9. Six Blood Products available???? HELP

    PRBC's, FFP, Platelets, Cryo, Whole blood, and .... the last is slipping my mind right now. I guessing that is what you are looking for.
  10. RN with EMT cert???

    Depends on what you want to do. If you had your EMT-P i would say def. don't let it go b/c you will regret it. If you wan't to do flight I would keep it up. I have my EMT-P and RN and won't let my medic cert go b/c there is no way I would ever go ...
  11. Maslows Doesn't apply here?

    Dont make this harder than it is. Remember CO = SV x HR (at this rate, the heart is beating slow enough it should not really decrease ventricular filling or SV) So the tachycardia could be due to the slight temp. or as you stated, the pt has a decr...
  12. Was anyone else shocked with this propofol story?

    Low dose or not, you wont find me putting any of my non-tubed pt's on propofol. There are plenty of other sedatives that dont cause the resp. compromise and do a good job.
  13. How Long Should I Work as a New Grad?

    One of my very good friends left with the peace corps just after her first year of work as an RN and she is doing just fine.
  14. Dating Coworkers??

    I don't date anyone who works on the same unit as I do. As you said, things can get messy. There is plenty of other people outside my unit and don't have to worry about as much drama this way.
  15. Do you always state that you are a nurse?

    Agree with traumaRUs
