  1. Austin Hospitals Charting System

    St. David's system uses Meditech. From what I recall, Seton uses Compass.
  2. UnitedHealth Field Service Coordinator

    Thanks for the feedback. I had the phone interview and now I wait. I worked from home in a previous job for 15 years, and all of my work was done on the computer and via email and Internet, so I'm not intimidated by the technology component. I'm more...
  3. Hello, I have a telephone interview for a Field Service Coordinator position with UnitedHealth. I've been a nurse for a little over 4 years, working in intermediate care (ICU stepdown) and ED. I've been reading through the postings here and had a fe...

  5. So You Want To Move To Texas?

    I graudated last year and got a job with the unit for which I was a CNA. I live in Austin, and our hospital system had 1200 new grads apply for 100 available spots. Here's the main problem with new grads: hospitals in big cities have tons of new grad...
  6. Teachers Becoming Nurses

    I taught elementary school for seven years, and I just finished my first year of nursing. I wouldn't go back to teaching. As much as I love teaching, I don't like the behavior management aspect, and the parents can be more of a pain than the kids. Al...
  7. Floating? I need your comments!

    Thanks everyone! Y'all are great. KelRN, I think I'll use your exact quote in my presentation.
  8. Floating? I need your comments!

    Also, it's interesting to me that the first three comments involve "who": who can I go to for help, who is responsible if problems arise, who can I depend on. Good stuff! This will certainly help with the content of my presentation.
  9. Floating? I need your comments!

    I understand the issues with floating, which my best practice addresses. As part of my presentation, I'd like to provide our administrators with some comments from "real" nurses that relay their emotions/attitude toward floating, positive or negative...
  10. Floating? I need your comments!

    Hello, all, I'm putting together a best practice presentation for my hospital staff, and I'm collecting nurses's thoughts about floating. If you could, please respond with a one- or two-sentence answer to the following scenario: "You come in for your...
  11. Pearson Vue Trick - Poll once you receive your results

    Got the good sign after taking the test on Friday; this morning Quick Results says I passed!
  12. Tell me I'll be okay...

    I'm graduating next month from an RN program. I worked full-time (two jobs) while in school, and I'm married with one daughter. I did an online program, which didn't require lectures but I did attend all the same labs and clinicals as on-land student...
  13. Critical Care Trauma Nurse Parkland

    I'm imagining why.
  14. Current hiring condition of new grad nurses in Texas

    New grad positions in larger metro areas aren't impossible to get, but there's a lot of competition. In Austin, hiring managers are saying they get 150 applications for every new grad position, and the two major hospitals will hire about 75-100 new g...
  15. Hello, everyone, I was wondering what your thoughts were about sending an email follow-up/thank-you letter for an interview I had today. The managers are going to make their decision early next week, and I'd like to get my letter in before they do. H...
