   movealong replied to carpe diem's topic in Triage

   Sounds professional, but caring. Smile when you talk. They'll probably ask you some triage questions...

3. Need advice about interviewing with Kaiser Permanente

   movealong replied to bigislandgyrl's topic in California

   I worked for Kaiser for 13 years, both in their hospitals and clinics. Best jobs I ever had. It's been 8 years ago, so I don't know how they are now. I left because I relocated and there were no Kaisers here. The nurses tend to stay a long time usua...

   movealong replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

   I do telephone triage from home. But starting next month, I'll switch to disease management, still from home, just a different division of the same company. Look under the telephone triager section board here. I posted lots about my job there.

5. question for RN's who started out as LPN's

   movealong replied to mkf0605's topic in General Nursing

   It helped me to be an LPN first. I was totally comfortable with giving patient care, totally at home in a hospital setting. I was familiar with drugs, and medical procedures. How could that not help? My instructors knew it too. I didn't walk into pat...

   I'll be relocating soon. I won't get any help with any relocation fees because I work for a company that has us work from home. So I can take my job with me. My salary stays the same no matter where I chose to resettle. But it's worth it to me to kee...

   MLK has a rep for sure. Their trauma dept handles lots of gunshots and stabbing wounds. Very very rough.

   movealong replied to Ms.RN's topic in New Nurse

   Ideally, your preceptor should be helping you and directing you to making decisions on your own. You should be talking over any certain situation and discuss it in a way that involves a decision making process based on the factors at hand. I feel I'...

12. Do nurses take work home?

    movealong replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    I do have some work that would fall under "take home" but I'm sure it's not on the level of what teachers do. I have to take classes for my CEU's to keep my licenses up. Those are done online. But I do get paid for time I put in on them. Also, becaus...
