  1. NursesRX

    I thought my first NursesRX recruiter was pretty shady. Because of him, I've been stiffed out of a recruiting bonus. My GF forgot to put my name on her application, but the recruiter (we had the same one) said he would fix it. (Yes, we goofed, but...
  2. Kansas City?

    KS and MO are NOT compact states (wish they were). However, I'm hoping to travel into KCMO starting January. Nothing firm at this time. Feel free to PM me.
  3. Nurses Rx...anyone travel with them????

    I have never worked an assignment for them. However, a GF has and was't too thrilled. The high dollar completion bonus lure kept diminishing the more interested she became in the company/assignment. Her final bonus was about 1/3 of the advertised/...
  4. Travel and taxes..... Question

    Mods...... If this isn't the right place, please move it. I am a traveling RN. Per IRS, unless I want to pay a ton of back taxes, I cannot remain in one state (outside of my legal state of residence) for greater than 365 days. My question..... How ...
  5. Hospital cancelled my contract!?!

    As a soon-to-be traveler, I'm loving all these threads!! I do have a question, though.... can I have written into my contract if I have no documented 'discipline' or 'personality' problems (like the 'problems' talked about above) that I will continue...
  6. setting up EVDs

    What system do you use? How can you drain and get a pressure reading at the same time through the transducer? With the system we use, we have to turn the stopcock off to get ICP readings (as well as wave forms). We also document hourly output and ...
  7. Patients on Vacation????(long)

    as a matter of course, my dh and i carry a piece of paper in our wallets listing next of kin, contact numbers (including contact numbers of someone outside the family), pmhx, allergies, meds with sig. also includes distinguishing features and needs (...
  8. SBAR Reporting in Critical Care

    Below is my opinion..... take it or leave it. My facility uses it for ER to ICU/floor report. Meaning, they call and tell us the SBAR is on the way (fax or pneumatic tube). No phone verbal report. We hate it!! It never seems to provide the info w...
  9. Spoken of before

    No extra pay here, either.... even for CCRN and CNRN.
  10. cpr training for nursing students- HELP!

    If there were enough people close enough to me, I'd see what I could do about offering a CPR class. I'm an AHA instructor.
  11. Do you shower when you get off work???

    I'm a night shifter and all I want to do when I get home is go to bed!! I shower when I get up. I wash my hands regularly at work and, if needed, change scrubs
  12. New to night shift

    Ambien and Lunesta are my friends (and lifesavers!!). I've never been able to sleep well... even at night. My schedule for when I work 2 or more nights (12 hour shifts) in a row... I try to nap for a few hours before going to work on night 1. I come ...
  13. Cnrn

    I agree, the test is hard!! It made NCLEX and CCRN look like cakewalks! :sofahider :biere:
  14. Management of hyperthermia in neuro patients

    Can you provide the citiation from JCAHC as I'm unable to find anything about it on their site.
  15. Dental Assistants Pushing Propofol etc...

    This doctor is an MD as are the other doctors in the group. I have never heard of oral surgeons being anything other than MD.
