   kc2004 replied to kc2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Hello Everyone, Just an update for you. We had a mandatory unit meeting with the "executive staff" today and they have decided to close our unit effective July 1st. No attempt to recruit Dr's, no NICU as promised, just closing. I think if they had tr...

2. re: something to consider...

   kc2004 replied to Granted Fal's topic in Psychiatric

   I agree with you. It seems like people with emotional problems who themselves have been helped through tough times in a psych unit, want to work there to help someone like themselves. I think it's the same for alot of different nursing specialties. F...

5. Needed... Public Relations Ideas for failing LDRP

   kc2004 replied to kc2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

   It's the same at our hospital but we are losing patients due to the fact that the Docs would rather deliver thier patients at a hospital with an NICU than split up a mom and baby if the baby needs to be transported.

6. Why are doctors so rude?

   kc2004 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Relations

   I know what you mean, most of our Docs are nice most of the time, but there is this one Doc who is a COMPLETE JACK@SS each and everytime he comes to the unit. Maybe he just doesn't like our hospital or something but that's no reason to be rude and co...

8. Needed... Public Relations Ideas for failing LDRP

   kc2004 replied to kc2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Are there several hospitals near yours or is it in a rural area? I ask this because our hospital is one of about 5 or 6 medium sized hospitals within a 50 mile radius. The Docs have privileges at usually 3 or more of these hospitals and so choose to...

    When my sister's daughter was a newborn, my sister was clipping the baby's nails. She got a little to close to the skin and it started bleeding. She called me (long distance) to ask if I thought she should take her to the ER. :chuckle I said " JANE...

    kc2004 replied to Snoopyangel's topic in Pre-Nursing

    See what happens with IYV Tech first, but there are a lot of good schools in NWIndiana for nursing. Have you looked into Valpo U? They have a great program but can be more expensive than IVY Tech.

13. Starting my own business..

    kc2004 replied to phoenix24rn's topic in Entrepreneurs

    i think giving inservices at elemantary schools would be great too. So many children get sick from other kids at school. Really all they need is to be educated on handwashing and not sharing personal items. We would see fewer sick kids and use fewer...

    kc2004 replied to missionnurse's topic in Emergency

    we just got a memo from administration about MRSA VS Spider bites. apparently ER was misdiagnosing MRSA abcesses as spider bites. Now every abcess is cultured for MRSA.
