  1. Montana...Anyone?

    I took a travel assignment in MT. I loved it. I extended 3x then bought a house and moved. It is beautiful here.
  2. Moving from tiny ER to a Level II

    Take comfort in your experience but don't dwell on it. By dwell on it I mean constantly say, "back at xx ER I used to..." Be eager to learn the flow of your new ER and the policies and procedures that may differ from where you just were. Relax, th...
  3. Silliest thing you ever did after a long shift...

    I had one of those mornings that you have to stay awake for a few hours before an appt. I had just bought fabric for a new quilt and thought, "how hard can it be to cut rectangles?" Well, I cut everything nice and straight, but the next day realize...
  4. What do you do to make extra money?

    I've got a network marketing business. I help others get healthy while making extra money! It's great because even when I'm not working with that business I still make money on stuff I've done in the past.
  5. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    had someone come in by ambulance for verbal assault!!
  6. ER Nurses Week-What's everyone doing?

    We had a "celebration"... It was mandatory. It was a 5 hour long meeting about what we need to do better in our ED. Not really a celebration. (But they did say "happy ER nurses week")
  7. Core Medical??????

    I worked with them and never had any problems. Always paid on time and followed through with commitments. I think in the end it all comes down to your recruiter, regardless of the company.

  9. National Slap Your Co-worker Day, a joke

  10. Real tips for patients

    since my water broke right after I climbed into bed and then my labor was so long, I was going on 45 hours of being awake by the time I finally could go to bed. We posted a note in the ER giving all the birth updates then requesting no visitors for ...
  11. Real tips for patients

    UPDATE: Thanks for all your kind words of wisdom. I was able to focus on laboring then on my baby rather than worrying about trying to be a "good" pt. My labor was long... water broke at home, then I had 12 hours of walking to get the contraction...
  12. Billing's NICUs

    I work in the ER, not NICU, but I'd be happy to answer some general questions. PM me if you want. I live on the "west end" and am in a nice new development; love my neighbors. I am 20 min from the hospitals (although I did it in 12 last week when ...
  13. St Elias in Anchorage

    I was wondering the same thing. I received a recruiting postcard from them, but it didn't say much about the facility.
  14. Real tips for patients

    Thank you for all your kind and helpful replies. I am more at ease now. I will take your advice and be myself and care for the baby. Sounds like the hardest tip to implement will be the one that said don't try to be a "good" patient, for those are...

    The Morrison's (the MN couple) gave a local TV News station exclusive coverage. On wcco.com I can't tell if they will release new information. the last line of the story about the 3rd baby dying said, "Hospital officials say no further information ...
