    So what is it like being an oncology nurse?

    Ted replied to Chibi Baka's topic in Oncology

    I worked on a heme/onc/bmt floor for 7+ years. This position was my first position in my career as a nurse. Although I don't work there full-time (work in an ICU/CCU for a small, rural hospital), I...

    Moving to Boston

    Ted replied to telenurse04's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Can't say much about the hospitals or Doc's in Boston. I lived in Boston decades ago, long before I became a nurse. But I absolutely LOVED Boston. Graduated from Berklee College of Music which is...

    Ted replied to Riceburner's topic in California Nursing

    attention Rural male nurses

    Ted replied to wannaknow's topic in Rural

    I very rarely get any comments about being a nurse with the XY chromosomal make up. Nor do I get asked if I'm their doctor. I think this is because every time there's a new patient in the unit, I...

    LTAC'S without ER's that do acute care as well?

    Ted replied to mattsmom81's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    All I can say is, "WOW" and "YIKES"!! I work nights at my teeny-tiny rural hospital and we have one "in-house" E.R. doc. (And only "on-call" respiratory therapists on nights.) There are times when I...

    CUNY School - BMCC

    Ted replied to nycNurse2b's topic in New York Nursing

    No need for apologies. We've had problems with instructor's names being mentioned in the past. Just trying to prevent repeating them. No harm done, though! :) By the way, congrats on the new RN!...

    Any Berkshire nurses?

    Ted replied to Steph in Boston's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    What a small world! Hi Missy! Also work at Fairview; in the ICU/CCU. It's either the second smallest or THE smallest hospital in MA. I like working here too. But it's going through some...

    Pay in MA?

    Ted replied to telenurse04's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I live in New York, and commute to MA. It's equal distant to where I work in MA and Albany, NY. I make about 3 to 4 dollars per hour more than most hospitals in the Albany area for a person with my...

    Ted replied to obeyacts2's topic in Cardiac

    Well, if it's not a medical term, it should be! Honestly, though. . . thinking in terms of the absurdly silly helps me remember stuff like this. Cheers! :)

    student with a question-

    Ted replied to obeyacts2's topic in Cardiac

    The heart muscle may not be able to respond. For example, let's take cardiac tampenode (sp??). In cardiac tampenod, there's fluid in between the outer layer of the heart, the cardiac sac (or some...

    student with a question-

    Ted replied to obeyacts2's topic in Cardiac

    During PEA, the heart's electrical system can very well be functioning properly. Something else is keeping the heart from beating! Could be cardiac tampenode (sp?) where fluid within the cardiac sack...

    I'd like insights from RNs who started as ADNs and later obtained a BSN.

    Ted replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Personally - Yes. I appreciated being away from the work environment and being amongst other nurses from differing specialties. It gave me opportunities to hear how other nurses, other institutions...

    Salaries??

    Ted replied to pumpkin's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Actually. . . At $45.00/hour, I get $93,000/year if one works 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week, 52 week per year! $93,000/year! Sweet! But I bet the cost of living eats into a lot of the money!...
