  1. screaming doctors....how can we handle them?

    Bumashes replied to KSU-SN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm unprofessional after a minute of that stuff. I'll usually either hang up, walk away, or give them an odd look and ask why they feel the need to yell b/c didn't their mommy teach them to use their...

  2. Anyone ever worked for Rx Crossroads as a contract RN?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and I just realized that in order to PM anyone, you have to have posted a minimum of 15

  3. Anyone ever worked for Rx Crossroads as a contract RN?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome. I'm glad. As for private messages, if you look on any of the post replies you should see little pictures out by each responder's name. One of those pics is of a paper with a pencil...

  5. Anyone ever worked for Rx Crossroads as a contract RN?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    I won't have too much to tell you I'm afraid, but I'll try. It's a contract position, so you're self-employed and do your own taxes. They called me maybe 3-4 days after I applied. Tomorrow is the...

  6. Anyone ever worked for Rx Crossroads as a contract RN?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, sorry it's been so long. I already have NSO liability insurance for $6,000,000 (they require $5,000,000.) So I just went with what I had. They do ask for proof of your insurance, though. Mine...

  7. *Sigh* another vent. My poor pt died. Long...

    Bumashes posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am blessed by the fact that about 90% of the drs I work around in my hospital are very open to a nurse's ideas and assessments. However, sometimes it just doesn't happen. So here's one for all you...

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. Very informative. Thanks for all the info. And to someone who was wondering if the bleed was due to blood thinning, it wasn't. However, we were giving her Vit K anyway. I believe next time I...

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for the support guys. I just really had to get it off my mind and over to others who can relate. And you can be darn sure that my charting was even more in depth and thorough, complete with...

  10. Learning Thread: Med/Surg

    Bumashes replied to RN28MD's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Here's one for everybody. This is really embarassing for me, too... I swear to God Almighty no one ever taught me this, and I learned it today b/c I screwed it up. Setting: Your pt has an NG tube...

  11. Found a free site that teaches ICU concepts

    Bumashes posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey everybody, I was playing around on the internet and came across a site that has some free slide shows with lectures about various diseases/conditions and their tx in the ICU. Thought I'd share....

  12. CNS Scope of Practice in Mississippi

    Bumashes posted a topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Hey everybody, I just made up my mind today on what I want to pursue after my RN-BSN is finished. Either acute care CNS or Adult Health CNS. At any rate, I was trying to read up on the BON site about...

  13. CNS Scope of Practice in Mississippi

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Thanks for the encouragement. I didn't know it was only a "vision" for now. So maybe there will be some hope for me after

  14. CNS Scope of Practice in Mississippi

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I have considered it. I guess I'm kind of put off by the fact that they're going to be PhD required by the time I get to the MSN part of my schooling. I already forgot what year it's gotta be by. I...

  15. CNS Scope of Practice in Mississippi

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I know, it's difficult. I thought maybe that they were referring to CNS when they said APN, but that's just conjecture. I don't want to get this advanced degree and then find out it's one of "those"...

  16. Adventures in the McDonald's drive-through...

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I stopped by the same McDonald's this am before work. The manager recognized me right off and told me the girl was sent home from the hospital yesterday. She was unsure of the dx, just knew that it...

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, I wasn't late for work. Actually, I had left the house earlier than I had intended to. And as for considering writing as a possibility...maybe. I read A LOT. All the time I'm not working...

  18. MGCCC

    Bumashes replied to webstar's topic in General Nursing

    Nutrition and sociology can be taken online. But the others have to have a lab done on campus. You can do the book part online and do the lab on campus by taking a hybrid

  19. Want the real scoop on new grad pay in Mississippi?

    Bumashes replied to manna's topic in General Nursing

    The pay is also better here on the gulf coast. New grads generally start out at around $19-$21/hr depending on your hospital. Also, they will take into consideration any years exp as an LPN and give...

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of the things I have gained from being a nurse that I will always value is the ability to remain calm...no matter what. I've had non-healthcare emergencies, freakouts, accidents that I have been...

  21. Anyone ever worked for Rx Crossroads as a contract RN?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

  22. Anyone ever worked for Rx Crossroads as a contract RN?

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    My brother-in-law is an accountant and handles our taxes, so he'll be the one stuck doing this, too. LOL! And I already have malpractice insurance with NSO ever since I graduated NS. So I feel I'm...

  23. Question: Give blood AND heparin?

    Bumashes replied to TangoLima's topic in MICU, SICU

    Yeah, she was just mad she didn't come up with that. Sometimes it takes a fresh pair of eyes to find possible problems. I'd have definitely wondered about that, too. Granted, I work med-surg, but...

    Bumashes replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    I will. They have positions in other states, too. They're posted somewhere on their site. Just google Rx Crossroads. If this turns out to be worth it, then I'll let you know to check it
