   Our agency uses Cerner RoadNotes and it is terrible! The opposite of user friendly/intuitive. Crashes frequently, etc. Bad, bad

3. The Money is my motivation

   anticoagulationurse replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

   Emergency Nurse - I don't think your sentiment matches what the OP is trying to suggest and lacks the very sensitivity that you are insisting the OP have. Not all nursing is bedside nursing, and maybe...

   Scary! I have a patient who had a normal little paper cut. She worked in a medical records department. Two weeks later her arm was being eaten alive from the inside out by necrotizing fasciitis...

6. The Money is my motivation

   anticoagulationurse replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

11. Blood draws and home health

    anticoagulationurse replied to Sensoria17's topic in Home Health

12. LPN to RN wage in current LPN position

    anticoagulationurse replied to sallyjane's topic in LPN to RN

    Yes, but being an RN automatically imbibes more responsibility as per the nature of the licensure. I could work at Starbucks as a barista and would still expect more than a starting wage because of...
