  1. We are looking for home health nursing software

    Our agency uses Cerner RoadNotes and it is terrible! The opposite of user friendly/intuitive. Crashes frequently, etc. Bad, bad juju.
  2. Dear Lord: Please give me patience....

    I have learned to not ask Him for patience or He will give me a means and a reason to learn it.
  3. The Money is my motivation

    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 their gifts and interests are elsewhere. He/she ...
  4. Cannot find a job here in Washington!

    Go2WorkSource.com - Search Jobs, Post Rs, Career Resources This covers all of WA (but of course not all jobs are listed here) but many are since it is a free site. Best wishes!
  5. Necrotizing Fasciitis from a PAPER CUT

    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 (flesh eating bacteria). Yikes! (She had a fascioto...
  6. The Money is my motivation

    Well, in the beginning I too, worked for my paycheck. I was not only bored with certain jobs but HATED them and cried most days, despite the fact I was still learning and had the challenges I craved at work. You just might have to do your time and ...
  7. What kind of nurse are you?

    Home Health nurse for the last 2 years. Intermittent visits. I LOVE it, but it's not for everybody. This was after 5 years of nursing jobs I did not love. I went into Nursing because I took a college job compatibility quiz that listed nursing as o...
  8. working prn for two different agencies...

    My agency does not allow this.
  9. How long can till the blood is bad?

    I would call the lab and find out. But our lab requires us to deliver them within 4 hours so they can be centrifuged if needed. Otherwise, the specimens themselves are always kept at our lab for 7 days before discarded in case the doc wants to add ...
  10. What do you wear?

    Scrub-a-dub-dubs here. There's not really too much of a dress code (no jeans no shorts, no tanks), but I am lazy about fashion and scrubs are easy.
  11. Blood draws and home health

    First let me assure you I was kind of (unnecessarily) terrified of phlebotomy. I had never attempted a phlebotomy until I was in HH. I knew the principles, had IV training (but no real experience), and I was terrified. I avoided it for a long time,...
  12. LPN to RN wage in current LPN position

    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 the nature of my education and general working resp...
  13. pay per visit?

    Well, I know my company certainly hires travel positions for everything else... except nursing for some reason. Not to say the jobs aren't out there, just don't tend to need travel nurses in my agency. Not sure why.
  14. Hospital/SNF and hyperglycemia

    Ok, this is something I have wondered about for a loooong time. Keep in mind I DO understand that cases of illness/surgery related hyperglycemia are transiently related to the physiological stresses of said conditions. But, I suspect that some of t...
  15. How can canadian RN apply in washington state

    Here ya go! http://www.doh.wa.gov/hsqa/Professions/Nursing/documents/RN_byEnd.pdf page 5 will give you the specifics for international licensure.
