    Haunted replied to DaFreak71's topic in General Nursing

    My folks went to a lot of time, trouble and expense to exact living wills, power of attorney and DNR orders which were VERY specific. They designated my sister as POA and on both orders stated "if we...

  8. Med/Surg 6:1? Thought the ratio was 5:1

    Haunted replied to Michellex1013's topic in California Nursing

    I have worked at many facilities that smugly state they are respecting the ratio law, then they give you 6 very high acuity patients and tell you that you are the primary nurse. Happens all the time....

    Haunted replied to nurse0541's topic in General Nursing

  12. Kaiser jobs and southern california

    Haunted replied to peaceful's topic in Nursing Career

    Kaiser is very "quirky" when it comes to getting your foot in the door. It helps to know someone who has a good reputation there for a reference. If you are serious about working at this facility (...

  14. Tustin/Irvine -Orange County - any advice??

    Haunted replied to angiebaby2's topic in California Nursing

    Sure. Try any of the Bristol Park Clinics as well as Sunrise. Do a local Google search of the area and you will want to stick with the more "big name" such as Bristol Park. The pay is not great but it...

  15. Tustin/Irvine -Orange County - any advice??

    Haunted replied to angiebaby2's topic in California Nursing

    Irvine Medical Center is a relatively slow paced facility. They usually staff for 12 hour shifts and prefer that you have some experience. Also new grads may have a wait to get into the chosen units....

  17. Orange county hospitals?

    Haunted replied to Cookies234's topic in California Nursing

  20. Hospital in the LA/Orange County area

    Haunted replied to jenmac30's topic in Travel
