Nurseterr7 ASN, RN

I've been waiting for months to take this refresher course at MDCC in Miami. Signed up, paid for the class and showed up today ready to go. Well was I ever disappointed that the class was cancelled. Only 5 people registered and only 3 people showed u...

This is a very complex Question. personally I would like to know what some things cost to begin with. For example what is a reasonable cost for a visit to your Primary MD -vs- a specialist , cost for basic labs, x-ray, ct scans. It is difficult to ...

I am considering an independent distributorship of a product that I find helpful . Do you think it is unwise of me to use my RN status behind my name when having the cards made. I am not making any claims of curative properties attached to this produ...

Thanks PMFB and Eric, Yes I am an RN . But I will contact the BON just to make sure there is no conflict. I'll post again if they say No but I see lots of business cards with LMT and Physical Therapist who are in the same distributorship that I wan...

Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate. I hope you can take a few minutes to sit and breath, maybe have nice warm shower put on your comfy jammies and get a good night sleep. I hope you feel better tomorrow. I'm not offering advice ,I just wanted...

I live in south Florida and it is WAY useful to know Spanish. I am not fluent myself but know enough to get by. They even offer a class at the college here called Spanish for health care professionals. One of the hospitals here has phones that connec...

CritterLover, I agree with you 100%. Thank you.

The orthotebb shoe reminds me of the earth shoe that was popular in the 70's where the heel is lower than the toes. Anybody remember the earth shoe? I had a pair and I loved them but that was when I was in my 20's and could dance all night in 3 inch ...

This is just my opinion but I wish hospital staff would wear BIG badges or name tags or pins or what ever identifying them selves as RN's LPN's, House keeping, whatever. I work at places where people come into the pt.'s room and have their hanging ba...

Annie, I would ask what they have in mind before giving them a rate. Is there travel involved? Find out all you can about the position before you talk numbers. Good Luck.

Well here I am at the computer. Looking for direction. I want a new Job.... Would love to just talk to nurse career adviser (if there is such a person) to see if that would help me get a better understanding as to what do to. Not a recruiter becaus...

What amount of Skills updating or refresher courses do you think an RN who wants to return to Med -Surg floor practice needs? How many hours of refreshing do you think the employers will require? There is a Skills refresher at the college in my town ...

You said in your thread that the person has Medicaid ( not Medicare )and private insurance. Maybe I am wrong but usually people with Medicaid are not in a position to have any other kind of insurance. If he has Medicare and private insurance then you...

I have also heard of Pro-biotic use in cases of c-diff. . I had a pt. with c-diff and the GI Doc ordered Saccharomyces Boulardii along with some other types of Lactobacillus. (Eat your yogurt) Anyhow, I also read the article in the GI magazine he had...

Thank you so much for these resources. I need all the help I can get. I'm like the trapeze artist .... I've got only my little finger hanging on to the trapeze I am used to and will soon be in mid-air looking to pick that next trapeze with both hands...

I'm in the same boat . I have been in home care for a long time and now what to get my hospital skills back. I've been looking for RN med/surg refresher class but I've had trouble finding one. Seems the hospitals in my area don't offer that . The co...

I have also been looking for a job . I am an RN who has been working Home health and private duty for the last 10 years and wants to go back to the clinical setting. The nurse recruiter for the hospital in my area told me I would need a med -surg RN ...

Thanks for the quick reply. I am new to allnurses but have spent a lot of time lately looking at the forums, esp. because at this point I am only working 1 /12 hour shift a week.+ some visits on the side. I have been working Private duty and home hea...

How to calculate "real" earnings.? Good question.. The thing is if you travel then you have to take that into consideration. Travel time, gas, Parking fees , ect. I do visits for a company that pays me 31.00 a visit. Flat fee . I pay my own taxes. I ...

Thanks soooooooo much for the encouragement. I'm sure to remember more than I give myself credit for but just one &*^% up and , well you know. If I had a refresher then I would be able to have a reference point at which to gauge myself. What I ...

What state do you live in? Is it even possible for an RN independently to bill for services rendered from an insurance company coding system? I interviewed for a job once that was with someone who had an insurance policy that paid for RN services and...
