Hi! I am about to enter the world of travel nursing (hope to arrive in CA). Any ideas about car rental or shipping a car from the east coast to CA? Any other general advice is always welcome.

A suggestion that has worked for me is to write down all of your issues/facts in a professional, clear matter with specific items to back you up. Writing it down can leave you presenting basic facts and not just have pple think you are reacting on em...

If the cardiologist wouldn't order why couldn't he call the attending if he wanted something done so badly. Collaborative Care! When I worked on the floor I would keep an eye out for the labs and let the MD know just because they may not recall as t...

A suggestion that has come in handy is to take a breath, and write down the the facts of what occurred (not just this incident but any others that may have been connected to this dismissal) and your perspective. That way, when you do meet with someo...

that line (or the tone used to deliver it?) annoyed me too..

I can respect if that's how you feel, but I know nurses who could definitely have gone to med school, but chose nursing since it is a different type of discipline.

Congratulations!! Enjoy this moment-it's great! FYI, I took the ccrpnet practice online exam; and the questions helped, although scoring is hard to tell if you want to know if you "passed". t.

Hello, I am just curious about this, as I may be moving to the area and want to know what to expect. I would really love responses as I kinda need to know this information soon! t. I should clarify that I have about 5years of experience. t.

it does, thanks! I would welcome any more responses, as I am kinda using this information as a benchmark to compare other opportunities. t.

thanks for the reply! how about boston children's?

Hello! I bought the Core Curriculum book (and there is also a class that's being offered somewhere). How did you guys review from the book? Just start at the beginning and read? Thanks, T.

Well, I would think you would have a pretty good shot at nursing assistant, that's what I did during nursing school; as for something more and beyond that, it doesn't hurt to ask their human resources..t

I would check out St. Barnabas depending on the commute.

"My coworkers and I agree, though - the day we come to work and are placed in front of an aquarium with a floating baby is the day we leave the NICU! FREAKY!!! But you know it'll happen within the next century." I joke with my coworkers about this al...

Well, they just used the soft side, not the bristles side. I think using the spongy part is okay, but I was wondering if the soap was too harsh (which it probably is, since we use it to scrub in).t.

So where I used to work some people used the scrub brushes for the full-term babies first bath, especially if they were very "gunky". What do you think? t.

Forgive me if this takes too much away from the topic, but how much would be reasonable for a clinical research coordinator in a hospital? Thanks.

Any neonatal CNS out there? Can you tell me what you do daily. I like NICU nursing and would like to go for graduate school but not nurse practitioner (not interested in the increased liability, and the role in general) and am more interested in rese...

I know exactly which moment you are discussing, and it got me a little annoyed too. She acted like she was just called a bad word. In fact, all those little side comments is why I stopped watching the show. I know some people say it doesn't matter, ...

Hello everyone, Well my job is finally giving incentives for certifications, so I went to the NCC website and had some questions for you all. After I mail in registration and receive confirmation, I have 90 days to take the online exam? And, how di...

I guess first, realize that sometimes there is nothing you can do, and people come in with issues that sometimes have little to do with us. The second thing is to really emphasize when parents come in why we do these things (i.e. more visitors mean m...

maybe the working conditions are so bad the pay doesn't matter..

That's what I meant, wow, that seems pretty nice, considering it's average..t.

does the average nurse really make 90,000 a year?

Anyone watch ER thursday night? Luka and Abby's son was born prematurely and in the NICU. I liked it for the most part, except when the nurse blew off Abby's bipolar mother about the baby getting sicker and OF COURSE the baby ended up being really si...
