    If you don't mind me asking, what unit are you working on? ... was actually looking into a travel position there after my current assignment ends when I took one in

  2. Travel nursing fears

    icunurse42066 replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in Travel

    I agree with cooblu. Your recruiters actions speak much louder than their words. I have been traveling for 2 years now, and I still talk to other travelers on my assignments. You can never have too...

    I start 12/3/07 in the Neuro/Trauma ICU. Going with Intelistaf. Maybe not a good idea, but I've already done 2 contracts with them and so far no major

  7. KY nurses and students STAND UP. What part of KY are you from.

    icunurse42066 replied to dark10gable's topic in General Nursing

    Well, the Western part of the state needs to be represented here. I'm and RN in the ICU from Graves Co. Currently on a travel assignment in Paducah, I know 'not that much of a travel' but I get the...

  8. Lets do this differently for a change.

    icunurse42066 replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    I have not been a "new nurse" for quite a while now, but when I went from med-surg to ICU 3 years ago, it was a whole different ballgame. I had been floated to the ICU on several occasions as a...

  9. Am I reading this right...?

    icunurse42066 replied to xptp29a's topic in General Nursing

    I know that I work 12 hour shifts by my choice and I'm not saying that my NON-work time is more important than anyone else's, all I was trying to say was that until we can read the entire contract and...

  10. Am I reading this right...?

    icunurse42066 replied to xptp29a's topic in General Nursing

    I really do not believe that the question posed by the OP can be answered by anyone here unless the entire contract is posted to be read. We do not know for sure if they were talking about F/T...

  11. ICU: Nurses Wash Patients + Make Beds?

    icunurse42066 replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

    Generally speaking, MOST ICU nurses are good about helping each other, however there are a few that aren't. IMHO if you don't help each other out, the patients are put in a more precarious situation....

  13. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    icunurse42066 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This discussion brings back an old saying that my CNA instructor told us several years ago "It's not my fault it took you 4 years to learn what it took me 2!!!":lol2: I am currently an ADN, but my...

  14. Injured Football Player

    icunurse42066 replied to sanctuary's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very tragic situation to say the least! My youngest son just started playing football, and my oldest wants to start playing again next year (he will be a junior in high school). The first...

  15. Please share something GOOD that happened at work!

    icunurse42066 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    I had a pt about 7-8 years ago that had a GSW to the head. Everyone had given up on him. I would talk to him while doing his care, and had his wife and parents help me with him (he was 25). To make a...

  19. How long for Illinois license?

    icunurse42066 replied to ERRNTraveler's topic in Travel

    I don't know where you are, but my advice on getting your fingerprints done is to find a place in IL that does the livescan. I received my license from IL in 3 weeks, would have been about 2 if I had...

  20. I Would Like Your Opinion.... am I right?

    icunurse42066 replied to walk6miles's topic in MICU, SICU

    hey walk6miles, I guess it's going to take one of "the village idiot's" pts dying before anything gets done. It's sad to say, but I think that's how how a lot, not all, of directors feel, "as long as...

  22. What do you never leave home without?

    icunurse42066 replied to RNCRNA2BE's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    i agree with walk6miles. I, by no means, have the same amount of experience (2 years compared to 15), but it is, in my opinion, one of, if not the most, challenging specialities out there! at the same...
