I do not blame you one bit for looking. I quit soon after I sat down and figured up my pay for the week and was making $14 an hour. I went to a hospital and can make in 2- 12 hour shifts a week what...
Where I "worked" the CRNA always pushed the IV conscious sedation because they were available. Prior to my leaving I had an incident that made me uncomfortable regarding this same subject. Because the...
Just an update....I am no longer in surgical nursing. I am now in another specialty but wanted to let you know I did heed to the advice and got out of a bad situation. Thanks for all of your
The specialty unit I am going to be doing prn's for offers $30 hr during the week and several dollars more for the weekend/night shift. All of their weekends are staffed by prn's so I was going to ask...
:monkeydance: My husband and I have been talking about me doing the weekend option where I work 2 12's and get paid for 32. That would allow me to be home with our kids M-F and he could keep the kids...

I guess to a certain extent I am. The tech does not go in the OR and she does not give meds. She will be leaving to go back to school in a few weeks. At that point they may not even have a tech. Like...
I am looking but can not just quit or we would not be able to pay our bills. I can not just take any job out there because my children would not be picked up in time. The location of my home prevents...
So, do any of you think that keeping my name on my own charts and not being a part of it is enough to keep me from sinking if anything comes of it? Or do you think the entire dept will be in trouble?...
