  1. Pregnant and terrified NICU nurse here...

    gauge14iv replied to Gompers's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Heh - had to laugh - If your MIL and you BOTH work there - chances are, there's nothing left to tell! LOL

  2. Pregnant and terrified NICU nurse here...

    gauge14iv replied to Gompers's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You might look up treatment guidelines for gestational diabetes since it would have info about those drugs. The issue with Glucophage (and just about every other category C drug) is not that there is...

  3. Why don't nurses join the ANA?

    gauge14iv replied to gauge14iv's topic in General Nursing

    Im talking ALL nurses - LPN/LVN, ADN/RN, BS/RN, MS, whatever it is you are as long as it includes nurse in some legal

  4. Why don't nurses join the ANA?

    gauge14iv replied to gauge14iv's topic in General Nursing

    Its a couple hundred - 400 or so? for the ANA and TNA here in Texas too. Ludicrous really. Do the math - even if it was $200 a year... 100,000 x $200 = 20,000,000 per year in membership fees 1,000,000...

  5. What are FNP's in Family practice and Internal Med using for electronic med records?

    gauge14iv posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Recommendations? Experience with certain companies? Expense over and above what was quoted? Likes? Dislikes? Implementation problems? Has it helped your Documentation, practice and followup? Has...

  6. What are FNP's in Family practice and Internal Med using for electronic med records?

    gauge14iv replied to gauge14iv's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    When you enter an encounter, is the encounter not available

  7. Relocating to Texas

    gauge14iv replied to nursebear168's topic in Texas Nursing

    And I would request the same consideration - you will note that I did not say that you believed that or that you were an idiot. Please don't take what I post personally - I am not posting these things...

  8. Relocating to Texas

    gauge14iv replied to nursebear168's topic in Texas Nursing

    As frustrating as it is - no BON is going to inform you of the outcome of any investigation. In fact they won't even tell you they are investigating. Or not. It's like reporting child abuse to CPS -...

  9. Relocating to Texas

    gauge14iv replied to nursebear168's topic in Texas Nursing

    All she needs to do is send a letter disputing the info to group one under the FCRA - they have to investigate - I would enclose whatever evidence she has in writing with the letter. If she invoked...

  10. Relocating to Texas

    gauge14iv replied to nursebear168's topic in Texas Nursing

    I understand. I suppose what I should have said is please don't go straight to the worst war story you have at someones first mention of their interest in moving to Texas. It's sort of like the people...

  11. Why don't nurses join the ANA?

    gauge14iv replied to gauge14iv's topic in General Nursing

    Add lobbying for the promotion of preventative health to that

  12. Relocating to Texas

    gauge14iv replied to nursebear168's topic in Texas Nursing

    Again - that was your experience. That was never my experience. Nor has it been the experience of many others. Please don't generalize your personal experience to be everyone's experience. It can be...

  13. Why don't nurses join the ANA?

    gauge14iv replied to gauge14iv's topic in General Nursing

    See....there needs to be a national organization of ALL nurses at ALL levels and it needs to be CHEAP - like 20 to 40.00 a year max to be a member. Heck - it wouldn't even matter if you had a special...

  14. El Centro students Spring '06

    gauge14iv replied to AllyRN82's topic in Texas Nursing

    When I was finishing up my BS I needed one class at BHC. I applied for admission but their computer had some sort of a glitch and kept spitting my application back - only it wasnt telling anyone. When...

    gauge14iv replied to msk77's topic in Texas Nursing

    I see. I wasnt sure how competitive the LVN admissions process was. It seems there used to be more LVN programs than there are now, or maybe they have closed some of the hospital based programs and...

  16. What To Do!!!!

    gauge14iv replied to NICU-RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Fax your resume and a cover letter directly to the unit managers - dont wait for HR to send it to them or for them to pull it up. In addition - keep in mind that most of the units will have just...

    gauge14iv replied to msk77's topic in Texas Nursing

    Why would you pay 20k to attend a private LVN program as opposed to a couple of grand to attend an LVN program at one of the junior colleges out of

  18. should I feel insulted?

    gauge14iv replied to bahamabread's topic in Texas Nursing

    I had been a nurse for 12 years - yet I did an internship when I switched over to neonatal ICU. I am so glad I did it that way too!! It was great, I learned a lot, and what I thought I knew would not...

  19. should I feel insulted?

    gauge14iv replied to bahamabread's topic in Texas Nursing

    You know - I look at this way - even though I have always worked in the US, when I go to a new facility or a new job, for at least 3 mos, I am cookin in somebody elses kitchen. I don't know where the...

  21. Raising Their Wages......

    gauge14iv replied to mark hamel's topic in Texas Nursing

    Look - I am not trying to be difficult here - it has been pointed out repeatedly that the climate is not pro-union here in Texas in rather blunt fashion when explaining it in nicer terms was not...

    gauge14iv replied to mark hamel's topic in Texas Nursing

  25. Raising Their Wages......

    gauge14iv replied to mark hamel's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes but these unions are located in areas of the country where pay scales (and costs of living) are higher ACROSS THE BOARD! It has nothing or little to do with any union! Please - If you like your...
