    Do you actually like your unit?

    Anisettes replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    1. Type of Unit/Dept - OR in receiving hospital for wounded military from downrange 2. Nurse to patient ratio - the OR is 1:1 per case with a line-up of successive cases 3. Why do you like it? - pay...

    How to be an ER nurse??

    Anisettes replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    ACLS and PALS for sure. TNCC wouldn't hurt

    Paid ED training?????

    Anisettes replied to rnhope's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's paid. When I went into the OR I actually had to sign a contract stating that I would complete 2 full years of employment in the OR following completion of my training or I would have to...

    If we had a conservative nurses forum

    Anisettes replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm neither and am frankly tired of the rhetoric on both sides. Whatever happened to dignified conversations? Journalism that stated 'just the facts'. The only opinion I care about is mine and don't...

    "Good for nothing student"

    Anisettes replied to Sarah010101's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there girl, it doesn't feel like it, but it will get easier (and hopefully better as well). It's hard being new and inexperienced when lives are on the line as opposed to cheeseburgers on the...

    can I do OR and floor nursing?

    Anisettes replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    You can certainly work as my jobs as you have the energy for, but you can't just 'take' an OR position without training. It's not an area you can just 'float' to, like from one ward to another. It's...

    Networked with Former Classmate, Got Per Diem Job, and Now She's Ignoring Me

    Anisettes replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should call and ask. Don't automatically assume she doesn't want to remain friends with you. She may have deleted you from her friends to avoid the appearance of later claims of...

    RNs Relocating to Las Vegas

    Anisettes replied to team_Rnurses's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I lived in Las Vegas for several years (moved there from NYC) and I agree with Kate above who wondered why you chose Vegas. Las Vegas isn't for everyone. I thought when I moved there, that it would...

    Nursing to the Deaf?

    You could also get certified (if required) and put yourself on the official in-house call roster for your hospital as an

    Nursing to the Deaf?

    Anisettes replied to K3ndraR's topic in General Nursing

    How about a school as an area with a high deaf population? Gallaudet University is a deaf college in DC - my nephew went there and that's a very high conc. Don't know about working there. I'm sure...

    Docs who are actually willing to get their hands dirty.

    Taking picture of patient?

    Anisettes replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    Very. It's a rare person these days that is able to look at the consequences of an act, take responsibility for it, and admit they made a mistake both privately and in a public forum where they are...

    What determines if a patient is autopsied?

    Anisettes replied to HealthShepherd's topic in General Nursing

    seriously, if you can't laugh (or poke fun) at the absurdity of daily life (and the even more absurdity of daily life in healthcare), you're headed either for a psych consult or a life of bitterness...

    What determines if a patient is autopsied?

    Anisettes replied to HealthShepherd's topic in General Nursing

    That gift catalog is crazy. I can see myself in their logo'd scrubs interviewing a patient in pre-op. That would go over so well... But I did kind of like the pencil sharpener disguised as a

    Great Doctors

    Anisettes replied to tainted1972's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Part of me wants to ask you this doc's name, because I wonder if it's the same doc I once worked with, but I'm sure there are rules against it. Anyway, ages ago when I was still on a med/surg ward,...

    Outraged by no more privacy

    Anisettes replied to inquiringaide's topic in General Nursing

    I may have missed if this was mentioned in the previous 4 pages of comments - but this is nothing new - I was fingerprinted in NYC when I took the old style NCLEX - 4 separate #2 pencil exams nearly...

    Just a little input

    Anisettes replied to Dalzac's topic in General Nursing

    I say if you want it and don't mind the lower pay, go for it. The worst that could happen is you not getting the job. Hope it works out for

    GS pay scale for government nursing jobs

    Anisettes replied to armyrn26's topic in Government, Military

    If you're relocating, I don't think it's wrong to ask what the salary is. I accepted an Army job overseas told that all the RN's were GS10 positions even though the listing said 35K-80K. With 20+...

    ER Personalities

    Anisettes replied to RN1298's topic in Emergency

    Kooky and traumaRU both give good advice. I would add though, that the personality I think does NOT fit well into the Trauma/ER environment is the aggressive one. There is a difference between being...

    Vaginal Exams

    Anisettes replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, Viva's right. Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed when posting that everybody knows what all the various acronyms stand for. Too much alphabet soup,

    Vaginal Exams

    Anisettes replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    Are you referring to vag exams with a speculum? I do them frequently because I'm also a SANE. But I imagine if you worked L&D (I never have, so just my thought) that you'd be doing lady partsl...

    Thanks for sharing your story. I've been there. It's a haunting, humbling thing to be part of. One precious life goes out giving a last gift to others as it passes. Even in the darkest hour, there...
