  3. HELP! Nosy pt family member driving me crazy

    Fiesta Red replied to RN4ustat's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    That's an interesting tactic -- I'll have to try that one. Something that works for me is silence. After I've told someone once or twice quite nicely that I can't discuss the information, the next...

  6. Getting Divorced During Nursing School

    Fiesta Red replied to NBMom1225's topic in General Nursing

  7. "No Diversion" policy

    Fiesta Red posted a topic in Emergency

    Our local EMS governing agency has decided that hospitals within their jurisdiction will not be allowed to go on diversion. This starts in about a month. Anyone else work in a ER that cannot go on...

  8. "No Diversion" policy

    Fiesta Red replied to Fiesta Red's topic in Emergency

    We are in California, so we are supposed to be at 4 to 1. This will be an issue obviously. The other interesting fact is that there is a hospital about 10 miles down the road from us that is in a...

    Fiesta Red replied to Fiesta Red's topic in Emergency

    It helps if I spell the word "diversion"

  10. Rant

    Fiesta Red replied to TXTraumaRN's topic in Emergency

    We had a director that was micro-managing from home like that. All the charge RNs got together and threatened to quit doing charge duties if he kept it up. And we went above his head to his boss as...

    Fiesta Red replied to LadyNASDAQ's topic in California Nursing

    I have worked at both Kaiser Roseville and Sutter Roseville. Kaiser pays better and has more comprehensive benefits. Both hospitals are unionized, but California Nurses Association (CNA) is stronger...

  14. EL MSN in CA?

    Fiesta Red replied to pmgamber's topic in California Nursing

    Samuel Merritt has one in Oakland, and I believe CSU Sacramento just started one.

  15. Kaiser versus the 'Others'

    Fiesta Red posted a topic in California Nursing

    Are there any Kaiser RNs out there (current or former) who either really like it or really hate it? What are they like as an employer? What is the care like there? I have heard horror stories, and...

  16. Kaiser versus the 'Others'

    Fiesta Red replied to Fiesta Red's topic in California Nursing

    There have been some excellent replies thus far. Thank you so much. I would like to hear your experiences as a patient of Kaiser. Are you happy with your medical care, your doctor, your access to...

  17. Changing from ER to CSICU

    Fiesta Red posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Hello, I have 5 years as an ER RN/BSN. I might be looking for change of pace -- one of the local hospitals has an opening for a CSICU RN. It is a nationally hailed Cardiac program (at least that is...

  21. The Top 100 Hospitals- Really??????

    Fiesta Red replied to Fiesta Red's topic in General Nursing

    Correct. My understanding is that you have to pay the agency to have your data included in the study. If you opt out, then they don't look at data pertaining to results from your

    Fiesta Red replied to deftonez188's topic in Men in Nursing

  25. Just Because You're Interested......

    Fiesta Red replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in Nursing Career

    Turn off the TV. It is nothing like the imaginary, scripted (yes, even the reality shows are scripted), drama crap. These shows are for entertainment purposes, not education or research. I doubt...
