Hey Guys-- Here is my :twocents:. I COMPLETELY agree with everyone who says that "If you aren't a nurse, PLEASE don't call yourself a nurse." I worked long and hard for my degree, and it burns me up :flmngmd: when I go to my MD's office and- even H...

quote=jojotoo;2602424]The first time a doc gets out of line with me, I do try to handle it one on one in a quiet, "professional" manner. After that, it's direct confrontation - all the way, baby! Usually this is what you have to do to get a behavior ...

I worked with a surgon that KNEW he was better than God, and actually yelled and screamed the REAL bad word in front of the staff, other MD's, and wide awake patients, until one night I was so fed up with him and his language that I flat told him to ...

I am a travel nurse, and at the hospital I was in up in DC, 90% of the staff was from another country. Most of them spoke in "their langauge", the only time thry spoke English was to speak to me,Anyway, I had been there about a week, (with NO floor ...

hey critterlover-- you hit the nail on the head!!!! i agree that i would not want to be the one to draw up the guidelines, either. but under the right circumstances, i would much rather see a dignified death for some of the patients that i take car...

Thanks--Sorry to be such a dumb-dumb. I am new at this travel stuff, and I thought that it was all the same thing. 's RN

I have never heard of being "cancelled" with an agency. I thought that, and have been told that, because I have a contract, they can't cancel me, and I can't cancel them. I was told by Onward that I can't leave and go home (I am 9 hours from home) ...

help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have had the worst experence with this angency!!!!!!! i have a family emergency, and my recuter is very unsympathic. she informed me that i have to pay for the housing-the entire 3 months, not just what is left. she informed ...

:lol2: i'll go one better--i was under "vitamin v" for a total knee replacement, and my ortho was a very good looking man. i was told that the entire o.r. (in which i worked, by the way) knew by the end of the surgery, just how good looking i thought...

to the nurse????? lol 's rn

Good morning one and all- I just finished reviewing the last few posts on this thread, to refresh this old brain . I did start traveling, by the way, and I am now at a facility that actually signs the narcs out of a double locked drawer. The only ...

Onward HealthCare is the agency I'm with. My recruter is great, she is there every step of the way. Watch out for agency's that take housing out of the "package pay". Housing should be free--mine is. It's on top of my hourly pay. Good luck and h...

Hey Guys-- I'm trying to go to Maryland, just outside Washington, DC. Can't wait to see the sights, never been there. Any suggestions? 's RN

Yes, I have reported one of my co-workers. This nurse did not give ANY of the patients meds ALL NIGHT. The patient was in for CP-R/O MI. When I came in the next shift, the last time the meds were taken out was when I took them out the day before. ...

To all Hospsis Nurses, I have the utmost respect for what you do. It is something that I could never do on a regular basis. It tears me up whan one of my patients on the floor - I work in ICU/CCU - passes away, so I know that there is NO WAY that I...

Hey jes2000-- I am traveling with Onward HealthCare agency, and so far I have been pleased. The good thing about Onward is that when they quote you a salary, the housing is ON TOP of the salary. A lot of the agency's that I spoke to - and I spoke to ...

At our hospital, LPNs and RNs wear Ceil blue scrubs, Nursing assistants wear Maroon, Lab wears another, ECT. Sometimes that works, too. 's RN

Unfortunatly, this is so very true. I am a RN, but when I was a nursing assistant, I made sure that everyone knew that I was a nursing assistant, not a nurse. But, as I have said many times in other threads, I, personally, COULD NOT do without a nurs...

I have a question. Has anyone heard of "craigslist.com"? I am trying to change jobs, and I want to travel. One of the recruters told me that I could go to this website and "share" an apartment with other travel nurses. Opinions? 's RN

Dear P_RN, I meant no disrespect, and I am truly sorry. I was simply asking a question in reply to a previous post. Again, I am sorry. Angel's RN

To busyrnandmom and Tazzi-- Remember this (this is something that a friend told me when my dad died-one month to the day from my nursing gradution, I might add) "God doesn't give you anything that He thinks that you can't handle." So know that you - ...
