So, I was offered a job this week. Everything looks ok, it is a one page offer. However, they will give me a base pay for two years then my pay is based on RVUs. If I go above the set RVUs, I split the bonus with my "supervising dr" evenly. Does this...

It is an ob/gyn specialty clinic with some primary care mixed in. The base for the first 2 years is 95,000. Starting in the third year, I will be paid $28 per RVU up to the 95,000 then everything over that will be split equally with the "supervisin...

I am also in OK and I am wanting to pursue my CNM. I have heard great things about ECU. I sent in my application packet to Frontier this week. So, I am hoping to hear back in the next two weeks. I went that route due to about half the midwives th...

Hello Everyone!! A bit of background, first. I work at a semi-rural facility and we do 90-120 deliveries a month. Probably half of those are by c-section, repeat and emergency. Okay, when I first started at this facility, a nursery nurse and the p...

Hello everyone....I work in a rural hospital with at 14 bed pediatric unit. I was wanting to know what your patient ratio was like. We are trying to defend the fact that we feel extremely unsafe with a 7:1 ratio. There may or may not be ancillary ...

Hello Everyone. I am a peds nurse on an Indian reservation. we have very few diabetic children...however, the ones that we do have are all type II. It is very rare for a native child to be type I. Anyway, the reason that I am posting is that I am...

This seems to be the weeks of firsts. I start in OB tomorrow. Hope you enjoy your new position. Looking forward to having you here more often!!

Thanks Irishbread. I work with only native american children and that is the only type of diabetes we see in this population.

We have a chronic lung child who is often in the hosp for 10 or more days at a time. The other night he was telling me we got a new baby in and he was lucky because he did not have "John the Baptist". I said excuse me, and he repeated it. I asked ...

Hello!! I am so jealous about you even thinking of moving to TN...esp Franklin. It is such a nice town. I moved from Nashville to AZ about two years ago due to working for the government to pay off my school loans. Anyway, I worked for Vanderbilt...

Hello Everyone!! I have accepted an new position in the OB department of our small rural hospital. My question is does anyone know of a good book/s that I could purchase to learn more about OB. I know I will get a great orientation from my best fri...

I will check those options out...thank you so much

I once checked in twins in the er.....Orangejello and Lemonjello....what was this mom thinking????

Hello there!!! I am currently working for IHS here in Whiteriver AZ....have a few friends that work at PIMC. I do not know how staffing and such is done there but I know that hours for the IHS are pretty standard. We work 7 twelve hour shifts a pay...

Hello everyone!! I am updating my resume and needing help with the wording for duties and skills. Does anyone have any ideas or web sites. Thank you everyone for your help in advance....Kelly

Thank you so much everyone for the great ideas!!!

I work in a rural hospital on the peds floor. I hear what you are saying about hospitalized children having different needs, Kailua. We are trying to get our DON to hear that because right now, we can have a 7:1 with possible aide for 14 patients. ...

Yes we do have a diabetes ed and I work closely with her. The stuff on the net is not exactly what I am looking for. I am wanting more kid friendly stuff. I had a great friend that worked with me at Vanderbilt that had worked at Chinle. He made ...

I actually saw a 3 yo that was approximately 125 lbs about a year ago. We got called down to the ER due to the fact that we were the peds staff here at our rural hospital. When I walked into the beginnings of the code of this baby, I thought he mus...

I did not take a review course...took the NCLEX while taking Percocet for an ORIF of my right ankle that had been done two weeks prior...passed the first time. I would take the money and have a great time on something fun!!!

I posted earlier about the fact that I was researching the Lap Band. Well, I had it done last Wednesday. I have not told any of my family because they think I am crazy. But, it is a choice I had to make for myself. I wish you the best of luck in ...

Pasted the first time while taking percocet for an ORIF of my right ankle that occurred two weeks after graduation and two weeks before NCLEX. I cannot remember how many questions but I remember that it shut off after a question on NSAIDs. I knew t...

Flowerchild: I was not referring to your post. I had posted earlier on this BB and I was referring to the nurse on our unit. That is her feeling. I am sorry I did not make that clearer.:imbar

I do not think that everyone that went into nursing went in with their eyes wide open, Marianne. The nurse that I referred to earlier believes that since the "losers"-those of us with no children or husbands-have "no attachments", then we should wor...
