  1. What about the birds??

    janetjanetbobanet replied to weetziebat's topic in General Nursing

    Had a great horned owl that used to sit on a pole by my house at night when the weather was cold. I'm sure he flew over many times. Nobody died.

  2. Need Nurses

    janetjanetbobanet replied to sassychris's topic in General Nursing

    A former coworker who is part Cherokee and looks it went to work in a Navajo hospital in the southwest and had a terrrible time. She had people tell her they "wanted a Navajo nurse" and were very...

  3. Evans Army Hospital or Air Force Academy Hosp?

    janetjanetbobanet replied to Elizabeth Hanes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    My daughter works at Evans, and I think it's a pretty decent place to work. She worked for the VA for awhile, then got a job at an Army hospital in Kansas where she was living then, and transferred...

  4. Denver VA

    janetjanetbobanet posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Anyone here work at the Denver VA or know anyone who does? Wondering what the staffing and job satisfaction are like. I am weighing whether to transfer there or get out of the VA system and work...

  5. Nights: Normal schedule on days off??

    janetjanetbobanet replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I've been working nights for about 20 years now. I don't flip unless I am going on vacation or going to be off at least a few days in a row and have a really good reason to. You can do stuff around...

  6. Interviews in Colorado springs area....any advice?

    janetjanetbobanet replied to alexan18's topic in Colorado Nursing

    So overall do you get the feeling that most nurses at Memorial are reasonably happy there? Is the patient to nurse ratio decent and do co-workers generally get along OK? I am deciding at this point...

  7. Worst visitors ever

    :rotfl:

  8. open visitation in the icu?

    janetjanetbobanet replied to misscece's topic in General Nursing

    We have open visitation in our ICU also, and for the most part we don't like it. We have had several families who play "pass the baton" all night from the waiting room, going in the patient's room...

  9. Don't just get to work on time....

    janetjanetbobanet replied to clee1's topic in General Nursing

    George Foreman grill, works like a charm. Have to close up the nurses' lounge door pretty good, though, or the smell will drive the patients

  10. Get to Work On Time.

    janetjanetbobanet replied to banditrn's topic in General Nursing

    Used to have one that did that one place I worked. She came in early, parked herself at the desk and pointedly said "I'm not on duty yet." if the phone would ring. Think she was there to spy on...

  11. RN I to RN II

    janetjanetbobanet replied to Woman_in_love's topic in General Nursing

    In the VA system we have Nurse I and Nurse II levels, but there is nothing automatic about it. It depends on your evaluation and the decision of a group of people on a board. Most BSN's move up to...

  12. Would you recommend nursing to your daughter?

    janetjanetbobanet replied to burn out's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a kid I thought nursing was gross and said I would NEVER be one. Well, never say never, here I am. Now both my son and daughter are RN's. Figured I might as well encourage them once they...

  13. Young & Ignorant

    janetjanetbobanet replied to Irishgirl's topic in General Nursing

    You can't spend your nursing career worrying like that! None of us want to do anything that would hurt our patients and we try to do the best we can under sometimes difficult conditions. You asked...

  14. Documenting pain and pain medications

    janetjanetbobanet replied to fetch33's topic in General Nursing

    Me neither. The system forces you to

  15. Do you feel valued in your current nursing position?

    janetjanetbobanet replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto what you

  16. Am I too old?!

    janetjanetbobanet replied to RyanL's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, not too old. I graduated at 41 and had a classmate who was 55. Go for

  17. Wichita pay

    janetjanetbobanet replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    I do live in Wichita but I work for the VA where salary is quoted in yearly ranges and I've been here a long time, but I think you are looking at just over $20 an hour. I could be wrong about that,...
