  1. E.R Security

    Crux1024 posted a topic in Emergency

    I did a search for this, but the most recent threads were from 2005, so I figured it was time to ask again. Does your E.R have a dedicated security officer, or team (depending on the ER size)? I...

    Crux1024 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I dont like kids either...and I have two... OP, To each their own. We're not all apron wearing, cake baking, soccer momming women. You do what you want and let her live in her own little

  3. What would YOU ask the E.R.? (interview)

    Crux1024 replied to Crux1024's topic in Emergency

    Well, I had the interview this afternoon and it went great! They were truly impressed with my list of questions I had for them, Thanks All! The ER director and NM both said they really liked me and...

  4. help with path to crna

    Crux1024 replied to someguy101's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A lot of colleges will offer nursing programs. You need to get a bachelors degree in Nursing to begin with, then will need 2 years of critical care experience working as a nurse. Have you searched...

    Crux1024 replied to Crux1024's topic in Emergency

  7. What would YOU ask the E.R.? (interview)

    Crux1024 replied to Crux1024's topic in Emergency

    I was told by my friend that works there that CEN is an extra $2 an hour.. Does this sound reasonable? I feel like thats alot for a certification, but i'll admit I dont know all what it

  8. What would YOU ask the E.R.? (interview)

    Crux1024 replied to Crux1024's topic in Emergency

    Can you clarify these levels? I dont know what they mean... Also, I dont wanna float! ugh. I would probably turn it down if offered if that was the case. Thats what Im trying to get away

  9. What would YOU ask the E.R.? (interview)

    You guys are great. Im typing up my list of questions now...and with any luck, I'll appear to be interviewing the E.R director.

  10. update on 2nd interview

    Crux1024 replied to RI Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Id say send the Thank You letter anyways. Go for the job if youre offered it. 3 to 11 isnt bad. In my area, new grads start on straight nights 95% of the time. And I'd venture a guess that most people...

  11. thinking about nursing school

    Crux1024 replied to molela's topic in General Nursing

    Everyones time needed to get good grades will be different. I worked full time, went to school full time and had my 2 kids with me every evening b/c hubby was at work during my nursing program. I...

  12. God, my feet hurt!

    Crux1024 replied to chall2011's topic in General Nursing

    I wear New Balance running shoes with Dr Scholl orthotic inserts (I got at a drugstore). My feet only hurt when i have killer nights now, before it was an every day

  13. what options besides bedside nursing are there for new grad

    Crux1024 replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone I am still in contact with, who graduated with me from school went into some kind of direct pt care job. Its hard to get into case management, insurance com, schools, teaching etc without...

  14. Thank you letter post interview

    Crux1024 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Send it anyway, and possibly a funny, quirky comment about how it never got to them. You never

  15. How do I get on the path of working as an RN in a different country. I was born in US

    Crux1024 replied to cluv2nurse's topic in International Nursing

    My thoughts would be to check with an agency that does international assignments. See what they pay and then see if itll be enough to balance that

  16. Morphine dose in vial?

    Crux1024 replied to Chaya's topic in General Nursing

    We have 1mg, 2mg, and 4 mg carpujets. Makes it convenient for almost any

  17. LPN to RN

    Crux1024 replied to krishna17's topic in LPN to RN

    You may want to try messaging the original poster for that or posting in the appropriate state forum. Thats a very specific question that most here wont be able to

  18. Staffing Sucks

    Crux1024 replied to JustEnuff2BDangerous's topic in General Nursing

    At my hospital, the charge RN gets to ultimately decide whether or not to send our aides to float after the Nursing supervisor requests it. Theyve never taken our aides to leave us with none, and if...

  19. Spouses/Visitors In Patient's Beds

    Crux1024 replied to jpmrt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Getting into the bed does not automatically make you a patient, so how would the company/hospital be liable if they fell? Shouldnt this then also apply to anyone who even walks in the hospital and...

  20. Applying for jobs?

    Crux1024 replied to JenMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I cant imagine that applying to anything other than school transcripts. You can always call to see though, if youre still

  21. so i called in sick today...

    Crux1024 replied to wishiwereanurse's topic in General Nursing

    She wouldnt be getting fired b/c she was pregnant. She'd be fired for missing work. Not really discrimination, if the OP/facility dont know shes pregnant. I hope you figure out whats going on once you...

  22. I don't Know what to do?????

    Crux1024 replied to mnrb_mdn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all the above. One of the best teachers we had in school had lupus amongst other health issues and she was awesome. She was very upfront about herself, and it didnt appear to hinder her...

  23. Where are the candy stripers?

    Crux1024 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    The "candy stripers" in our facility are usually elderly volunteers. They have a candy cart that also has books and magazines and walk up and down the halls. They also deliver mail and flowers. They...

  24. Does the MD just say "Get the consent?"

    Crux1024 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Like many others, I only have the consent signed if the doctor has already spoken with them and answered ALL their questions. Sometimes the docs go in and explain but dont have a consent readily...

  25. Best Tool for Learning Medical Spanish

    Crux1024 replied to Rebecca, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the practice..try going to a Spanish market or bodega in your area and kinda listen to whats going on; give a try at reading the products. Also check your hospital/local community college...
