  2. teaching hospital VS. traditional hiospital

    I have worked in a teaching hospital for the past 15 years. We work closely with the residents and help train/guide the first year ones a bit but we dont mind. Although we do dread July 1st, after a...

  3. Nurses, Policemen and Firemen

    cjmue12 replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree there is a very big connection. I am a nurses but used to be a firefighter/paramedic. I met my husband (currently a firefighter) in fire class. My dad is a cop and his dad is a retired fire...

  4. What brand/type of shoe should I get?

    cjmue12 replied to opal6779's topic in General Nursing

    New Balance for me!! I have heard the crocs are great but the scuffing of feet people do in them drives me nuts. I have seen and heard the Dansko clogs are very good also but they run around $100.00....

  5. Do you call your physicians by their first name?

    cjmue12 replied to I<3H2O's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Where I work (Surg ICU) it is very common to call physicians by their first names, especially the residents. We develop a very close relationship when we are the ones the docs go to for answers when...

  6. Controversial Michael Moore Flick 'Sicko' Will Compare U.S. Health Care with Cuba's

    cjmue12 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks for that, I am still cracking up. I will refrain from comments until I see the movie. I dont know MM personally, never met him. But if he can somehow open peoples minds, get accurate...

  7. Heparinized vs Nonheparinzed saline in arterial lines

    cjmue12 replied to saranurse's topic in MICU, SICU

    We still use heparin in our flush bags. They are on pressure bags giving the 3ml/hr as mentioned. We (unfortunately) do not have a protocol to change to saline until their plts drop, or they have a...

  8. Acute Care Nurse Practitioner

    cjmue12 replied to Ekklesia's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ok so let me get your opinion on this - The institution I work for has partial tuition waiver for me (60%) waived. Grad school obviously being expensive, this is a nice benefit. However the NP/CNS...

    cjmue12 replied to Ekklesia's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is an interesting post for me also. I am in the process of applying and beginning the NP/CNS degree in the fall. I have been in the SICU for the past 12 years and thought about the CRNA program,...

  10. What the "bleep"?!?!?!?

    cjmue12 replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel the pain of returning to school with husband and kids. I went back a few years ago to get my BSN. My husband was a pain!! I was working full time nights, had 2 kids 10 and 13, and became...

  11. How many 12's?

    cjmue12 replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    With the shortage of nurses you would think they would offer the option of different shifts. Honestly though, most people where I work prefer 12's so they can have that one extra day off. I have done...

  12. How many 12's?

    cjmue12 replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    I just went to day shift a few months ago after working nights for 15 years. As far as nights go, if you are full time and can handle it, might as well do 3 in a row. Your first day off is a waste no...

    cjmue12 replied to altomga's topic in General Nursing

    The holiday nightmare starts on my floor around Spetember. People start complaining about having to work for different reasons. Bottom line is everyone's Christmas is important. We try to work it so...
