  1. Pray for me!!!!!!! Only 9 weeks until this assignment ENDS!!!!!!!!!!

    ERRNTraveler replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    The 6.5 weeks will go by fast- just think, you're "over the

  2. Non compete clauses?

    ERRNTraveler replied to dragonflier's topic in Travel

    I still think the non-compete clause would apply if you were wanting to take an assignment at the same hospital but with a different travel

  3. Taking Photos on Your Mobile Phone in a Aged Care Facility

    ERRNTraveler replied to miss flossy's topic in General Nursing

    As others have said, this is a HUGE HIPAA violation! Even in the ER, if the police come in to take pictures of an assault victim, we still have to get the patient to sign a photo

  4. Nursing as a second course?

    ERRNTraveler replied to mitchdlbartolome's topic in General Nursing

    I went to nursing school with a woman who was a doctor in the Philippines- she said that if she wanted to be a doctor in the US that she would basically have to repeat medical school, so for her, she...

  5. Will I really be qualified enough?

    ERRNTraveler replied to mickjordmoll's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an RN with my 4-year BSN degree, and I still say that I learned more in my first year as a nurse than I ever did in school- I think that this is true for most

  6. Licenses for different states?

    ERRNTraveler replied to sueinga's topic in Travel

    Yes, you need to be licensed in each state that you plan on working in, UNLESS your home state is a compact state- if it is, then you don't need a new license to work in other compact states, but will...

  7. Non compete clauses?

    ERRNTraveler replied to dragonflier's topic in Travel

    It's not just you that signed the non-compete clause- the hospital that hired you as a traveler has also agreed with your travel company not to hire you on as regular staff for a year- if they do,...

  8. submitted to a hospital

    ERRNTraveler replied to AfghaniPrinzess's topic in Travel

    Here's ho it works: Your recruiter presents you with different job openings, and then you tell him/her which ones you would like to be submitted to. If the hospital likes your resume, they will call...

  9. let's get factual

    ERRNTraveler replied to cooblu's topic in Travel

    Here are facilities I've worked at: Naples Community Hospital & North Collier Hospital, Naples, FL: Pro: Beautiful community Cons: The canceled many travelers' contracts early & I had to...

  10. question about multiple agency submissions..

    ERRNTraveler replied to AfghaniPrinzess's topic in Travel

    As long as you are only submitted for a particular assignment by ONE agency, you're OK. It's considered a big no-no to have 2 different companies submit you for the SAME assignment (not illegal, just...

  11. Pray for me!!!!!!! Only 9 weeks until this assignment ENDS!!!!!!!!!!

    ERRNTraveler replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    The OP tried to tell us the name of the hospital, but then one of the moderators went back in and edited out the name of the

  12. They didn't even check my references??

    ERRNTraveler replied to Dad-2-3's topic in General Nursing

    I would be afraid to work at a place like that- if they didn't verify your license, what kind of co-workers are you going to be working

  13. They didn't even check my references??

    ERRNTraveler replied to Dad-2-3's topic in General Nursing

    If your references had already written letters of reccommendation, perhaps your employer felt there was sufficient information in those letters to assist them in their decision-making process. A lot...

  14. ER Documentation

    ERRNTraveler replied to smlm1's topic in General Nursing

    In most ER's I've worked at.... Levels 4 & 5 get VS & assessment documented Q 4 hours, Level 3 Q 2 hours, Level 2 Q 1 hour, and if you've got a Level 1, it had better be a 1:1, so you would...

  15. Funny patient names by nurses

    ERRNTraveler replied to Kidrn911's topic in Emergency

    I always get a kick out of patients named "Melena" (have seen this several times). If only these parents knew that they've named their daughters after bloody

  16. My MI by me

    ERRNTraveler replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

    Because Tom's not dead, & that's pretty

  17. Bedside reporting is back!

    ERRNTraveler replied to rnanm's topic in California Nursing

    hehe... Thank god, because if a nurse needs someone to show her where the Foley is, she's got some serious

  18. How to find education for a specialty

    ERRNTraveler replied to Sunnyf68's topic in General Nursing

    I agree- if a hospital is willing to hire a new grad with NO experience, they should be willing to hire you- even if you don't have hospital experience, you still have more experience than a new...

  19. Do you clean desk and hands before test?

    ERRNTraveler replied to jbtampa's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went to school in WI, but we had to do similar things there- I don't see what the big deal is, if you're not cheating, then why would it bother you to have to wash your desk & hands before a...

  20. nursing in the Fox River/ Green Bay area?

    ERRNTraveler replied to hellerd2003's topic in General Nursing

    I travel now, but I used to work at Aurora Baycare in Green Bay- I loved it there, but I worked in ER, and they had some management issues in the ICU (this was 1 year ago). I have also worked at St....

  21. Making the switch?

    ERRNTraveler replied to Brit4321's topic in Emergency

    I worked in Peds before I switched to ER, so taking care of "big" people kind of freaked me out, too! EKG interpretation scared me (not too many peds patients having heart attacks), and I thought a...

  22. How to find education for a specialty

    ERRNTraveler replied to Sunnyf68's topic in General Nursing

    You can take ACLS & PALS- this will make you more

  23. NA's not professionals

    ERRNTraveler replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    I've been there, done that as well, with no help. And I could do it again if I needed to, so yes, I COULD do without CNA's if I had to. Sure, CNA's make my job a lot easier, but could I still do my...

  24. Sometimes you can't win (long)

    ERRNTraveler replied to mom2michael's topic in General Nursing

    Only a few more shifts & you're outta there- hang in there, it sounds like your new job will be MUCH

  25. Ever work at one of these Fla. hospitals?

    ERRNTraveler replied to bald1rn's topic in Travel

    I work in ER, and when I took an assignment in Naples, I had to take the Med/Surg version of the PBDS. I have an excellent study guide for the med/surg version of PBDS- PM me with your e-mail...
