  1. Feeling so depressed....

    woknblues replied to Trophywife81's topic in California Nursing

    Welcome to OC. I could not adjust to "the life" either. It took me a while to realize that I am just not a big city guy. They (big cities)are nearly the same all over the US, Canada, and even the...

  2. How long before its ok to quit?

    woknblues replied to ACRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I guess what we are all trying to say is, what is the name of your hospital, where is it, and what is the name of your HR manager? Just kidding... But

  3. My California CDC experiences thus far.

    woknblues replied to EnigmaticParadigm's topic in Correctional

    Howdy, Would you mind if I asked what your stats are? How long ago you wrote the internet "exam"? Your score in percent? Facility (or region?) I am talking to a guy who says the bg check is fast, like...

  4. CDCR: recommendations?

    woknblues posted a topic in Correctional

    My intention is to live in either Vacaville (more likely) or Folsom (preferred). I like these cities for their proximity to UCDavis (a must, as my fiancee will be entering the vet med program there),...

  5. Strangest thing ever said to you by another professional.

    woknblues replied to eriksoln's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Two weeks ago, A classmate and I overheard a surgeon tell a week old post op pt 60 y.o. f with a subtrochanteric fx with a new Dx of osteomyelitis that her pain was psychological... We just stood...

  6. benefits of CCRN?

    woknblues replied to ello7's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen many schools require a CCRN for admittance to post grad programs, or at least recommend doing so. Makes sense to me. To take a challenging test that you must study for and apply your...

  7. CDCR: recommendations?

    woknblues replied to woknblues's topic in Correctional

    Of course, this is now a problem for future employment opportunities, as CA prisions lost the fed receivership and all the $ that were attached to those projects.... Not to mention a recent massive...

  8. correction nurses pay scale??

    woknblues replied to sphz9471's topic in Correctional

    I went through the online app process here, hope it helps you some..

  9. jewelry in the labor suite?

    woknblues replied to oramar's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I knew my comments would bring out some ire, like I said, devils advocate and all that. I don't know what the neonate mortality rate is, but I do know that the US is far from the leader in the fight....

  10. jewelry in the labor suite?

    woknblues replied to oramar's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'll take the devils advocate and say that humans have been delivering babies for millions of years in areas less sterile than a modern day delivery room. Newborns and mothers that go normal...

  11. "Fired for NO Reason"

    woknblues replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The point of Ruby's initial post was not that Sal was making mistakes, it is that she didn't get it. Not getting it is what led to her demise. Not getting it is what happens when for example, you tell...

  12. What would your first priority have been?

    woknblues replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure others are saying this, but patient care comes before a d/c. Since you were already doing the linen change, it would make no sense to stop what you were doing and wheel. A d/c client is an...

  13. Saba University School of Medicine

    woknblues replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I am pretty sure that if the Caribbean medical schools were not accepted to the United States, they would cease to

  14. "Fired for NO Reason"

    woknblues replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Very interesting thread. I agree with the sentiments of Ruby. I am still a student nurse myself, but have encountered this type of thing in past careers. I really think that people do not appreciate...

  15. Ethical Question about NGs and medication administration

    woknblues replied to BeachyRNn08's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above sentiments. However, I would be hesitant to call his bluff, he is likely to say "ok, document it and do it".. then you are agreeing to go through with it. As you have stated,...

  16. In Shock about Missing Narcotics

    woknblues replied to LHH1996's topic in General Nursing

    It has pretty well been stated already, but I would like to add that in your action, you have likely saved your own job, and everyone else's job (maybe not the physician's) at that facility....

  17. RNs caught lying

    woknblues replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    Why are they lying about this stuff? Is there some reason / incentive to get a certain number of procedures / treatments in per client? Nurses are billed along with the room, so I can't see the point...

  18. Violence against nurses

    woknblues replied to sanctuary's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I am always surprised that employers are not sponsoring this type of legislation. They can and do get the pants sued off of them for not protecting their employees in situations similar to this. Every...

  19. hello

    woknblues replied to GI-RN-PDX's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi! Welcome! How was/is the job

  20. New Grad looking for a position in CA

    woknblues replied to Suri08's topic in California Nursing

    I would get a lawyer. If the hospital burns to the ground or declares bankruptcy and is turned into an office building, will those new grads be never allowed to work as nurses again? The students are...

  21. Hiring Freeze?

    woknblues replied to ERDawg's topic in Correctional

    My interpretation: When I recently (last month) submitted my online test to the CDCR for a position, I was scored, and placed in a rather large pool of a couple of thousand. Also, there was an item of...

  22. Fingerprinting and license renewal

    woknblues replied to luvnmamaRN's topic in California Nursing

    Wow, with all this efficiency, I just cannot understand how the state budget is such an issue? Maybe they think your fingerprints have

  23. Names of hospitals applying to work in Bay Area for fresh grad BSN, RN holders?

    woknblues replied to bizzy-b's topic in California Nursing

    Person has American flag and lists "originally from Hawaii". Seems pretty American to

  24. how do I find out about getting license from florida if in school in another state??

    woknblues replied to stephierd81's topic in Florida Nursing

    I know for a fact that you will not have to take the NCLEX

  25. Online Nursing Programs

    woknblues replied to Shinka's topic in General Nursing

    In any profession or career or resume, a prestigious school looks good. If you go to one, by all means, mention it. However, if you have passed the NCLEX, little else matters to an employer that will...
