  1. Cedars-Sinai

    That's what I'm thinking too...
  2. Cedars-Sinai

    I hadn't been able to find any info on their C/Section rate. They do require contractors in L&D to have ACLS, which seemed a bit odd to me. That typically means they expect to handle their own codes within the unit staff, or the hospital is too s...
  3. Cymbalta

    Thanks ACNP for the update on your dinner lecture! (And dinner sounds yummy too! :chuckle ) Zias also mentioned fibromyalgia. I have a patient with fibromyalgia that I just put on Cymbalta yesterday! So I'll let you know how that goes. I thought if i...
  4. Troubled nurse

    Sorry to hear of your difficult situation. I guess it would depend upon the hospital. Nearly all of the larger hospitals would require a pre-employment physical with blood work first, which may disqualify you when they find out that you have Hep B. ...
  5. Cedars-Sinai

    Hello California! I'm wondering if any of you can give me any advice on Cedars, specifically L&D there? I'm considering a summer contract there, and I'm wondering about the work atmosphere. I searched this forum and found some older posts stati...
  6. Cymbalta

    Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. I have also checked the local pharmacies and definitely found Cymbalta to be more expensive than Effexor XR (expected, since they won't NEARLY have covered their R&D yet). ACNP, thanks for the releva...
  7. Cymbalta

    Thanks for the first-hand reports! It definitely does help....sounds like at least a looong discussion about potential side effects is in order! Jan
  8. Cymbalta

    Hello all! I'm wondering if any of you have used Cymbalta in any of your patients? I have a few patients who are currently on Effexor XR and are having side effects, but need an SNRI as opposed to just an SSRI. I'm thinking that Cymbalta may give the...
  9. Antsy nurse

    Hi "antsy"! First of all, let me say how sorry I am that you were assaulted. I feel for you. It changes your perspective on things, doesn't it? I see your dilemma, wanting to go, but unsure if you've had enough time in nursing, and what you should...
  10. Hi Just passing, I am an NP, and work in an integrative medicine practice (we combine herbal/"non-conventional medicine" with traditional allopathic medicine), as well as in a hospital setting. Chelation therapy has been practiced for over 50 years i...
  11. Travel Nursing in Boston

    Thanks everyone for your replies! I'll check out Cross Country!
  12. Just How do You do It?

    Good for you, Dixielee! That's how you make the system work for YOU, and not vice versa. I think it's wonderful that you had the desire to make what you want out of your career. I've been around the block a few times myself, and what you said about u...
  13. Travel Nursing in Boston

    Hi all! My husband is being relocated to Boston, and I think I'm going to give this whole travel nursing thing a try, in order to "play the field", if you will, before we decide where exactly to settle. Plus, the money and housing will be better as a...
  14. Any Boston area nurses out there?

    Thanks for your reply goody two shoes (cute name, btw :) )! My husband used to travel to Boston a lot for work, so at least HE was prepared for what it costs to live there--JEEZ! :uhoh21: I didn't realize that Massachusetts had any nurse unions, so ...
  15. Hi all! My husband and I will likely be relocating to the Boston area in the next 2-3 months. I wonder if anyone could give me some insight into the nursing community there, which hospitals are well-respected, etc. I am an OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner (...
