ah but i doubt you'll think your gods gift to the human race, not all but some do . . . .

whoa, this is meant as a light thread, not a bash docs into the floor kind of thing, I dont need the resident to respect me and i would rather they do but it isnt my concern my concern is the patient and protecting them from new folks either docs or...

I know it is different in all parts of the country, but not all christians are bible beaters who wont leave everyone else alone. I have learned over the years never to simply assume someone IS christian even though in my area most people are, until ...

One thing i hate about starting as a new employee at a hospital, even as an RN with experience, is that everyone does things differently and preceptors you work with can be great examples or horrid role models. You just need to find you niche, but d...

Nurses here hae widely varying pay rates some around 16 dollars per hour, some as much as 27 dollars per hour, and some agency nurses make even more. However, one must take into account the difference in the cost of living. You wouldnt be in a mans...

Hemo nurses are in damend. My mother did a transfer there from MICU, which she loves, and now loves dialysis. She is leaving her job which is split between the 2 to go back to dialysis full time. She will be making around 25/hr starting with a new...

I moved from a small hospital to a big one and from general floor to Burn ICU all in one jump, and I have not regretted it yet. It was scary, I was afraid other nurses might think I wasnt good enough or skilled enough or that I didnt have the experi...

Getting orgainized is a biggie, checking with more experienced staffers is a huge help. Also make out a "standard practice" for youreslf, your own routine that helps you out. Example, for me this means(when i m not in charge) listening to report, c...
