  1. consulting while traveling

    RN1989 replied to SheaOBRN's topic in Legal

    Having a changing point of contact would probably be a turn off for prospective clients. Although electronic communication is prevalent, they would likely shy away from someone that moved around....

    I use Norton from Symantec after an incident years ago where McAfee did not respond timely enough come up with an update against a trojan that allowed a hacker into my system. No problems with...

  4. Aquapheresis

    RN1989 replied to cardiacnurse05's topic in Cardiac

    This all sounds fascinating but I don't see this as something feasible to be done on the floor. Not unless you've got a ratio of only 3-4:1 with strong CNA backup to take care of the rest of the...

  5. On the road...

    RN1989 replied to CRNAspire's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would go ahead and apply. If you can make a strong showing on an app or an interview if you got called, that could definitely put you into the running faster for an open

  6. deficit and prices

    RN1989 replied to tinalove's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Tafford.com sometimes has good scrubs sales as long as you are not picky about wanting 100% cotton. Usually it is only the poly/cotton blends that are cheaper. Sam's Club and Walmart sell scrubs in...

  7. has anyone heard of this??

    RN1989 replied to medsearcher1's topic in General Nursing

    RN1989 replied to Texas Transplant's topic in Cardiac

  9. interview attire?

    RN1989 replied to ragincajun24's topic in Texas Nursing

    Please wear a suit. I cannot believe the number of nurses I have seen in recent years showing up in everything from wrinkled scrubs out of the hamper to shorts and flip flops. When I asked those...

  10. Joke/Rejecting the Rejection Letter

    RN1989 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I know of a woman who currently refuses to believe she has been fired because they didn't give her an exit interview. They cashed out her PTO and sick bank and gave it to her in cash and erased her...

  11. What's your ANNUAL SALARY?

    RN1989 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    Since you have very little nursing experience under your belt I can understand how you might believe that this is true. In case you have been deluded like most people into thinking that there is a...

  12. What's your ANNUAL SALARY?

    RN1989 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    Baglady - I looked at her posts. Her posts sound like her hubby is a doc and she hasn't been out working in the real world in quite while. Thinking she's bored and just trying to stir up

  13. What's your ANNUAL SALARY?

    RN1989 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for letting me know that only stupid people become nurses. I guess I've been deluding myself all these years that I actually have a brain and know how to use

  14. Policy on patient leaving AMA with IV in place

    RN1989 replied to trainer2070's topic in General Nursing

    Most PD's don't do anything when you call and I have had one tell me not to call again for something so stupid after I nicely explained that it was the hospital's policy that I call. They have too...

    RN1989 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on exactly what you do at these non-hospital jobs, what job you would apply for later on, and how desperate they are for

  16. What's your ANNUAL SALARY?

    RN1989 replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing has a lot of responsibility. Salary is not the reason you should be thinking of being a nurse. Most people who become nurses merely for a better salary for a woman end up hating their jobs...

  17. advice needed badly

    RN1989 replied to MY DOG SADIE's topic in General Nursing

    Too many patients and not cool with not having an RN assigned there to take care of things. I'd pass on the job. This is skilled nursing and they are going to want a lot of extra specialized...

  18. compliance audits anyone????

    RN1989 replied to snuggles49's topic in Nurse Management

    Never heard of HFAP before. Found their site on the net and it looks like JCAHO knock-off. They have info on their patient safety initiatives and problem areas like restraints, meds, physical...

  19. Nursing agencies

    RN1989 replied to gsr1306's topic in Agency Nurses

    Each agency negotiates their own contract with each facility. The pay from each agency differs not only according to that contract but according to how much over the amount you get paid that they...

  23. hyperbaric nurses out there?...need advice pls

    RN1989 replied to travelling_hel's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    If you are sure that you want to do this, you probably would find more jobs as a tech then as a nurse. The majority of clinics that have an HBO chamber generally utilize techs due to the lower cost...

  24. Dialysis Nursing, how do I get my foor in the door

    RN1989 replied to Poochee's topic in General Nursing

    Dialysis nursing has a fairly high turnover. Getting a job is not usually difficult. I recommend that you get a minimum of a years worth of experience in medsurg in your new role as an RN before you...
