I love Epic charting...All the needed information is there, select and click all that applies.

Not knowing the big picture makes all the difference in the world. Maybe they were short in the nursery or the infant needed special care or another infant in the nursery did...unknown factors slow down the process of getting the babies out to parent...

Yes and that is one reason my RV is parked. However I miss not being in my own place with all my own stuff.

Think there is an age cut off. Be sure and see what that is if you are over the hill like some of us.

B. F. Skinner.....Out of the box.

What would the staff nurse response be to us if we asked them awkard questions. Where do you live, what do you make an hour, what are your benefits, are you married, have a signifant other and of what sex, children how many, who takes care of them wh...

Sorry, Psychology got in the way of my answer, it is really a deep subject...Union's and CA...they seem to be doing good for the nurses there! Just like the teamsters did for my Dad....

I am a super user and enjoyed the work. Working a few conversion contracts was a learning experience as the systems are still in the building process while staff was learning how to use it. This is a challenge and did leave some nurses frustrated, cr...

Foam/wash in and foam/wash out side the door.

Yes!!!! Strange Question. We pass the same NCLEX!!!

What is in NC that attracts you? My first job was there.

Gown, Gloves and clean any thing that comes in contact with un clean Mom and Infant prevents taking those little germs and who knows what else to your other patients. I love myself and will protect me, even when no one else cares.

Operant conditioning and negative feed back is mostly what we nurses experience. We need to get out of the "BIG SKINNER" box and seek help from where we may get it to protect us and all we have worked to accomplish. Seek knowledge, empower ourselves....

And to think these are educated adults looking for a reason to pounce on another nurse in some manner. Remids me of a crazy movie with various plots.

If you are in a compact state that gives you a license in 24 states. I have 3 in addition to the 24. Look at each states web site for license information and what you need to do. CA takes a while to get your license.

Get everything in writing. Ask the agency/company to send you what they are saying, this eliminates fast talkers that add un true information or mis information. This lets you make any corrections before you decide to take any position.

79 Tango...Tried to PM you for the Company in Houston's name. I have family there and it is rodeo time too!!! Would love to work there.

We are out here!!!! Working and living my dream..following the wind, (and Jobs)!!

Just say no to $16.00 per hr. The $300.00 travel pay should be X's 2..going and return home, actually that needs to increase due to gas increase. Anything under $25.00 hrly for first travel job would be insulting. Meals and incidentals and housing st...

$37.00 hr and you find your own housing out of this does not sound good anywhere.

Break down every penny. Daughter traveling with you lets me know you might want taxable income. We get in the age bracket of paying in to our Social Security to increase our retirement benefits. You might not want to show a low income in the later ye...

DixieRedHead....I love your response. I have been questioned while trying to eat, what a pain in the throat and tummy. I hate talking and eating on a timed schedule as we might just have enough time to gulp down our food...Let alone answer nosy peopl...

It is a good idea never to burn a bridge behind one, unless one never wants to return.

I have worked 2 assignments for them (AM) in CA..end of last year and first of this year. I did not get out on the branch and have the limb sawed off as your friend. I did have a housing problem and was moved 2 times before it was OK. That has to be...

Work a few weeks and see how the fit is for you and the other staff. Don't commit up front. Get that contract bonus and renewal in writing, after all you aren't getting travel pay..
