  2. IV in AC

    webbiedebbie posted a topic in General Nursing

  5. New Hanover Wilmington

    webbiedebbie replied to busyrninva's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    NHRMC is a nice hospital and it is still growing. They do have some problems, but most hospitals do anyway. They utilize payroll deduction for everything. If you don't utilize it in the cafeteria,...

    Every company will tell you something different. Travel companies are a business and they are also looking out for themselves. The only thing I can suggest is research each company before making a...

  15. Pay Scale?

    webbiedebbie replied to NICU RN wannaB's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Same as new grad in any hospital. There is no difference in pay between OB and say Med/Surg. We are paid as "nurses". Most won't pay extra in a specialty unless you are

  16. Resignation Via E-Mail

    webbiedebbie replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

    It is a shame that nurses are treated like we are in kindergarden! We are adults and we are professionals and we should be treated with respect. Where would the hospitals be w/o nurses?! Hospitals...

  17. Need help with nurses notes

    webbiedebbie replied to whinnymay's topic in General Nursing

    What type of charting does this hospital use? Where I work, we use PIE charting. It was hard to get used to at first, but now I find it a breeze to

  18. Returning to Nursing....

    webbiedebbie replied to KAP's topic in Florida Nursing

    webbiedebbie replied to Sahn's topic in General Nursing

    If I don't work, I don't get to pay my bills. If I can't pay my bills, then I am not taking care of my family. I love what I do in nursing. I make every effort to give my patients the best care....

  23. How can I get into OB-GYN????

    webbiedebbie replied to moliuchick's topic in Nursing Career

    I would say it might depend on how well you do in your OB rotation. Most hospitals would like you to have one year on Med-Surg to develop your nursing skills. That is the "experience" they are...

  24. IV in AC

    webbiedebbie replied to webbiedebbie's topic in General Nursing

    I would say so! The only thing I got out of it is that it is "easier" to start one there and it seems to be easiest access. (Understand this is why EMS uses this site). I was taught to begin at the...

  25. Will Non-BSN nurses ever be fired?

    webbiedebbie replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above post. What is wrong with having a "clinical ladder" for education? CNA to LPN to ADN to BSN to Masters? I myself do my own education. I have been a nurse for 15 years. I...
