    klone replied to CardiacUnderground's topic in Ob/Gyn

    When I did it, my employer did not assist in any way, other than my manager signing the log sheet attesting to the hours I claimed on the job. Is there not an application packet or something at their...

    Scheduling above my required hours

    klone replied to Mel_L&D_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Just to be clear, that wasn't an official job offer :). Just saying that lots of hospitals, mine included, are totally willing to hire the right candidate and then train in L&D. In smaller...

    I wholeheartedly disagree. New grads can and do thrive in a critical care area. It just requires a very regimented training

    Monica Novii Cost

    klone replied to Graceisland's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I want to say it was around $6,000 for a unit. You also have to purchase a Y-cable, and the electrodes are $35ish per set (when you buy the Novii unit, it comes with 2 or 3 sets, but then they sell...

    I'm sorry this happened, OC. I know you say you can't handle LTC/SNF, but lots and lots of nurses handle it every day. I'm sure you're not any different from them. Sometimes you have to do things that...
