    Insurance Question. Please Help!!!

    TazziRN replied to Kasha143's topic in General Nursing

    A lawyer will not know you have insurance unless you say something. They kinda figure it out when you show up with your own attorney, and they flat out ask you. Yes, NSO will keep your info

    TazziRN replied to jessi1106's topic in General Nursing

    All hospitals that are JCAHO-accredited have this list. It was developed because of mistakes: MS could mean morphine sulfate or mag sulfate. the "u" for units could be mistaken for a zero when written...

    UCSF has a bad rep?

    TazziRN replied to jensfbay's topic in California Nursing

    High number of travelers is not always a bad sign. The last hospital I worked for relied heavily on travelers a few years ago. They had trouble attracting local nurses because the larger area...

    A few questions on Nursing.

    TazziRN replied to Oliver000's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, many LVNs in California graduate from programs that do not grant college degrees. And even RNs can graduate from a diploma program....they do not receive a college degree, depending on which...

    dcotor asked me to leave room

    TazziRN replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    I don't take it as a "dis" to nursing. Just like there are times when I need to talk with my pt without the dr's presence, so also the doctor may prefer to be alone with the pt. This does not mean the...

    CNA Clinicals

    TazziRN replied to ariannasmom's topic in General Nursing

    It's not uncommon, unfortunately. My daughter took a CNA class this past year through ROP and told me the same thing after her first week at clinicals. CNAs are overworked and the abusive ones,...

    Oboy........how should this be handled?

    TazziRN replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's a small enough town that I could walk from almost any part of it. The pt is at the end of a court so they might see me walk up but would not know the direction I came

    Oboy........how should this be handled?

    TazziRN replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Part-time job

    TazziRN replied to kmac734's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait at least a year if you're talking about picking up a second job. It takes that long for the average new grad to become fully proficient. And you don't have to stay in the ER, just keep in...
