as i said previously, from what i understand MOST all cameras that are going into facilities now are not 24/7 surveillance unless the situation warrants it. think how much hard drive/tape would be needed for 24 hour footage of however many beds. it...

that will probably be a good enough smack to his ego that he'll take a step back and re-evaluate next time...

i'm from facilities where the ICU teams are the code teams as well. i can honestly say nearly 99% of all codes i responded to, as soon as the nurses saw us (ICU nurses) walk in the room, they bailed. i can't tell you how many times i had to run a c...

telemedicine....it's the route everything will transition over time. the last hospital i worked at had video monitoring in all of the ICU rooms with a central "bunker" with screens that could see all of the rooms. in our hospital, though, the camer...

I didn't know where else to put this, so I'm posting it in the general discussion. I'm in somewhat of a situation. A little history: I worked as a phlebotomist for 2 years, nurse tech in medical intensive care unit for a year, then worked as a surg...

you do have a good point. i have a few friends who are in anesthesia/medical school in new orleans so that may be an option to crash at their place (if they're willing)

the ICU job is in New Orleans and I live just outside of Baton Rouge. it's probably cheaper for me to live here than to get a place in New Orleans....that and i think i'd rather NOT live in New Orleans....that's just me, though. i love going to NOL...

my offer is for full-time days. i worked nights before, but now i'm wanting the daytime thing. my wife and i have a new baby, so i want to be home at night whenever possible.

no call. it's 3 12's and if i want to pick up overtime, it's always there to take if i want it. i don't mind the money on gas. i wouldn't take a job based on how much i made so i wouldn't negate a job over $80/week in gas. i agree that the 12 ho...

I just got back from Durham last night. I toured Duke's hospital as well as their nursing school. You have to be there at 0730 and will wrap up around 1630. There will be a question and answer format session, tour of the school, general informatio...

i'm going to be applying to duke this year (july 1 deadline) to start in january '10. for any of you that have checked into the area, know someone that works there/lives there, or for those of you who are applying there, do any of you know of good/b...

i guess that's what i'm asking: what areas/specific apartments should i look at? i live in denham springs, louisiana which is about 15-20 minutes from my job in baton rouge. 45 minutes away from duke's campus would be a bit too far for me to handle...

not all require a BSN. i have a bachelor's from LSU with a major in biological sciences and a concentration in pre-med. i've contacted several schools that i was interested in and MOST of them (probably about 20 schools) only require a bachelor's i...

i'm not sure what they tell applicants that they interview, but i don't see why it would matter. i don't know. i'm traveling up there in the middle of june or so to do a walk around of the campus, look for possible housing (if i'm accepted) and just...

and i bet i know who this is.......my fellow ICU co-worker. housing will be expensive anywhere around the baton rouge area (yet still not as expensive as other areas of the country). i live in denham springs which is about 15 minutes from baton ro...

i know i'm going to be applying to Duke to start in January of next year and they have a deadline of july 1. however, i can't tell you any stats because i don't know many.
