Hello, I was wondering if any of you have ever been employed as a nurse at SAMMC (formerly Brooke Army Medical Center) in San Antonio. I have been speaking with a private company that states they hold all the nursing contracts with the hospital f...

I've done this for the past few years. Before I was married I paid for my insurance out of pocket, but still took home more than I would if I was full time. Now my husband takes care of the benefits.

My current hospital uses Meditech....HATE IT,!! I think only the people who've never used anything else would actually like it. My last two hospitals used HEC (McKesson), now that I really liked...never used epic, but never heard anything bad either

I was offered $24 with five year experience and a specialty certification in Gainesville.....not sure what new grads make, but if an experienced rate is that bad then the new grad rate must suck!

Hello, I have never traveled before but I am considering it. The main thing I want to know is what happens if you don't complete a travel contract due to medical reasons (ex. Bedrest or preterm labor). I am moving to a town with only two hospital sys...

What part of the country do hospitals still have IV teams? It seems like they've gotten rid of them in the southeast (except children's hospitals). I've been an ER nurse for 5yrs and IV starts are my thing! I've come across very few Veins I couldn't ...

Does anyone have any current info/ opinions on this....especially for ER nurses?

So I moved to a new city because my husband got a better job there. I'm indifferent about the city but I absolutely hate my new job. The ppl seem nice but the way the department flows gets to me. I'm trying to figure out if my old job just spoiled me...

What exactly is the trauma program coordinator responsible for? At my last job the trauma coordinator taught TNCC and the TNS class and did some quality assurance work, but aside from that she was never seen in the department. At my current job, it s...

Have any of you ever worked at a freestanding ER? What were the pros and cons? I recently moved and there were none in my previous state, so I don't know a whole lot about them. So far, the only thing I've heard from nurses I work with is that the fr...

Do you work away from the bedside? What is your job title? How much and what type of experience did you need to get the position? I am currently an ER nurse with four years experience, but my current position is making me feel like it may be best to ...

I've been trying to get the same info for experienced nurses. Generally, it seems like most ppl don't want to answer questions about pay. Good luck!

Thanks zmanc. As far as patient care, I feel like I can take care of my patients, but they aren't getting my absolute best. By that I mean, I'm still very careful with meds and thinking critically about the patients situation, but when it comes to th...

I just moved to Texas, so far I was considering a second job with a hospital IV team, but so far there doesn't seem to be any hospital based IV teams. Do any of the hospitals in or near San Antonio have IV teams?

Thanks for your response Nalon 1. What is SWAT? It sounds like that's what I would be looking for. I'm an ER nurse, but for a second job I'd want something a lot less hectic. Starting IVs is one of my favorite things to do, especially when they're a ...

Hi all, I will be moving to San Antonio within the next three months. I am an ER nurse with my BSN, CEN, BLS, ACLS, and TNCC. In February I will do PALS (never needed it before). As of March 201, I will have 4years nursing experience (all in ED)....
