Help NC nurses :) I am looking at Murphy Medical Center in Murphy NC and Haywood Regional Medical Center in Clyde NC. Is anyone here familure with these hospitals..and if so would you recommend them? I am a travel nurse from the midwest and would lov...

I think what they are referring to is the adenosine protocol for alot of hospitals. You give 6 mg first, if that doesnt convert (put the patient back into a sinus or atleast slow their rate ) then you would proceed with more adenosine.

I have given adenosine 18mg at once bam...a few times. Usually with the cardiologist at bedside, and he knows what the pt requires to convert. Its not common, but have done it.

I see this is an old thread, just curious what came out of your interview? Do you like telephone triage nursing? Just looking into this nursing and thought I would ask for your input. THanks

Hello fellow nurses, I realise this is an old post but thought I would go ahead and ask a question on it. I have recently moved to a rural area with very little nursing options available. I currently have found a part time ER nurse position but need...

I am assuming you mean MU as in Mizzou, columbia MO? Just looking into the program, any other feedback you can offer me?

Can anyone give me a review of University Conneticut Hospital in Farmington Ct? I am looking at an ICU travel contract this fall! Excited to see the area, I am from the midwest and have never been anywhere even close to this area! Any information/rev...

Well this is a first for me, thought I might see if you have heard of this(or any advice). I accepted a contract in CT (I am from IL), got here two weeks ago and everything has been going well until this past weekend. I was working a 12 hour night sh...

Thanks for your input. Yes, the contract was ended over it. Lesson learned...I have never seen anything like that before. I heard nothing of it before 3:30 am my first weekend shift there. The agency knew of it, i am sure. I wasnt the only medstaff t...

Completely agree with you. Although with any company it needs to be in writing..I dont trust any agency. Medstaff has been dishonest with me through and through on the current assignment. This is the only assignment I have ever walked on... They woul...

Just to clarify a previous post I made: I did end up taking a contract with Medstaff and this is the first contract I have ever walked on. Terrible to put it kindly. The agency has not been helpful in the least bit, everytime I want to speak with my ...

Intersting. I am looking at a contract in Farmington Ct for 31/hour. I am living in IL and I can make that as a staff nurse. I guess part of it is the economy....they can get away with these poor pay rates. Knowing anything about Farmington? I have ...

Did you end up going with them? I havnt read alot of reviews myself but I am getting ready to sign a contract with them. I have been talking to Jason Iannoti (recruiter) and he seems pretty descent. I have been having a terrible time getting into a c...

Thanks for the information. I am looking at signing the contract for Farmington CT-UCon hospital. ICU position. I am driving from IL, I hate to think they are in such financial difficulties,...I very well might find myself driving right back. Thanks ...

Well I think there is alot of "fishyness" in what travel companies tell you right now. The agency that called me was core medical group. I have never worked for them, but certainly wasnt impressed with the recruiter and his information on what the co...

Did you end up going to Farmington? I am looking at an ICU contract there, and would appreciate some feedback! Thanks Auntsas

I am not familure with this facility beside. I was contacted from a travel agency that ROlla Mo was looking for an ICU travelor. I contacted the HR of that hospital and they told me they were not needing a travelor at that time, but forwarded me on t...

THanks for the info. I am looking at ICU. Any generalized recommendations on things to do in Belleville? I like photography in particular, I cant seem to find much stuff online. Thanks again, maybe we will run into each other here in a couple months!...

Did you end up working there? I am looking at a travel contract in Belleville IL at Memorial. How is the area? Do you know anything about Memorial? Thanks!

Fran: Good afternoon, I was doing a search for Mt Nittany Medical center to get some reviews. I have been submitted there for a travel ICU contract. Do you have any feedback that you would like to share? I am from MO, have never been anywhere near P...

Are there really hospitals that only have one l/d nurse working? Yikes...You are talking more than small! I can see your concern there, atleast icu there are two of you working. In my experience often another travelor though...shrugs! GOod luck to yo...

Everyone likes different things My home hospital is a big hospital, state of the art cardiac care. As a staff nurse, I enjoy it greatly. As far as travel contracts though, I prefer smaller rural community hospitals. I find them to be more basic know...

I am certainly not a L/D nurse, (cardiac icu here) but from traveling at first I would stick with what you know. So if you are use to rural/small country medicine hospitals...I would stick with that. Maybe after your first contract, you can start wor...

Do you know if they are still taking travelers? I would love to go there, it would be closer to home. I grew up outside of Kahoka MO. Thanks
