  1. Detroit Tigers

    Can you believe the Detroit Tigers are 4-0? First they sweep the Jays and then knock off the Twins in a come from behind win. I'm getting excited but I know it's early. Go Tigers!!
  2. How does your hospital handle staff who want to vote?

    For this election I voted early using an absentee ballot. No driving to the poles, no waiting in line.
  3. coming out

    I've always thought that personal matters should be kept private.
  4. Most hospitals have websites to check out. You can even look at job postings. With the job market for nurses the way it is I don't think you'll have a problem doing whatever you want.
  5. Your not too late. I graduated from nursing school at 32, but my study partner was 45. I'm sure you'll do fine with whatever you decide.
  6. I just resigned my position! Would you?

    I'd give the two-week notice and split.
  7. Are you required to use "in house " cell phones??

    They can charge you for damage because it's not your property. We use these phones and I like them. No more being tied to a desk waiting for a physician to call back. The ones we use can be inserted into a holder that clips to the hip. I haven't brok...
  8. Appropriate Attire for an Interview

    My thought would be: just look professional. Remember, it's a job interview and not a night club.
  9. An RN changing meds without a doctors order?

    If what you say is true I'd document it with copies to your facilities administration and your state board of nursing. Again, If what you say is true she's practicing medicine without a license and could hurt someone.
  10. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

    My sentiments exactly.
  11. Changing recruiter

    Good luck with whatever you decide.
  12. I never want overtime period

    Just tell them. Then disable the phone when you need to sleep.
  13. Changing recruiter

    I'd finish the contract and find a different company.
  14. Changing recruiter

    When you change recruiters you deal with the new one. You won't hear from the other recruiter anymore.
  15. Changing recruiter

    Call the company you work for and ask to speak to the supervisor or vice president over the recruiters and tell her/him your concerns and that you'd like another, more responsive, recruiter. I did this and received a call from my new recruiter in a m...
  16. job interview question

    Sounds pretty normal to me. Most of us get nervous anticipating a job interview. Just do it anyway.
  17. do you iron your scrubs?

    I prefer pressed scrubs.
  18. How fast to you run a unit of blood?

    I run a unit at 200-250cc/hr, unless otherwise ordered. If multiple units are ordered and the patient has a hx of CHF the physicians usually order an IV dose of lasix between units to head off fluid overload.
  19. I've always used filter needles when drawing from glass ampoules.
  20. How marketable is the ADN?

    ADN's have a wide open job market. Good luck.
  21. scrub waists

    I'm looking for the scrubs that come with matching suspenders.
  22. Personality traits suited for ER??

    Variety is one of the best things about this business. If you want lots of excitment then choose a level 1 trauma center and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Or try ICU. Or work staff ED and do agency ICU. The possibilities are yours to explore. P...
  23. new grad RN- want to quit nursing

    Relax!! You're a new grad! Give yourself a break. In time you'll gain more experience and confidence. No matter how you feel just do things to the best of your ability. That's all you can do. We've all been there.
  24. 10:00am to 5:00pm.
  25. Acls

    Mastering ACLS, a Springhouse publication. It's a paperback too. Probably paid in the $30.00 range for it.
