Is anyone familiar with rotator cuff surgery? How do patients usually do postop? Manage with showering, etc. From what I have read, it sounds like they are pretty limited and have a long recovery.

You guys (gals) are just too funny! thanks!

thanks, I think I was editing at the same time you were replying

What is the exact cause of diaphoresis in CHF? (other than just a SNS response) (maybe that's all it is) (I have already searched & searched and not found a definitive answer) TIA

80 or 89

I hear you! My opinion is that the general public should be darn grateful that there are people that are willing to do this work.

We weren't given a choice, just put on call. No on call pay. Sometimes we would even be canceled after driving all the way into work, with no compensation. Wonder why there is a shortage of workers?

as an RN, $6.024 an hour, in 1979

What type of unit do you work in?

Along the same vein, days dumps on evenings and then evenings has to stay late to get it done, can't leave it for nights since night shift is actually the start of another day (at midnight).

I wanted only days working agency, (not in Tennessee) and did not get even one shift. I ended up working evenings because that was what the need was, and the only way that I could get any hours.

Could it be because you only want days?

Same thing back in the 70's, in Hawaii, rich women would fly in from Hong Kong, or arabian princesses with their entourages would fly in, so their kid would be an American citizen. Maybe they should change the law so that the parents have to be citizens first before their kid can be.

That is a very good point. I guess it depends on whether or not you want to do someone elses dirty work. I decided years ago I didn't, it leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. I agree with the rest of DusktilDawn's post.

I've worked at places both near and far (eight hour shifts), the farthest was probably a 45 minute drive.

What is your age group? Do you think that might have come into play in some way, particularly if you have a lot of life experience? Go and apply somewhere else as if that would be your first job. Good luck!

I agree, you should get your BSN and your husband should get a job!

What was the blood sugar at 2200, before the lantus was given?

I'd quit.

Keep calling them back and ask about the status of your application. Good luck!

Oh, and it's not just new grads, some places are so understaffed and overworked that all the staff is staying a couple of hours over to chart. It has nothing to do with the individual nurse's time management skills.

I think that is against labor laws. Hospital would be in big trouble if reported to the labor board, and would probably have to pay back overtime, I would think.
