Finally received information on the accuvein. The retail price for the unit is $4,500 (to purchase outright). They do have a lease to own option which is quite attractive. two-hundred a month, one year to decide if you would like to purchase unit. no...

OK...I think I understand. Thanks again.

I'm a little confused. Isn't the CRNI also a "course" that one takes. Finishing by taking an exam to show your knowledge of the presented material? I am not knocking the CRNI/INCC by any means I am taking the exam as well. I just don't understand why...

I just wanted to say Thank You (although I had to walk away and come back to finish for fear I was going to start bawling). You've given me another spark and reminded me of so many things that are taken for granted. We too are human. As nurses tend t...

I'm in South Florida (Dade, Broward and Palm Beach areas) I know as fact that in Broward and Palm Beach counties, every hospital has at least a full unit closed. some have closed two units. Most hospitals are giving mandatory time off. We do have a c...

I completely understand. I grew up in Southern Indiana (almost Kentucky) I hated being in that city almost every day of my 18 years there:banghead:. I too hope that one day acceptance and understanding will be common in all cities and states. I invit...

I too would ask if a trial would be acceptable. When I worked 4 12 in a row I thought I was gonna fall over. I ached so bad even my hair hurt. Although, I was on a heavy med/surg floor. So take that into account as well. It really sounds very app...
