Sorry for the end of my post last night, I was responding from my blackberry and thought I'd lost the post altogether! The gest of what I was getting at is that on our floor, it's too difficult to...
I work in a very busy unit that has a small seperate pstpartum unit ( 8 couplets) but with close to 200 deliveries a month & only 14 LDR's, we have to keep some of our PP until discharge. I HATE...

I have worked with QS, BirthNet, and OB TraceVu........TraceVu outshines the other two. I believe Birthnet may have gone out of business....no interfacing at all, and you needed to document the same...
at my regular facility (i am currently on a travel assignment, but will be returning in april), we charge nurses come to the unit 15 mins prior to the rest of the staff and get report from the night...
Since when do you need "stitches" to have dermaplast ordered? Many deliveries can result in "skid marks" that can be as uncomfortable as stitches! You blew those little guys out because you were at...
I DO have that file with me. The labs they requested were for Hep B titers, not Hep C. They also asked for MMR & varicella titers, as well as a current PPD reading. I don't see any reason to...
I am currently on my first assignment in Maine. I am with RNNetwork and before leaving for this assignment, I was required to submit a drug screen and titers. I cannot for the life of me remember...

A lot of agencies have "non-compete" clauses in their contracts, meaning...if you "test drive" the hospital & locale and really decide that you want to stay, you will not be able to take a full...
I hope I really didn't sound that full of myself! I don't think for a minute she would have waited TOO very long for an answer! I think my recruiter was trying to put some pressure on getting me to...
Hi, I have just signed on for my first 13 week travel assignment in Maine, starting Jan. 12th. I too am interested in Alaska for the summer. There is an excellent site "city-data.com/forum" that has...
The agency is RNNetwork. Told me during first conversation with her that they were the "only" agency that paid double for overtime. Got the contract and although I am contracted with work 36hrs a...
I'm curious about the negotiations of these contracts. I just accepted (haven't signed the contract) a position in Maine. This assignment is 1500 miles from my home (live in Florida), but travel...

The recruiter from cctc emailed me (this a.m.) that they still have an L&D position in Coral Springs (which is in the Miami area) with a Dec. 29 start date. It's too soon for me... did you check...
