  3. Problem with cell phone range

    Vtachy1 replied to Vtachy1's topic in Telephone Triage

    If I'm scheduled for an 8 hour shift, I don't plan to leave the house. Maybe I wouldn't need the cell phone? Don't you have to be at your computer for the calls, to document assessments and have...

    Vtachy1 replied to Vtachy1's topic in Telephone Triage

    Very cool! I had no idea they had such things. Do you have one? I like the monthly small price instead of the $500

  6. "Tell Him Not To Go Into Nursing"

    Vtachy1 replied to californiadreaming's topic in General Nursing

    I am the odd one here I guess. If you want to have no life and no family, then I say go for it. Also if you don't mind your license flapping in the wind every time you go to work the long stressful...

  7. Nurses aging

    Vtachy1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    All the hoopla and talk about how the presidency ages a person. I would like to know how the field of nursing ages a person. I feel like I'm 90. I have gray hair now at the age of 36 almost 37. My...

  8. Non Direct Patient Care

    Vtachy1 replied to pnurseuwm's topic in General Nursing

    That is actually good advice. Nothing wrong with that. Although, this RNper diem was bashing me in the other post for always putting everyone else first. Which I do, without a doubt and I am glad...

  9. OB GYN nurses

    Vtachy1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have had burning in my urethra area for over a year now. It started after I had a raging UTI (after not voiding or drinking for 14 hours on a busy shift with lots of codes). So now it hurts when...

  10. I cannot do this job anymore!

    Vtachy1 replied to superwifenursewoman's topic in General Nursing

    I could have written your post too. I hate hospital nursing. I've been in the same hospital 19 years and it just never changes. I think the first 12 or so years it was still fresh and fun and I had...

    Vtachy1 replied to Otterina's topic in General Nursing

    Back in 1990, when I was a new nurse working on a med surg floor, we used to have vials of potassium sitting around for when we had to mix in IV drip with K+. I remember a nurse drawing up K+ instead...

  13. Curious about your job

    Vtachy1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I worked hospital nursing for 19 years. Do you get lunch breaks? I can count on 1 hand the number of times I took a lunch break. Mostly its my fault, I can't just leave when there is work to be...

  14. Working at Home as an RN?

    Vtachy1 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    With a 4 month old, I think you definitely should be home with the sweet little thing! Even if you have to work for 8 hours, if you could find a college kid or someone that would come to your home...

  15. Curious about your job

    Vtachy1 replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, it sounds so nice! I am actually frowned on for taking a lunch break. My co workers get huffy when other nurses take a break. As I'm getting older or feeling older and gray haired, I need to...

  16. Need a little help!

    Vtachy1 replied to One Flew Over's topic in General Nursing

    Check your local newspaper and also the local senior center gave me a list of names and phone numbers that local people give out that are willing to sit with the elderly or help with ADLs. I found a...

  17. What do you think?

    Vtachy1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Will there be any medical transcriptionists in the years to come? I know most doctor offices around here are using EMR now. But I hear that regardless of that, some docs still dictate reports and...

    Vtachy1 replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    Any ideas out there about work from home careers that I can do with 19 years of experience as a nurse? Or that don't even involve nursing? Right now I just really want to be home, I know that...

  19. What do you think?

    Vtachy1 replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't need much $, we've always lived really simple and never borrowed any money except for our home. We owe $40,000 on it. So I need or HAVE to make at least enough to get the dumb thing paid...

  22. To start nursing school - or start a family? Help!

    Vtachy1 replied to jlauren's topic in General Nursing

    In my situation, I have found that nursing is a HORRIBLE career to have during the child raising years. Unless you can find an office job or a job with banker's hours. But it may be different if you...

    Vtachy1 replied to missmiamoore's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I have been at the hospital in our small town for 18 years. Never once have I been to a Christmas party. There is alcohol there, and I am repulsed by alcohol. My father in law is a severe...
