AU-RN

I was wondering if there is any way to find out a list of which hospitals use certain computer charting systems? I'm looking for CA hospitals that use EPIC in particular. Or how do you find out which systems hospitals you've worked in the past used?...

Since your info isnt made available...all I can say is that you are too sensitive. You cant be thin skinned in nursing....ever had to hold your own with a DR? Being blunt and telling the truth in a situation is more valuable than worrying about wheth...

Not being mean...just realistic....sorry but the truth hurts!

Exactly! Thanks for stating this.

Unrealistic......they need TRAINED professionals....it's not your local volunteering group...this is the real deal. They dont need people getting in the way that cant help in the critical time of life or death. Holding hands is NOT gonna cut it....sw...

Any update on what happened with this potential strike? Never heard anything else about it.

I love being a thorn in their side too! Don't get me started on SEIU!!!!!!!!

Yes, you HAVE to be a licensed RN. What good would the inexperienced and unrefined skills of a nursing student benefit the Dr's and other medical staff down there? There are seasoned Dr's and Rn's that are realizing that even they cant handle the sit...

I just received an email forwarded by a trauma surgeon at WVU Med Center, from another trauma surgeon explaining his group's attempt to help. I hope this isn't too long to post- it was very interesting to me: "I believe we went in with a reasonably ...

Experience is the most valuable thing any RN could have in Haiti. It is a must.

You MUST be a licensed RN and experience is required. The situation down there is not suitable to those without extensive nursing experience-emotionally, mentally, and physically. It is hell down there and not the place for new nurses. Remember that ...

here is the latest from the fastaff website......sounds like they arent going to be sending anyone to haiti fastaff continues to be on "standby" with our contracted agency in texas. deployment is not imminent due to preparations needed for field hosp...

Im surprised they would take a LVN with 1 yr experience. There are RN's with years and years of experience that even speak Creole/French, prior military, and have lived/worked in Haiti before and even they said they have not been contacted to go.

Your reply is typical of union arrogance....you believe that union members should get special treatment while everyone else gets taxed....again that is why union workers play kissy face with Obama....you pat my back, Ill pat yours.....

Fantastic post!!!! Hear Hear!!!!!! Btw, you forgot to mention how the unions are nothing more than an extension of Obama.....and look what happened tonight in Kennedy country!!!!! People are fed up and unions shouldnt be in the back pocket for politi...

They are only accepting RN's to go to Haiti....the experience and credentials is what is required and needed.

This was a HOAX people.....there is a link about it on CNN posted on one of the other threads in this Volunteer section.

From everything I have seen....you MUST have a valid and active RN license in hand in order to go to Haiti. Not to mention a Passport, and like 10 different kinds of vaccines that the average US RN would never need or be required to have received. It...

Btw, speaking of unions...does anyone know the current status of the california strike that's supposed to be occuring next week? Ive heard conflicting stories on whether or not its going to happen? Thanks.

Hey, Im super curious as to what "self contracting" actually is and how in the world does that work? That sounds awesome. I would appreciate any info...if you would like please send me a private msg....thanks!

maybe the ER is great but ask anyone what they think of Med/Surg and the nurses being "verbal" will tell you how "unhappy" they are with that particular area of the nursing field.................

Ive noticed most of the younger nurses know nursing is a good career if you want job security and money....just ask nursing students or new grads what their goals are and they will most of the time say "travel nursing". Why is that? B/c of the freedo...

haha, a true reply to this would be 2 pages long. Just read and browse through the hundreds of threads and responses on this website and you will see why Nursing is so frustrating and the numbers of nurses are dwindling. If I had to sum it up....the...

i cant even begin to get into a discussion on how much I HATE druggies and how they along with doctors and nurses who give them their fixes are running our healthcare system into the ground. I was shocked the other day when i mentioned to an (appare...

ive only floated once, and it was the best day Ive had yet on my assignment. but I do m/s and was floated to ONC, dont know about L/D. I wouldnt let the chance of maybe having to float keep you from traveling. And Ive never heard of an L/D nurse bein...
