I completed one contract at this hospital in California and was a month into my second one with them. I was called to the directors office and told that there were 2 discrepencies with narcotics i handled. One was a vial of fentanyl that i wasted the...

Thanks guys. I'll know by the end of the day if they have enough suspicion to report me to the board. If they don't I can be back to work somewhere else quickly. If they do my agency will drop me as well. I'll look into the drug test although that wo...

What kind of lawyer, criminal??

I have worked for both of those agencies and had great experiences. I was not happy at all with Flexcare, I had to fight for everything, and they got me into a lousy hospital that didn't need another traveler and ended early. I'm currently with Night...

Hi Guys, When I originally posted this it was January 2006. I have long since adjusted to the "new" terminology. My real concern at the time was that these docs were willing to ignore it unless fetal distress occurred. It was a small unit and there w...

My first baby 28 years ago weighed in at 11-4, had a c/s and hated it, 6 years later I had my first of 3 vbac's the largest being 10-7, no rupture and 3 great births. I think it's the doctors driving it, they can schedule it and be home in time for ...

First i have to say that i love your user name! You bring up something that in about 20 years of ob, i have never given any thought to. I have never seen any problems with atony during a c/s, not to say it doesn't happen, i just havent encountered i...

I concur!!!

I went to a professional to revamp my resume, they said less is more and chopped it. They would have cut out all the duties that you listed for each job. You can go to your local employment office and they will do it for free. But yes, I would hire y...

Thank you, my feelings exactly!!!

Way to torture a girl!! I arrived back home in rainy upstate ny after being on the central coast of cali for 10 months...cant go back for a really long time, have fun!!

Congratulations on your first job! You received some good advice from the other posters, so i just have a question: why, with the goal of midwifery, do you choose to work in an office? Most hospitals that I have worked in over the last few years, hir...

The incident I was talking about actually happened, I have been working l and d about 20 years, I have a great deal of experience and offered to share that with this brand new nurse...she declined because she had already taken care of 1 mag pt, she w...

you know something, i was freaked out when i was preparing for that exam as well, as i was sitting there taking it i remember thinking..when is it going to be killer...it was difficult yes, but if you have worked ob for any length of time you'd be su...

"Core Curriculum for Maternal child Nursing" that is what i studied inside out and scored strong on the exam. There was nothing on the test that wasnt addressed in that book. Good luck!

way to make me not want to quit travelin Val!!!! LOL!!

Speaking for myself, I am calling it a day for a while when this contract is up in July. I could probably renew again, but I'm tired and I want to go home....how long I stay home will depend on the job situation there. No, it's not the second contrac...

:yeah: :yeah::yeah: Thank you!!!

lovely!!:heartbeat

I've been out here since October and that is right around the rate many travelers are making..the further south along the coast, the less per hour....and California does this blended rate...your rate does sound a little low though..my housing is 2,50...

Just thinking of how much fun it is to precept a brand new nurse, that already knows everything and is having such a great time chatting at the nurses station that she declines my invitation to join me in caring for my sick mag pt..because "i've alre...

you do realize that if you are lucky enough to get hired, some day you too will be an experienced nurse...your post was a bit silly! AND who do you want as a preceptor...one of your buddies or one of us experienced nurses..be nice, you couldnt afford...

I am interested in hearing this as well....I have been doing l and d about 18 years and havent heard of documenting where you can stretch the cx to....when you perform a v.e. you are supposed to refrain from stretching the cx to determine dilation; i...

Run away!! Fast!!! I worked one assignment for them...never, never again!!!! Go to PPR, i'm on my second assignment with them and dont plan to leave them..they are honorable, competitive, thoughtful...send gift cards all the time..and keep in touch.....
