   Hey, PM me. I went through the regular BSN program and know all the folks there.

2. The nurse-call button...

   JeeperN replied to LauraLiz's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Our unit secretary does a great job running interference for us on pt needs. Pt calls out if the IV is beeping, if they're in pain, etc. Then she'll let the RN know. Saves me a trip all the way down the hall since I can take what they need as a I ...

   That's what I'm saying too. Took some heat for it... but those are the rules.

4. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

   JeeperN replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

   Well Alex, you just have to know that I've played by all the rules, busted my butt in every way possible in life and end up in the same place as the people taking short-cuts. Yes, you should be held accountable for your choices. And I want to have ...

   JeeperN replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

   Wow... I was feeling a little bit sorry for you at first, but I kinda wish you would have gotten busted now. That's pretty arrogant of you to post that last one Alex68. Enjoy your high-paying RN job. But now every day you go to work you just have ...

6. I m in big trouble! I think I failed my drug screen

   JeeperN replied to alex68's topic in General Nursing

   I also stay away from illegal substances. Honestly, there are athletic performance-enhancing Rx's that I'd use before pot but I know I could get in huge trouble legally for that and lose my ability to make an income. However, I think if I were you ...

8. ICU Q's

   JeeperN replied to JeeperN's topic in SRNA

   I'm interested in schools on the east coast, preferably not cold places though (like not NY). I'd also be interested in TX... I hear Baylor is a cool school. I would consider something on the west coast but it wouldn't be my first choice. I actual...

10. ICU Q's

    JeeperN replied to JeeperN's topic in SRNA

    Thanks for the reply. I was just hoping to kill 2 birds with 1 stone... get my ICU experience for CRNA program, and get a nice little break from school and see the nation a bit.

12. Haiti nursing experience

    JeeperN replied to oncnursemsn's topic in General Nursing

    Flowers, that's the same mission I was involved with. I am considering going late April for a surgery team trip. It's great to know we probably met many of the same people. Are you planning on going back anytime?

13. Haiti nursing experience

    JeeperN replied to oncnursemsn's topic in General Nursing

    I spent 3 months in Haiti on the north coast (relatively small town) before nursing school in 2001. I was out visiting people in town on 9/11 and came back to the mission to hear over BBC radio about the terrorist attacks. On my way out of the coun...

14. Questions to ask hospitals???

    JeeperN replied to carebearRN's topic in Travel

    I am a new RN with just under 1yr experience considering travel nursing... I am young and want adventures. Can I expect to get shift differentials from the staffing company for working nights/weekends? Or is it just straight pay? Also, thanks so...
