  1. Informatics?

    pie123 posted a topic in Nursing Informatics

    My hospital recently went live with EHR (Electronic Health Records). During that time, in order to get a break from bedside, I volunteered to be a superuser for the system. A superuser helps MD's and...

  3. Not wanting to take antidepressants

    pie123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Since getting hired on my current unit (I have been a nurse for 6 months) I have slowly felt myself go down the tubes. At first it started with anxiety, then gradually developed into irritability, not...

  4. Dealing with moody people

    pie123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad who has been orienting with a nurse who is quite moody. She gets upset with her co-workers, but doesn't say anything to them. Instead, she reacts by either being bossy with me, or by...

  5. New Pacu Nurse

    pie123 replied to WYRN1's topic in PACU

    I agree about the Mega Codes. I cannot understand why this doesn't happen more often. Even in a critical care area. Everyone says a code is a team effort, but what if you're in CT scan, and it's just...

  6. Las Vegas - NOT new-grad friendly

    pie123 replied to NVRN2008's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Also check out http://www.chwjobsnow.com. I just went there and there are 4 full-time positions at the Rose DeLima campus for Intermediate Care (IMC) alone. They are all nightshift, but when I worked...

  7. Las Vegas - NOT new-grad friendly

    pie123 replied to NVRN2008's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Check out the St. Rose websites. Between the 3 campuses, I would think they've got to have jobs posted. Go to http://www.strosecares.com, then click on careers. My preference is the Rose DeLima...

  8. Finding a NAP position in Vegas?

    pie123 replied to SeattleKid09's topic in Nevada Nursing

    St. Rose DeLima Intermediate Care (IMC) unit hires NAPs. Call the DeLima main number and ask for the manager of ICU/IMC. She is wonderful. Also, from what I remember, Med. Surg at DeLima hires

  9. Anyone here from critical care?

    pie123 replied to heygurlhey's topic in Home Health

    What a coincidence. I too am looking to leave ICU. I'm tired of direct-care period, for probably the same reasons as you. It's just getting crazy. I too am thinking of home health. I've been a nurse...

  10. Got a needlestick

    pie123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got a needlestick after giving insulin to a patient yesterday. I did the protocol and went to our ER, had blood drawn, etc., as did the 'source patient'. I followed up today with the employee health...

  11. Nursing at University Medical Center

    pie123 replied to hnp5's topic in Nevada Nursing

    They are all nice facilities. DeLima is older, but still looks decent. Siena and San Martin are more aesthetically pleasing, but both are newer. They are easy to find, just Google

  12. Nursing at University Medical Center

    pie123 replied to hnp5's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I was there for a bit, on IMC. I chose not to stick around either. I think like you, I kept comparing it to St. Rose. BUT, I have to say that the dayshift and nightshift charge nurses on IMC circle...

    pie123 replied to travelcrazyRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Have you tried going straight to management? When I graduated, I found that was the best

  14. no one will hire me in Las Vegas--what's the deal???

    pie123 replied to travelcrazyRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I work at St. Rose and I haven't heard anything about another heart program opening. I know that St. Rose is hard to get into for ICU, with no ICU experience. What about Spring Valley? From what I...

  15. I can't do it all

    pie123 replied to nursecrk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you stay, you're probably headed for major burnout. You seem as though you're a good nurse. This is far too much for one person. Sounds like a very unsafe facility: for you and the

  19. Did You Change Careers And Regret It?

    pie123 replied to alliestar's topic in General Nursing

    Clinical rotations certainly do not. I worked as a student nurse on a Medical Surgical unit for almost 2 years. I would care for 3-4 patients, under the supervision of an RN. At the time I thought it...

  20. You can help me when you have time

    pie123 replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I dealt with something just the opposite at my new job. I was carrying linens, etc. into a patient's room. The CNA stops me and says, (with attitude), "You don't need to take that in there, I already...

  22. When do you know it's time to move on?

    pie123 replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    So true! I left my unit and went per diem on another step-down unit. While my previous unit had its problems, things were set up at least so that it could run somewhat effeciently. Plus, on most days,...

  23. Looking for a new hospital

    pie123 posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm interested in Sunrise hospital, specifically their ICU's, with the exception of their Pulmonary and Neuro ICU's. I'm at St. Rose right now, in ICU, and I'm not really into it, so to speak. My...
