  4. Break Room Ideas

    LocaW8ta replied to kms6417's topic in General Nursing

    Our facilities department was so fed up with a fridge full of crap that they seriously put their foot down. So every Sunday night, they throw EVERYTHING away in the fridge. They don't care what it is...

    LocaW8ta replied to ssoxford's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  9. Nursing student theft

    LocaW8ta replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like the school has enough on her without having to drag you into it. I say let them figure it out. You probably have bigger fish to fry anyway. This student seems to be hanging herself...

    LocaW8ta replied to Deetail's topic in Research

    So sorry I didn't respond earlier! Yikes! We have about a dozen nurses. And also MA's who work as Research Technician's. We have both inpatient and outpatient studies at our facility. So I get to do...

  12. Fired from my first nursing job, before one year

    LocaW8ta replied to mightynurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest- this original post seemed so over the top that I was starting to think that it was fake. My advice is to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, engage in a lot of reflection, have a nice...

  16. Moving from ICU to research?

    LocaW8ta replied to Deetail's topic in Research

    Phase I research is a completely different species of nursing compared to ICU. Phase I subjects are healthy, ICU patients are ill. Research is unique and not for everyone, particularly if you don't...

  18. What is your Holiday pay like??

    LocaW8ta replied to ricksy's topic in General Nursing

    We are closed on all major holidays but in the rare event that we would have to work, we get double pay. We get major holidays off paid. I think it's 6 paid

  19. No nursing shortage: roll call!

    LocaW8ta replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    20?? That used to be my daily average when I was looking for work! It sounds like the job pool where you are is really small. It's frustrating regardless though! Don't give up! I snagged a job in a...

    I work in research where we can't wear them. I love that I don't have to worry about it.

  24. Creating CRFs from scratch

    LocaW8ta replied to flyingchange's topic in Research

    When doing CRF's, I don't like having to go on a scavenger hunt through the chart for the pertinent info. For example when information on page 10 of the chart is referred back to several times by the...
