  1. I don't trust/talk to my supervisor at all

    EmergencyNrse replied to hardware syndrome's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get this idea of "snitch". Seems to me that if you're doing what you're suppose to there would be no conflict. What you're really saying is that your boss/ supervisor is doing what they are...

  2. Air Transport

    EmergencyNrse replied to jnick31's topic in General Nursing

    Fixed-Wing or Rotary Aircraft? Both? Most companies that hire require you to have RN and Paramedic licenses to work. There is also a flight physical so you have to meet certain health requirements....

  3. A Nurse Who Knows Nothing

    EmergencyNrse replied to julaybeeba20's topic in General Nursing

    Relax, It will take some time to find your comfort zone. Ask questions... no one knows it all and the people that get into trouble are the ones that think they know more than they do. Those are the...

  4. What to bring? And how do you get it there?

    EmergencyNrse replied to LadyTiger44's topic in Travel

    I forgot a vacuum. Unless you have maid service you'll notice things getting icky after about a week. 1 word- Craigslist. Get a capable vacuum for about $10.00-25.00 (Sell it back on Craigslist when...

  5. What to bring? And how do you get it there?

    EmergencyNrse replied to LadyTiger44's topic in Travel

    What you need depends on what your company is providing. Linen, Cookware, Flatware, TV? My 1st assignment I "needed" a shower curtain... funny. Made a God-awful mess until I got one. (It's the little...

  6. Travel Buddy

    EmergencyNrse replied to Saywhat!?'s topic in Travel

    I'm headed back to Cali in January. Sacramento is my first choice. Next would be Bay Area. A few spots in the LA area. Toying with the idea of returning to San Diego (aka Paradise). More $$$ in Bay...

  7. Thoughts on entering travelling nursing for $$$$$

    EmergencyNrse replied to Starkyss's topic in Travel

    Poker isn't a good strategy. The odds are against you. Traveling is a way to make money if you can be flexible. There is a lot of uncertainty with respect to availability of jobs. 150k is a HUGE...

  8. new to travel

    EmergencyNrse replied to dia.1720's topic in Travel

    Your first 2 mistakes as a newbie: 1) You're working for AMN which means you're getting hosed on wages 2) You took a contract with Kaiser. Not the friendliest place for travelers. They take care...

  9. ENA position on treatment of family members?

    EmergencyNrse replied to HouTx's topic in Emergency

    Who cares about the ENA? They're a political organization

  10. ER Personalities

    EmergencyNrse replied to RN1298's topic in Emergency

    Personality traits? ER = A.D.D ICU = O.C.D. If you really have to do things meticulously stay away... we'll eat you up. If you can ignore the small stuff you'll fit right in. Critical thinking with...

  11. *Easy* things I just hate doing

    EmergencyNrse replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Nursing

    Restocking

  12. Qoute "If you quit, I will report you to the state B.O.N.!!!!!!"

    EmergencyNrse replied to bobs201's topic in General Nursing

    The last shift I pulled there would be my LAST shift there. Report you to the Board? For what? Any impropriety? Negligence? Write a separation letter that you are leaving. Be professional. Keep a...

  13. Is that even legal?

    EmergencyNrse replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    All joking aside. It IS a form of discrimination. Discrimination I agree with... The employer is just asking for a photo so there is no discrimination implied but you know damn well they are and it's...

  14. Can a hospital legally force you to get your bsn if you are an adn

    EmergencyNrse replied to lv2brn's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a legal question. It's about standards. If a hospital requires all of their employees to be at a BSN standard then so be it. You have no "right" to a job. No "right" for employment. An...

  15. Developing Robots for the ER: What Do You Think?

    EmergencyNrse replied to KaringOne's topic in Emergency

    The article is about robot assistants not replacing nurses. I for one would prefer a robot actually dedicated to a task rather than seeing the do-nothing techs for hire sit around and complain about...

  16. Travel assignment in Santa Clara - Kaiser

    EmergencyNrse replied to maverik09's topic in Travel

    It's a brand new facility. Modern. Clean. I helped them move patients from the old facility back in '07 with AMR. It's still working with Kaiser. They aren't the best in the way they treat travelers....

  17. New RN needs advice

    EmergencyNrse replied to car2614's topic in General Nursing

    I think that if you wanted to be in a different part of the facility then you should have applied for the other positions. You JUST landed the full time gig @ the SNF... So you got your foot in the...

  18. MILITARY NURSE VS CIVILIAN NURSE ... who will get the job?

    EmergencyNrse replied to cookie91's topic in General Nursing

    Too many unknown factors just to say military vs. civilian. Each realm has their strengths & weaknesses. My experience is that I have worked with lowsy Army nurses and certainly some lowsy...

  19. I'm lost, help...

    EmergencyNrse replied to purple10's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that no one has touched on it but you just might need to relocate... A change in latitude if you will. Move to a place that's hiring nurses. If you just can't seem to leave for whatever...

  20. What is your Kryptonite?

    EmergencyNrse replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    Yep! Mine hasn't changed. OB/GYN I don't do well with women and their

  21. ER RN vs EMS

    EmergencyNrse replied to dreso1021's topic in Emergency

    There should be no problem transitioning into the ER. I believe medics have a much easier time working in emergency medicine due to training & background. Critical decision making is what you...

  22. Patients that are not allowed narcotics

    EmergencyNrse replied to Jo West's topic in Emergency

    Seekers are out there. It will not change anything in the way I treat them. I administer what the doctor orders, reassess and document appropriately. The medication isn't up to

  23. Advantage RN

    EmergencyNrse replied to flnursemichelle's topic in Travel

    So your question is about AMN or Advantage

  24. Travel nurse buddy?

    EmergencyNrse replied to PedsNurseLA's topic in Travel

    ... way to resurrect a 3-month old

  25. how to "know" where you're going

    EmergencyNrse replied to angelstrings's topic in Travel

    Doesn't work that way. You affiliate with travel agencies. I recommend @ least 4 DIFFERENT companies. (Some companies have the same parent corporation) Once you're credentials are in place and you're...
