  1. RN experience prior to ER triage?

    EmergencyNrse replied to RNBelle's topic in Emergency

    A good facility will require you to have some experience plus have a preceptor program to ease you into the role. That being said I know of MANY hospitals that throw the new grads out front with no...

  4. Going to LA-Am I getting scammed?

    EmergencyNrse replied to sonnyluv's topic in Travel

    Travel to LA should be @ least 600.00/rt 30.00/hr (base not blended) should be average. If you're new to Cali pay rates Blended means you're expected to be paid time & half after 8hrs. during...

  6. RV's anyone???

    EmergencyNrse replied to RNERHOUSESUPOR's topic in Travel

    Just bought my 1st Class A. I don't think I put as much research into it as I needed to. After tax, tag, title now what do I do with it? I'm told they can't be parked on the street. Here in San Diego...

  7. Information regarding travel nursing.

    EmergencyNrse replied to allstarnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're way ahead of yourself. The appeal to travel is seemingly awesome but I don't recommend jumping right into it. A year... two??? There is really no saying who is ready for travel and who...

    EmergencyNrse replied to Lurksalot's topic in Emergency

    Welcome to OUR world. Relax, be patient. It will come to you. Learning is always an ongoing process but expect several months before you find your "comfort zone". Stay motivated even after the tough...

  9. Are you having a hard time finding travel jobs?

    EmergencyNrse replied to aakrn's topic in Travel

    It seems like it's either feast or famine! I have had more offers this week than I have had in the entire past year. My current assignment can't get done fast enough for me to pick another. Best of...

  10. 3 days a week vs 5 days a week

    EmergencyNrse replied to bcyogi's topic in General Nursing

    Give me 12's. 3 days and out. Soooo much more time for yourself. 8-hr shift is just too short a day. You're dressed up for the party, what's another 4 hrs? For 2 extra days off??? Hell, give me 2...

  11. Titers

    EmergencyNrse replied to spejsa's topic in Travel

    Wow, I wonder what ICD-9 codes they used to get them covered. There is almost no medical necessity for drawing the titers. Good for you. Awesome. I think my lab bill totaled over $350.00 for the tests...

  13. Over confident colleague

    EmergencyNrse replied to SNurselewlew's topic in General Nursing

    I know the type person you're describing and I hate them as well. These people would have you believe they have a trophy in EVERYTHING. They talk and talk and talk... detracting from the subject...

  14. help!

    EmergencyNrse replied to DeLynn's topic in Travel

    Be honest. Tell them your concerns. Unless you have signed the contract and actually traveled I say you have no obligation. They're not meeting your expectations for the assignment....walk away. You...

  15. If an ER patient is Not Sick, are we still supposed to treat?

    EmergencyNrse replied to ernoc333's topic in Emergency

    It doesn't need to be just the "frequent fliers". Patients of all kinds without "emergent" conditions begin the "QMP" process- medication refills, pregnancy tests, chronic pain issues: (neck, back,...

  16. Over Confident GN's

    EmergencyNrse replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! In my opinion... tactfulness ends where patient safety is compromised. If she can't be trusted to do the right thing pull her off the floor. Period. It needs to be explained to her that no one...

  18. Titers

    EmergencyNrse replied to spejsa's topic in Travel

    Shot record is the best way to go. Titers are expensive. If the company requires titers to show immunity then ask them to pay for them. Where to go you ask? You can set it up with any Family Practice...

  19. Resume Help

    EmergencyNrse replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    Struggling to fit information on only one page? If you are a new graduate then you should have about a half a page. You are either embellishing too much or providing irrelevant information. I would...

  25. Paramedic vs. RN

    EmergencyNrse replied to merrywhiterose's topic in General Nursing

    Not true. The comparison is apples and oranges. Major differences here between pre-hospital and clinical work. The Paramedic education is not equivalent to a nursing program. In some states Medics can...
