    shah replied to TeleNurse2010's topic in Texas Nursing

    I see new grads complaining about not getting L&D, NICU and ER. That is about the normal state of affairs, not a downturn. Any new grad is lucky to get into Med-Surg and learn nursing first. That...

  4. Job Offer. Should I take it????????????

    shah replied to gerry79's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would jump at that offer. $30/hr would go a long way in Texas. No state or city tax. Arlington is one of the best places to live in Texas. I have no idea what the hospital is like. Bonuses are...

    shah replied to jimbalaya's topic in Texas Nursing

    shah replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    People who oppose healthcare reform do not care about the American in the street. They are representing vested interest. Rush Limbaugh does not have to worry about health care. He is made. Ask joe...

  10. LVN Hospital Jobs

    shah replied to jimbalaya's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hospitals do hire LVN's, most of them just don't advertise this. They perhaps want to give an impression that they are an 'all RN' hospital. You will probably have to network to get the job. Beware,...

  12. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    shah replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    Privately funded healthcare is all right, as long as you are healthy and have a job. The moment you fall ill, your insurance maxes out. Next thing you know you can't work, you loose your job, you...

  13. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    shah replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    It appalls me to see that people who have never traveled out of the US think that this is the best system. I think Americans are being screwed by their system and proud of it. They need to look around...

  14. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    shah replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I know is that right now Americans are 'healthcare slaves.' If I did not have to buy healthcare from my employer, I would travel and make more money. I know so many people who are stuck...

  16. Blowing IV's - what am I doing wrong?

    shah replied to mommybess's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Watch out for valves. They feel like tiny knots. Try and go either above them or at least inch and half below. Those can be tricky. Sometimes if you time it right, the catheter can go through the...

  17. Here's my lame career path...any chance I could do triage?

    shah replied to turncoughdeepbreathe's topic in Telephone Triage

    First of all, you need to stop thinking you are lame. When you start valuing your experience, you will feel good about yourself. Nothing you do is lame. Hospital nursing is for a certain kind of...

  18. How many couplets are you responsible for?

    shah replied to zoo*moon's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our managers told us babies don't count. You have only 4 patients. But babies do count, surely when they go bad on you. Some hospitals in town give you 6 couplets with mom/baby blood draws and taking...

    shah replied to zoo*moon's topic in Ob/Gyn

  21. Tired of EMS thinking they can walk in!

    shah replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    I think in Texas you cannot become a flight nurse unless you have been a paramedic. Folks, if you cannot give respect to those working alongside of you, do not ever complain about the docs being mean...

  22. Tired of EMS thinking they can walk in!

    shah replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency
