  1. MD's vs. RN's: Your Thoughts?

    movealong replied to steve0123's topic in California Nursing

    I was very surprised at some of what was posted there. I've got no beef with student doctors, even when I worked in a teaching hospital. I've usually had a pretty good relationship with most of the...

  2. nurses are fortunate

    movealong replied to angel337's topic in General Nursing

    I was laid off once from a clinic: they decided they had too many RNs and I could be replaced by an LPN. It all turned out for the best. It was a horrible job with the worst set of coworkers I have...

  3. Drug Testing

    movealong replied to shel_wny's topic in General Nursing

    I was tested for drugs at my last job. It was the first time I had ever been tested. I wasn't crazy about being tested, just on principle. But I went ahead with it. I worked for a pharmacy benefit...

  5. Religion's Place in Nursing

    movealong replied to CHIRN's topic in General Nursing

    You can quote the bible to support almost anything and any view, so I turn off those that quote it to try to bolster their views. Even Ophrah says so! LOL. My personal opinion is that if you are...

  8. question of work

    movealong replied to cue93's topic in Telephone Triage

    The regualtions vary from state to state, I believe. California requires anyone talking to patients in that state to hold a valid Ca. nursing license. I think their may be a couple other states with...

  10. Need advice on memo to all nursing staff that contains threat

    movealong replied to ms40's topic in General Nursing

    Signing MAR's is basic stuff, very basic. I don't think it's unreasonable to want this to be done. I've been out of hospitals for 6 years now, has it changed that much? Presigning? What the heck is...

    movealong replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    I lived in San Diego for 13 years and loved it. I stayed in the Ocean beach area, which is the cheapest out of the 4 main beaches: Ocean beach, Mission Beach and Pacific Beach and La Jolla. When you...

  12. stethoscopes

    movealong replied to jam0601's topic in General Nursing

    I used a Littman cardiology II scope and loved it. It sits in a drawer now since I don't do floor nursing anymore, but I hang onto it just in case. It was a present from a doctor I used to work for,...

  15. Is anyone else leery of posting?

    movealong replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    I think about it a little. I don't identify myself by state, and don't post in my state's forum. But anyone searching back through my posts probably does know who I am. I haven't written anything very...

  16. Havoc forecast if San Pablo California hospital shuts down

    movealong replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I respect your opinion. I would rather see issues talked over as well. In the one instance I was involved with, the hospital company refused to come to the table to bargin. If memory serves me...

    movealong replied to Sammie's topic in Telephone Triage

    Hi moondancer. Yes, I do work from home. It's wonderful for me. But I do live near a call center. Not everyone does though. I'm not exactly sure on their official policy on this point. I've been...

    movealong replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the majority, don't send the letter. Keep a detailed list of the date, time and specifics of each incident and report to HR. Keep a copy for your own records and note when and to who it...

  19. Havoc forecast if San Pablo California hospital shuts down

    movealong replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I consider myself a patient advocate, but I would strike depending on the circumstances. To try to strike for better working conditions, better patient care ratios directly benefit the patients....

    Yikes, lots of questions, and I don't know the answers to everything. I've been with them for about 11 months.... Not sure how many calls we get a month. I am sure winter months have lots more calls...

  24. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    movealong replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    My biggest pet peeve used to be doctors who "punt". You page the medical md oncall, who says to call the surgeon. You call the surgeon oncall, he says to call the medical md. I just want someone to...

  25. Where have all the calls gone?

    movealong replied to Audreyfay's topic in Telephone Triage

    We slowed a little after the flu season calmed down. But we still get plenty of incomings. I know after the first of the year some people change insurances, so maybe that's why you have slowed
