Sounds professional, but caring. Smile when you talk. They'll probably ask you some triage questions...

Intellicare also has nurses doing disease management from home. They will be hiring soon, if not now for the disease side of their business. You may have to go into one of their office sites for training.

I worked for Kaiser for 13 years, both in their hospitals and clinics. Best jobs I ever had. It's been 8 years ago, so I don't know how they are now. I left because I relocated and there were no Kaisers here. The nurses tend to stay a long time usua...

I do telephone triage from home. But starting next month, I'll switch to disease management, still from home, just a different division of the same company. Look under the telephone triager section board here. I posted lots about my job there.

It helped me to be an LPN first. I was totally comfortable with giving patient care, totally at home in a hospital setting. I was familiar with drugs, and medical procedures. How could that not help? My instructors knew it too. I didn't walk into pat...

I'll be relocating soon. I won't get any help with any relocation fees because I work for a company that has us work from home. So I can take my job with me. My salary stays the same no matter where I chose to resettle. But it's worth it to me to kee...

MLK has a rep for sure. Their trauma dept handles lots of gunshots and stabbing wounds. Very very rough.

Here's a link that where yo can punch in your salary for where you live and then compare it to where you want to move. http://houseandhome.msn.com/pickaplace/comparecities.aspx?FS=WY&selFS=WY&selTS=NV&selFC=0&selTC=2&PFC=St.%20Lo...

Ideally, your preceptor should be helping you and directing you to making decisions on your own. You should be talking over any certain situation and discuss it in a way that involves a decision making process based on the factors at hand. I feel I'...

I don't think I would drive that far. Just depends on the job: Is it really that great? Will you gain some really wonderful skills in an area of nursing that may lead you to the smae type job one day closer to home? Then maybe. It's alot of time out ...

I do have some work that would fall under "take home" but I'm sure it's not on the level of what teachers do. I have to take classes for my CEU's to keep my licenses up. Those are done online. But I do get paid for time I put in on them. Also, becaus...

AS GB syndrome: In 1976, vaccination with the swine flu vaccine was associated with getting GBS. Several studies have been done to evaluate if other flu vaccines since 1976 were associated with GBS. Only one of the studies showed an association. Tha...

Yes, thimerosal free flu vaccines are available. "Today, with the exception of some influenza vaccine, none of the vaccines used to protect preschool children against 12 infectious diseases contain thimerosal as a preservative."

The CDC and the WHO formulates the flu vaccine every year, targeting the 3 main strains that they think will be the most prevelant that year. They have a success rate of >90% in this. The flu vaccine will not shorten the course of the flu if you g...

I usually get a flu shot. This year it might be awhile before the vaccines are readily available. They had problems with contamination this year, I think almost half the vaccines were taken back. So..............since I work from home, no longer in a...

No, but there is an exception. If a coworker was in a tight spot and needed someone to take her hours, I might do it, but only as a favor for that person. Otherwise, no.

I was laid off in a clinic setting: Yhey replaced as many RN's with LPNs as they could. It turned out to be the best thing for me. Found another job 2 months later, paid 10,000 more a year, more benefits, gave me different ( and better) skills, and w...

I have a memory box too! It's filled with cards and notes. I've received lots of little nursing statue type things, hand made potholders and the towels that hang from the stove or frig handle. Lots of little things. Candles, lotions, candy and fruit....

I support a woman's right to choose. I don't like to see abortions used as a form of birth control. However, it's her decision. If she asked for your opinion, I'd say fine. If she didn't, I'm not sure it's your business.

I would eat a full meal on nights, maybe around 1-2am, depending on how busy we were. However, I lost weight on nights. not from lack of eating, but because of lack of sleep, I think. I'm 5'8" and I think I got below 120lbs. I had to quit nights. My...

I did a bridge program. Everyone knew I was an LPN I think. No problems whatsoever. I took some ribbing, just because everyone wanted to know why I waited so long.

I worked with a super nurse. I admired her depth of knowledge. However, she was not a pleasant person to be around. She knew she was smart, and made sure everyone else knew it too. And she let others know they weren't as smart either.

Only 1 nurse stands out in my memory, and she was Chinese. very nice lady, but her English was not up to par. I could understand her, but thought she had a problem understanding us. Errors were made by her frequently. Other than that, most of the for...

A good unit clerk is worth her weight in gold, IMHO. I remember one extremely busy floor I worked on. The unit clerk there practically ran that unit. She kept everything organized that was within her domain. And it was good. You never had to check u...
