    dance4life replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    dance4life posted a topic in Cardiac

    I am a traveler in the Cath Lab. I open up the Ambulatory at the end of my shift, which is pretty much the Admission part before they go for their procedure. I was told when I came in the next...

  4. First job on a cardiac unit

    dance4life replied to S22006's topic in Cardiac

    I agree with learning to read your own strips. You get spoiled and forget when you don't do it. You can find a EKG class so you can become familiar with them. I take one at least every two years,...

  6. Bad Evaluation?

    dance4life replied to gerry79's topic in Travel

    I would just like to say that they just send me SPAM emails. How anyone gets work here, beats the hell out of me. Lastly, you can see a bad response from a nurse on Google. Just a FYI. When I asked...

  11. salarys and more....

    dance4life replied to dorie43rn's topic in Travel

  12. Really New York Presbyterian Really?

    dance4life replied to All4NursingRN's topic in New York Nursing

    With the lay offs they just did before the holidays you are competing with the experienced nurses and New Grad surplus. I am the same way you are, "Oh well their loss". I get from places call me back...

  13. Net Income - Living Expenses = ???

    dance4life replied to milli00's topic in New York Nursing

    dance4life replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    dance4life replied to Moecato's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    dance4life replied to gerry79's topic in Travel

  18. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    dance4life replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    dance4life replied to oscarfarnacio's topic in New York Nursing

    It is only if the state is not on Nursys, that you need to send the form. For example, CT is not on the Nursys site. The person who answers the phone is very nice. You can also do the Child Abuse and...
