    chloecatrn replied to JonB04's topic in General Nursing

    They would, if they were fiscally responsible, need a 20% down payment. 600,000 X .20 = $120,000 down payment. Secondly, an NYC RN probably doesn't make what an upstate NY RN makes, and a rural CA...

    chloecatrn replied to Nursing12345's topic in General Nursing

  4. RN licensure question

    chloecatrn replied to Nursing12345's topic in General Nursing

    Florida and California are not compact states. This just means that you'll get a Florida license if you take NCLEX in Florida, and then you'll have to apply for a California license by endorsement...

  6. What do you think is more efficient to have written on Medic Alert ID?

    chloecatrn replied to happy2learn's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a bracelet where there would be an 1-800 service available for HCPs to call for clarity? If it is, I'd put "multiple antibiotic allergies" with the 1-800 number for them to call to get...

    chloecatrn replied to Stargazedaisy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Look. You got a million answers the LAST time you posted this and no one did your work for you. This time, I'm annoyed, so I found ONE program that doesn't require your RN before you start, allows...

    chloecatrn replied to sh1901's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't wait in this job market. I was ACLS certified the whole way through nursing school, and I'm convinced it looked great on my resume and helped me get a lot of interviews in places that new...

  11. Last birthday

    chloecatrn replied to nessajune21's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have your favorite recipes from her? If not, a recipe box with blank recipe cards so that she could record the family recipes would be a thought. Does she have grandchildren who are old...

  12. Out of control resident!!!!!!

    chloecatrn replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    Could he be lonely? Could he just enjoy the peace of mind that having a call bell going off all the time buys him? Eventually, someone walks in his room because they're fed up with the call bell...

  13. Blood Sugar Coverage...Did I do the right thing?

    chloecatrn replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    Eh. Could be worse than 2 units of R for 150. That being said, it still doesn't change my original answer. I almost always, unless there's some underlying reason why NOT to, give the Lantus and...

  14. Blood Sugar Coverage...Did I do the right thing?

    chloecatrn replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    First off, your order should have had hold parameters. I would broach this with your management staff. Secondly, the action is typically to hold your Regular or Log coverage and give the Lantus or...

  15. Question about perfume/cologne

    chloecatrn replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    chloecatrn replied to Flipper911's topic in General Nursing

    Interns, residents: first names. Most attendings are Dr. So and so. There are a few that ask to be called by their first name, or who are the same age as I am, or who I have helped raise from...

  17. mistake - unable to fix

    chloecatrn replied to lovingRN2009's topic in General Nursing

    Far worse things have happened. You realize that you made a mistake. You feel badly, which is a good thing -- you're not taking it lightly. Apologize, take your lumps, take the lesson that you've...

  18. Think I have to resign...

    chloecatrn replied to belfry's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree that OP should be entitled to a different pay scale, I would strongly suggest NOT quitting until there's another job on the horizon. If you're willing to fight over X.00 per hour, can...

  19. Verbal Orders - MD to RN to RN without Chart

    chloecatrn replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Nursing

    RN taking order gets blank order sheet. Stamps with patient order info. Transcribes order. Performs readback. Carries out order. I HATE carrying out verbals that someone else has taken. If RN #1...

  20. nursing endorsement, when does it start and when does it end?

    chloecatrn replied to fuyuojo's topic in General Nursing

    chloecatrn replied to itsmypassion's topic in Nursing Career

    Some of our medic friends might be able to speak to that, but in case no one here can answer your question, try a couple of these forums: http://community.ems1.com/forum/ http://www.emtlife.com/...

  23. Do you get Job as an RN on H1 Visa

    chloecatrn replied to priya945's topic in International Nursing
