Thank you for the response. I am hoping for more than one example but the one provided is great.

Can anyone tell me about units doing 32hours/week? Particularly interested in what the rotation is like, particularly for 8 hour shifts 7 day a week 24/7.

I think you and only you can answer the is it enough question. You know what you need to live on. Also how long is the fellowship and can you expect to get a jump and much higher wage either there or elsewhere after you are done.

Sounds like it is time to be proactive get with an attorney, check the laws of your state reguarding the recording of conversations in some states only one party in the conversation has to be in agreement or know about the recording...if this is the law in your state that would mean you would need to be in agreement to being recorded but I would really check this out before doing it but by all means it is time to lawyer up.

Thank you all looks like radiology is winning and I like the DM ed. suggestion. Also Keep' um comming. thanks again

I understand there will be required hours in required settings but if you had to do it all over what extras would you do? Radiology?, ER? what?

Find all policy on pto and make a copy of it to refer to if needed. Otherwise give the expected notice and a good address to send your final checks and tax info to.

Striker talks a good game to get the sale, once it's done they will be done with you. Hill-Rom will stand behind their product and be with you for the long term

If you are a ER nurse your gonna love Parkland.

I moved from Dallas some years back due to ageing parents. I worked in the ED at Parkland hospital and I do love Dallas. If you cannot find a job in Dallas, no matter what field you are in, you do not deserve one. Dallas is a great city and it is booming.

Check with the governing agency over EMS in your state in Texas it is the Dept. of Health. there is a medical director over the EMS area of the health department and each service/ area has their own medical controll,(MD/DO). As far as what you can do in the hospital that will depend on the hospital and your level of training as far as what you can do outside of the hospital I would check with your states board of nursing, you may want to look into becoming an EMT or paramedic in addition to your RN license.if you are wanting to function outside of the hospital setting. I was a flight nurse for many years and maintained paramedic status as well as being an RN. Hope this helps.

I agree mine are in the folder and posted on the CV; but not on my work ID, there is not enough space on the badge. Just name, RN, BSN

After many years in large trauma center it is my thought that all spitters are hypoxic and need oxygen del. by mask.
