You are at work now? I have not heard of a correctional facility that allows electronic gadgets or email. Big security risk, at least, they think so in New York State.

I have never heard of an A.A.S. or B.S.N. that did not require Chemistry. Do I write out chemical equations, etc at work? No but it definitely helps me understand certain aspects of nursing a little everyday. If you really think about it during your ...

You should not update family members on the phone if your hospital has a proper policy in order. Only those people with a pin number given to them by their family member is allowed to call or inquire in person about the patient at my hospital. This r...

Hi, I am considering moving from the Finger Lakes area in Western New York to Ft. Myers. One of the reasons I would like to move..it was in the 50's tonight and it is the middle of June. Also, I absolutely love Sanibel Island. I would love to live th...

I hate, hate this too! How do they consider this safe for patient care? I am looking for a new job because this just happened to my floor. I didn't get hired to work in the float pool. They get a lot more money than floor nurses. Good luck.

This is seasonal that I was offered which is different than traveler. I was told the same, no travelers unless they did not get any seasonal nurses. Seasonals are hired directly by the hospital, work 6 months, 1 day and are required to contract to 2 ...

I have spoken to Lee Memorial about their seasonal nursing positions. They will give $1000.00 toward housing and pay health benefits for 2 FULL years if you commit to 2 seasonal employments of 6 months, 1 day. Has anyone had experience doing this? F...

Wow. You are describing a city that I don't know! I have lived in the Upper West Side of Manhattan for 3 years now. The streets are not filthy, crime is not rampant and people are friendly! I am a bit shocked by your opinion...but of course, everyone...

It just came to me...are you thinking about Tompkins Community Hospital located in Ithaca, NY? The post I was responding to was about Thompson Hospital in Canandaigua, NY!:)

Yes, I did mean govenor instead of mayor. Please forgive my slip. I recently moved back to the Rochester, NY area from Manhattan where I lived for 3 years in the Upper West Side. I have visited Ithaca but have never lived there. I couldn't find wher...

Yes, Thompson Hospital is still here and greatly expanded! It has received large donations from Golisano (local billionaire who has run for mayor of New York State, twice I believe) and from Sands (deceased owner of the Canadaigua Wine Company (Const...

In Rochester, NY, I was just offered as a recent GN $18.50/hr plus shift diff's and a sign-on bonus of $7,500 (paid over 1-year) with a 2-year commitment.

Perfectly said! Absolutely agree!

OMG! That makes me so sad! They could have stood guard and shot it if they saw it trying to escape but..... We have taken away so much of their natural habitat. We don't have bear problems here but we do have a deer problem because of this. Many acci...

I grew up in the Finger Lakes area and have visited Ithaca many times. I can answer only a few of questions though. Ithaca is Gorges! (Not a misspelling, this is their motto-lots of waterfalls, gorges, deep ravines, rolling hills, etc.) It is located...

Anyone reading this, believe me when I say I know, I know, I need to detach myself emotionally. But understand at this stage in my new career, I prefer focusing (and have been until the past two days) on SAVING lives. Focusing on helping patients to ...

it is such a small world. i grew up in western new york (i live in manhattan now, upstate new york is considered to be up to the albany area here!) in the finger lakes area in the town of waterloo-"birthplace of memorial day"-located between seneca a...

One of my scariest moments happened because we had 2 GSW patients admitted to our floor about 2 hours apart. Little did we know they were two rival gang members. When the visitors arrived on the floor for each patient, a full scale altercation happen...
