I think most of us have been through what you are talking about. The ones that don't know what we are talking about might well be the seat warmers we refer to. I am a traveller now, but when I was working at a hospital, we had a nurse who would si...

Hmmm that sounds suspicious to me -- Maybe the nurses should start teaching classes on Basic physician training and let the grads call themselves Doctor!! Would that not cause a problem or what??!! :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire How irritating...

Those are all very good things then. I would consult your physician and see if she/he has any suggestions. For now you could try a warm compress and tylenol (as long as you are not allergic to Tylenol) to relieve some of the pain. I hope the pa...

Congrats! Well I don't know what to tell you. Is there anything that makes it better or worse? Is the baby moving? Any HX of gallbladder? If it is really bothersome I would consult your doctor, like a phone diagnosis it is pretty hard to tell w...

Never heard of this either, but I am not sure I like the sound of it. Who wants a mom knocked out? That does not sound like a great experience to me. Patient controlled epidural is the best thing I have used.

Hi I would recommend A&A nursing. They are local to California and are really personable and reliable to work for. I only work for them in California:)

I just had to write and thank A&A nursing for all their care and concern for my family and myself. I am new to travel and A&A has been there every step of the way. They picked me up from the airport, had a welcome to California BBQ for me, ...

You did the right thing! I am sure they are going to be sorry to have lost a dedicated and knowledgeable RN who knew the ropes in their facility. I just do not understand the concept of bottom line as compared to pt safety, it blows my mind. Goo...

Could tell us the name of the socks and where in Canada you purchased them? I am in Ontario too! Heading back out on assignment soon though. Thanks:)

Wow I am quite shocked that I never gave it that much tought. I always had a sign on the door Shift Worker Please !!!! Don't even think about it with a very cranky looking disheveled RN for a pic. I guess because I live in an area where people s...

Oh absolutely!!! My brother and his now wife got me hooked way way way back. Saw them last summer when they played bayfest in Sarnia Ontario Canada It was awesome!

Hi I am just starting my first travel assignment and have found that Jill at Emerald health is great as is the company so far.:)

Which Agency are you with? I am just looking into to travel and I am trying to compare agencies. I am not really finding much information in the way of the good the bad and the ugly.

You raise some very interesting issues? I am currently searching for a travel job and all the agencies seem to be promising the moon. How did you go about becoming and independent? How are you covered in regards to liability? Any input would be ...

Very well said

Again I would like to say that I do not judge my pts. All of pts be they teen moms, prostitues, drug users or Drs wives get the same treatment from me. I try to teach and coach and hope for the best. I think the sad part is that all of you who wer...

I agree with most of this thread. We are trained to care for the pts holistically. I know that for the most part I am a caring nurse who goes the extra mile. I get my job done and my pts are well taken care of. Meds on time or before requested, dr...

Mount Clemens pays 20/49 per hour for New Grads They are currently negotiaing the contract and things are pretty much in uphevel right now:o

Hi Did you decide on a travel assignment? I am Canadian too and am researching travel in California, Let me know if you have any insight. Kathryne

Hi I worked in Canada from 1996-2001 and my student loans are paid. I left to work in a specialty area and to make more money. I got 12 weeks paid training and continued education, the ratios are better, I was even given benefits even for a part-...

Whooo HOO rolllllllllllllllllllllll Up the Riiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmm! This is a great thread. I work in Michigan and live in Canada. I am always getting caught for my "accent" for say out or about. Or how I say what a BP is. You know you are ...

Hey a deep breath and relax. I know its hard but you more then likely passed. I wrote three years ago and it shut down before I even made it to the first mandatory break I freaked! The person at the office came out and handed me kleenex and assur...

Sounds like a great idea to me. With all the technology we should be able to be in one data bank. Easier way to keep track of "problem nurses" too. And what the heck is up with Homeland Security and their Visa screen???? I have been credentialed...

Well said!!

I think perhaps you missed the point of what I wrote. I said that even though I have my own opinion I DO NOT let it show in how I treat my patients They have made a choice and now they are living with it. I think that it is so very unrealistic tho...
