    Liss RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, may be a stupid question, but, (there are no stupid questions....right?) I'm a new nurse in a ICU, and I overheard someone say the term "crumping" a few days ago. Can someone tell me what...

  5. New RN, New to Houston, and No Job

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

  8. Houston GN Residencies

    Liss RN replied to HelpMeFindAJob's topic in Texas Nursing

    Liss RN replied to clearblue3's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Marisa, I am no expert, I am a new grad RN. But, what I was taught is that only pitting edema is rated 1-4 based on depth of the indentation made in mm. So, +1 pitting would be 2mm indentation, +2...

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

  20. Pay Raise After Nursing Residency?

    Liss RN replied to RNQueen's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would stick with the hospital that hired you for their residency, at least for a little longer. I've heard it's in poor taste to just cut and run after all that training. I was told by a hospital...

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm a May 2010 ADN grad as well! I didn't apply to Ben Taub's program because they said BSN's only too! I guess maybe I should just go ahead and apply anyway to Methodist's GN stuff? I did apply to...
