  1. Postive UDS's What is your facilities policy?

    cabbage patch rn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    cabbage patch rn replied to IMTechnology's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If I weren't so old and worn out I would consider doing it for someone. I think it's a wonderful gift. But I can see how it wouldn't be for

  16. Does This Place Exist?

    cabbage patch rn replied to VickyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes there is. The OB unit that I work on is great. The doctors are very respectful of the nurses, which is a first for me too. Most of the nurses work well together too, with the exception of maybe...

  21. Pay rate poll

    cabbage patch rn replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Yowza! To me that's a lot. Where I live, a 1 bedroom apt wouldn't run you more than $350/month, and that would be a pretty nice place. The average 3 BR home here costs anywhere from 80K-150K. I would...
