  7. Incentive pay to work in the ER

    CSLee3 replied to Jetman's topic in Emergency

  12. MA vs LPN-- which one?????

    CSLee3 replied to sheliamd's topic in General Nursing

  15. color coding staff

    CSLee3 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, it is sad people do the things they do. It is not like it was a 12 hour notice or anything. My spoiled rotten dog would be with us wherever we ended up, even if I had to sneak him into a hotel....

  19. Central texas college

    CSLee3 replied to RS0302's topic in Texas Nursing

  24. Press Gainey in the ER

    CSLee3 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    Has anyone thought of the cost? Our hospitals have to contract and pay Press Gainey and that costs lots of money. I find it amusing that we can't replace broken or lost equipment, or have merit...
