  1. Dry hands

    cadillac05 replied to mamason's topic in General Nursing

    The new Mary Kay Satin Hands combines 2 steps in a peachy fragrance. The extra emmolient night cream is great for nightly application. Don't even need the gloves if they're

  2. jobs near louisville?

    cadillac05 replied to cariad's topic in General Nursing

    Louisville area hospitals use in-house registry and agency nurses. Not much chance for a travel contract. Pay is much lower than other areas, as well. The agency I work with pays $27 plus bonuses if...

  3. claiming to be what she isn't

    cadillac05 replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the clarification. Again, with such a huge number of designations for various healthcare providers, the general public just doesn't really care what your title is. I can see the problem you...

  5. Pa None Smoking!

    cadillac05 replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    The unfortunate thing is that laws are not always the answer. By the way, the United States of America is a republic form of government. During the past few decades, those who want everyone else to...

  6. Pa None Smoking!

    cadillac05 replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    What other factors play a part in the numerous medical diagnoses of those patients? Ask any environmentalist (gag) about all the polutants in our air. They like to 'crusade law' people to death, too....

  7. Pa None Smoking!

    cadillac05 replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    Not a very thought-ful answer to the question

  8. Pa None Smoking!

    cadillac05 replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    Given the fact that most 'baby-boomers' and lots of their children grew up in homes of smokers and were in a society where smoking took place freely, just how in the world have so many millions...

  9. Relocating to Kentucky

    cadillac05 replied to kitty9898's topic in General Nursing

    Clark Hospital (Clarksville) and Floyd Memorial (New Albany) are advertising $5000 sign on bonuses for ICU nurses. They are on the Indiana side of the river and may be too far from Prospect to...

  10. Traveling and Learning

    cadillac05 replied to Billy5949's topic in Travel

    Sounds like you're a bit frustrated with where you are. Is that the reason you want to 'travel'? If so, you'll probably find the same type of situation (to some degree) wherever you are. I am not...

  11. Skirts in the OR

    cadillac05 replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in Operating Room

    No one is arguing. That's why I noted that you were referring to your hospital's policy. And your first post mentioned the checking. Don't get yours in a bunch, please. :smackingf There are no...

  12. Skirts in the OR

    cadillac05 replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in Operating Room

    Nearly every OR I've worked in had one or more women who, for religious reasons, wore skirts. Scrub dresses are still available and were purchased for their use by the facility. Perineal fallout? and...

  13. Laredo Medical Center ??

    cadillac05 replied to kwagner_51's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was there for a 6-week travel assignment a few years ago. Laredo is a border town, not very attractive. People are nice, but Spanish is the primary language, so be prepared to learn if you're...

  14. considering OR traveling

    cadillac05 replied to mtnrunnerRN's topic in Operating Room

    Although I was offered assignments in many parts of the country, I was partial to the west. Was in my home state of Texas, N. Mex., Ariz., Wy., Wash., N. Dak., and Wisconson. I think that's all. Did 7...

  15. considering OR traveling

    cadillac05 replied to mtnrunnerRN's topic in Operating Room

    I traveled for several years as a circulator with no problem. Took call, too. Every OR I've ever been in has ORTs which severely limits the use of RNs as scrubs. Unfortunate, because I always enjoyed...

  16. How Does This Happen in an OR?

    cadillac05 replied to Jussurfin's topic in Operating Room

    This sounds like fiction. "Under anesthesia" indicates that a provider was at the head of the table. The circulator would have been present while the patient was in stirrups. In other words, the...

  17. Is it uncommon for nurses to scrub?

    cadillac05 replied to studentnurse74's topic in Operating Room

    Yes, it is uncommon these days for RNs to scrub. By law, a circulator must be a RN, but a scrub person can be a tech or LV(P)N. Economically & (unfortunately) practically, an all RN staff is rare....

  18. Opinions?

    cadillac05 replied to 11:11's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am originally from Kerrville, the heart of the hill country. It's a beautiful area surrounded by hills with the Guadalupe River running through it. It's approximately one hour from San Antonio, 1...

  19. Just How do You do It?

    cadillac05 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Agency Nurses

    is important! I always consider every new experience an adventure :Melody: . "Only good things happen to me!" Sometimes the 'good thing' is moving on to the next adventure :rotfl:

  20. OR Dress Standards

    cadillac05 replied to NeuroNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    which accounts for some of the differences. As a former traveler, I've been in quite a few ORs, each with its own way of doing things. Scrubs or 'bunny suits' that cover street clothes are always...

  21. Travel Nursing in your RV full time

    cadillac05 replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Agency Nurses

    After traveling for a few years, all that loading, unloading, pet deposits that got outrageous...I bought a 31' motorhome. What a great move that was. Never had to do without the comforts of home...

  22. HELP!! Hospital covering up a murder???

    cadillac05 replied to Jennifernsammy's topic in General Nursing

    This whole scenario is questionable to me. Narcotic infusions are given through a locked pump to which this 'MD' or anyone unauthorized would not have

  23. Phenergan Supp given to toddler; child dies

    cadillac05 replied to Mom23's topic in Emergency

    This thread is an example of how much I appreciate the information/expertise shared that enhances my knowledge base in areas not readily familiar to me as an OR

  24. Less than optimum anesthesia?

    cadillac05 replied to UCDSICURN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm wondering what Sev & Vec are. Maybe they're drugs known to me by another name. Questions... 1) Was an anesthesia service utilized or was this a "conscious sedation" anesthesia? 2) What patient...

  25. Looks like our teachers are going to strike

    cadillac05 replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's disappointing to me that everything is put into a political context. We elect people to make decisions based on what is the right thing to do. The "right" thing is provide reasonable health care...
