  2. The Betrayal

    SionainnRN replied to jayrn14's topic in Nursing Career

    As far as I know you aren't even guaranteed a residency as a MD. You have to match with a specialty and facility and if you don't, you're out of luck. If someone knows more please fill us in. As for...

  3. should i disclose pending charge during interview?

    SionainnRN replied to movingforwardRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think it's better to be honest up front. That gives you a chance to explain the circumstances versus them seeing the facts on paper. But what I would do is use the wording you have here. Whether the...

  4. CEN

    SionainnRN replied to Happynurse12's topic in Emergency

    The number of pts you see doesn't really matter. Bottom line is there is a huge huge difference between an urgent care and an ER. Anyone can take the test, but please realize it doesn't make you an ER...

    SionainnRN replied to Happynurse12's topic in Emergency

  7. can you get fire

    SionainnRN replied to nyt010806's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes. Even if it was her own chart, it doesn't matter. Anytime you go into a pts chart and you are not giving care, it's a HIPAA violation. They maybe more lenient because it is her family, or they may...

  8. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

    SionainnRN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah that doesn't matter because EVERYONE has lives and families. That's why it goes by seniority. Otherwise people who choose to stay single would get screwed on every schedule. Going by seniority...

  10. No call No show but

    SionainnRN replied to bs63136's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It doesn't count as a call in unless you actually talk to someone. And you have no idea the circumstances of the other employees. Take this as a lesson

  12. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    SionainnRN replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No but to bash at people and say they're lying about everything is unAmerican. Yes everyone makes mistakes but your previous posts says that they lied on purpose. The CDC and the government are doing...

  13. Canadian RN looking to move to California

    SionainnRN replied to RNjetsetter's topic in Travel

    California has about a 47% unemployment rate for nurses. It's worse in the popular urban areas like San Diego and San Francisco. Whatever you do, don't move till you have a

  14. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    SionainnRN replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you dislike our government so much and think they are lying about everything, feel free to leave. I will never apologize for having faith in my country and believing they are doing the best they...

  15. ICU pay differential?

    SionainnRN replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    So what about ER nurses? We have to take care of ICU pts too. Should we get paid more? Or just a bonus when we officially have ICU

  16. ICU pay differential?

    SionainnRN replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

  20. ICU pay differential?

    SionainnRN replied to Mr. Murse's topic in Critical Care

    I have never heard of ICU nurses making more than floor nurses. And where would that leave ER nurses? A couple extra bucks when they have an ICU pt? Pay goes by years as a RN in every hospital I've...

  21. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    SionainnRN replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hmm someone edited their post so the quote came out wrong. I'm just going to reiterate that a fever is 100.4 and above. She did not have a

    SionainnRN replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well....rectal is the most accurate

  23. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    SionainnRN replied to logank622's topic in Disaster Preparation

    She didn't have a fever. A fever is 100.4 or greater, she had 99.5. That is not a fever. And if you can't trust the CDC who are we supposed to

  24. Appropriate or not?

    SionainnRN replied to LMH2687's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not usually. If I'm transporting another pt up to the same floor and go past their room I might pop my head in and say a quick hi and talk up the staff. But I think making a specific trip to see a pt...

  25. Hard Time

    SionainnRN replied to proches's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What I was asking was what part of micro aren't you getting? The whole thing? The labs? The tests? I'm glad you're trying. Get a tutor and study group and most importantly talk to your
