hIYA FELLOWS!! now, we're all gOoD!! keep coming those stimulating ideas... i am enjoying this.. 1st courser, 2nd courser, whatever... as long as both will do things right..

I cant believe it..It is just so frustrating, nurses who came 3 months to 2yrs after me are paid more than I do!! wELl, i cant imagine the angst of those who are in service for the last 20 years and are paid behind, their counterparts who got qualifi...

JUS WANNA BE HELPFUL...U KNOW, OUT OF GOOD WILL...

I personally think, this A4C is not going to make our pay and working conditions any better... too early to judge A4C, i know and please dont call me stereotyped... well, i studied my stars and ruling planets and it said, it's not promising at all.....

well, hi there colleague, if in case ur already in america, u want me to keep ur back pay for you? it'll be in good hands.. i hope its gonna be this november cuz the tax will build up.. i want to have a merry kwizmazzz....:wink2:

WELL, there is no way i can sort my pay..the A4C people are the ones who decided my scale..and since our trust is in wobbly state of finances (just like most of the other trusts), it's going to be a while they said..well, none of us nrsg staff is bac...

eXACTLY...there are people who are blessed and fortunate to be vindicated w/ a better than before, well deserving increment but a number has been on the other end of it.. I just cant understand why its difficult for them to analyze it... :angryfire ...

1st sign of pneumonia: dyspnea, tachypnea, use of accessory muscles, sputum production, cough, etc... So you would auscultate, crackles, rhonchi pleural friction rub... bloods: raised WCC and CRP, ESR..

A pt called for nurse for another pt who happens to have STM loss and has been endlessly searching for her upper set of denture..We searched hi and low, in her bag, insyd her shoes, insyd and out of her cabinet, bed, sheets, blankets,pillows..toilet....

[quote= Another memorable was the dearest little confused lady who was using her call bell to play jeopardy on TV and was annoyed that 'the other fella' was winning. Even after being re-oriented, the bell was still ringing every 5 seconds. :chuckle ...

Good grief!!! That is funny!!! chuckle* chuckle*
