  2. Vanderbilt/ VUMC Nurse Residency Program

    Emmasmom03 replied to R's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    No she was offered her last choice, but it is likely because she did an externship on the same type of floor. It was cardiac step down focusing on transplants and LVADS. She wanted CVICU. Ultimately...

  4. Average call time

    Emmasmom03 posted a topic in Telephone Triage

    I think my call time is pretty low. I am at about five minutes for the actual call, not including documentation time. I know I go fast, but so many of the calls are about strep or ear infections....

  6. Average call time

    Emmasmom03 replied to Emmasmom03's topic in Telephone Triage

    Mine is around 5 minutes on an average day. My calls vary widely though and are mostly easy issues like pink eye, strep and stomach flu. So my call time is short on those as they are super

  9. 8 Work From Home Jobs

    Emmasmom03 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nursing Career

    I work from home as well. No worries about being late as I have to punch in and have to be on to take calls during my hours. I love it. I don't have to get dressed, but I usually do unless I am...

  10. School Shootings

    Emmasmom03 replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly one thing we have got to do is to stop glamorizing guns. I am on another site called Nextdoor which is for people who live around next. Every single day there is a thread about a "potential"...

  11. Pro Life Beliefs and Nursing

    Emmasmom03 replied to Tuzla99's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in Women's and still was not an issue. The only time I remember something remotely similar was a woman who was less than 20 weeks and who was dilated and contracting and maybe an infection??...

  12. Day vs Night Personalities

    Emmasmom03 replied to ScottMedicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it just depends. I am very laid back so night shift at the hospital was great for me, but with new mom's and babies it could be tough as night as we also had to act as lactation consultants as...

  14. HCA thoughts? StaRN program?

    Emmasmom03 replied to apgxo_'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would say no personally. I may have a different view. I used to work for a hospital in Houston that was bought out by HCA last August. At first it was fine, but starting the beginning of this year...

  15. New to triage and feeling incompetent!

    Emmasmom03 replied to RNhuron's topic in Telephone Triage

    Telephone triage nursing is so different than what most people think. Some days go really well and you feel like you have the hang of the job and then the next day you feel like every decision you...

  16. Actual job requirements of teletriage

    Emmasmom03 replied to Murphree8's topic in Telephone Triage

    My job truly is just triaging. I don't have to answer questions about directions to the office and I do not make the appointments myself. We have coordinators who do that part of the job. I just...

    Emmasmom03 posted a topic in Telephone Triage

    Is anyone working for them? I just signed up and would like to know how others like

  18. Lifehealth

    Emmasmom03 replied to Emmasmom03's topic in Telephone Triage

    Not high stress after you get used to it. Right now lots of overtime and bonuses being offered, but that us because this is a brand new contract and they underestimated staffing. I enjoy it for the...

  20. Anyone work for OptumHealth / UnitedHealth Group?

    Emmasmom03 replied to Amanda.RN's topic in Case Management

    I will be a contractor with Optum working from home. I will actually be working for Lifehealth, but Optum contracts them and the federal government is contracting Optum. Hopefully it will be good. I...

  21. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    Emmasmom03 replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. None of us wanted to be at the hospital for 96 hours during Harvey and most were not scheduled to work, but sometimes we have to change our

  22. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    Emmasmom03 replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    They most certainly can let you go. We just went through this in Houston and we had to work - either during the storm or after. We were locked in for 96 hours. Everyone is expected to

  23. San Jac Central ADN Fall 2017

    Emmasmom03 replied to memesandmargaritas's topic in School, College Programs

    I would just like to say that San Jac was a great school for me. I learned a lot and got a job right away. Getting in is not easy, but staying in is even harder. I went to Central as I graduated three...

  24. Night shift exhaustion

    Emmasmom03 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Emmasmom03 replied to Rhee's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Omg. I am so glad I found this. My hospital is currently working on getting certified and it is driving me insane. I do what is best for my patients period. If taking a baby for a night is going to...
