I hate to tell you, you will have a HELL of a time finding work in the major hospitals ie, Colombia, Tenet, Presbyterian, Baylor, Parkland, JPS and many universities use this ungodly system which was to be a good service-to report rouge nurses. Such...

As an LVN here in North Texas with almost 20 years experience, it is VERY hard for you to get a hospital job here. And what sucks is, most of my experience is in the hospital. But even with my experience, they will hire a new RN grad with no experien...

Sucks!! My company did nothing nor said nothing!! Even after it was politely hinted at.:angryfire

She should take you to the RITZ after the hell you endured!!

I do agree about the liablity issue, but in a Rehab setting, families are encouraged to participate as part of the patients care when they go home. No nurse will be there. If you teach the family properly, you tend to have less trouble out of them. M...

......May this mean old man ROT in nursing HELL!! LMAO!!!!!

Ponchetta..and Pronuncio a girl and guy I grew up with...:chuckle

1. Do I know who you are? Who cares! 2. You don't understand why you feel so bad? If you'd loose 450 million pounds and quit smoking, and tell your familiy to quit bringing you Taco Bell up here to eat instead of eating what your doctor ordered MIGHT...

1. Docs who don't return urgent phone calls about their patients. 2. Lazy CNAs that won't do jack squat! 3. The family members that take notes or threaten to sue. Or say, "my son is a lawyer, I'm a doctor"....blah, blah to try to scare or intimidat...

A family of "frequent flyers" consisting of a daughter, mother , father and cousin, all over 300 lbs+ with various suitcases asking to be checked in for not feeling well and needing to "get away for a while". All had stable v/s, no unusual labs, no c...

I worked in a local nursing home several years ago,and there were two confused ladies in a semi-private room. The lady by the window, we'll call her Mrs.L, had an old fashioned looking black and white photo of an old woman with a shawl on. She would ...

Your sister-in-law should just give her 2 weeks notice and leave in a professional manner. The management already knows that they suck. You could be labeled a trouble maker. In my experience, I've never seen saying something against the facility on t...

Belive me. For every nut like this lady, I've seen 1000 more! I have seen family members with laptops in the room surfing WebMD or MySpace to tell you how to do your job. Or the ones with the notepad to write everything down so they can sue. One of t...

Yes, the Pantego area is nice and very affordable. Stay away from anything near HWY 360. Too much crime. Just imagine when a Texas Rangers game will be in progress with a Dallas Cowboys game at the same time. Traffic will be hell on earth!

I'm an East Texas girl myself.I loved the very true depiction of Tyler(LMAO)!!! The jobs are not very plentyful for nurses when I left. Most of the them had been ther for years. You has to almost wait for one of them to retire or go to Jesus to get a...

There is something up with Lake Pointe. I worked agency out there a few years ago. And they were "always" short of nurses. Maybe they are trying to compete. And they are definately not nurse freindly.

As horrifying as that video was, lets stop and think. How many times have we as nurses worked in unsafe conditions grossly understaffed, and a patient suffered because they didn't get care they deserved because you were physically unable to. Then thi...

Yes this is a big trend here in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. Amazing that hospitals are quick to boot LVN's out, but many of them will let LVN's work through the Agency. It just goes to show who's help is appreciated and years of service are respect...

Too much drama! First of all, it is nothing to be ashamed of that you didn't get accepted. That happens a lot. Could be the program seats were full, ...ect. Nothing to hide. Second, if you are working with someone like that, you know you can't trust ...

It is very important as a patient identifier. A person's race and cultural beliefs are also important when planning the care of a patient. For example, I have read a patient's chart or their medical records stating on the paperwork they were White an...

...Hmm....You are very defensive of Group One... This entity has ruined so many good nurses work oppourtunities in North Texas because some supervisor got "****** off" and other petty crap....They disguise themselves a credit reporting agency. Some f...

Maxim here in Dallas had lots of work when I worked for them a few years ago, but paychecks were often wrong and staff was rude. HOWEVER, I know that was some time ago. Those people are probably not there now. And they do have benefits. They are a na...

And yet they yell on the mountain top " We have a nursing shortage!" :igtsyt:

Duh, LVN's know when a person is dead. It is amazing here in North Texas the yelp is "we are desperate for nurses", yet none of the advertised hospitals in the papers are listing open LVN positions. To add to the insult, there have been a rare time o...

I dont think that you should change your name. Med surg DOES suck! And it's well known. I have heard nurses in other departments call this floor "The hospital dumping ground". And it takes a lot of skill to work there. Med surg gets no respect. Chan...
