When I was hired to Telemetry I had certain classes to take and had 6 months for the ACLS. I later got certified by my own choice. If you are not happy you should leave. Why not get certified if that's your specialty. As a traveler I floated to Oncol...

Missed a entire week. To correct frequency how do I write an order to not have a visit that week

I have been asked to call the managers myself. I did this twice and never got the job. So today my recruiter asks me to call the manager but be "stealth" about it. Told her no that I didn't like doing it. Has anybody done this and had a good outcome?

How do you call and do it "Stealth"? Most managers don't even answer the phone in my experience. I know they are busy and like I said I have never received a call back. Ty

He did ask if I wanted to extend but when I said no he asked where I wanted to go. I replied I was looking for a staff job and he said to let him know if I was interested in traveling again.

was with then for a year. They only offer me Kaiser which I did and regretted it. Also my recruiter set me up with a non Kaiser hospital and Cross Country was the in between. Lower my pay by 200.00 after I accepted stating only med-surg so not tele s...

The hospital I am traveling at gave staff nurses a bag with a pen, candy and phone charger. Nothing as usual for the travelers and contract staff. My company nothing not even a Thank You.

Hi has anyone interviewed or worked at Kaiser? My company says the interview is an hour over the phone. I cant imagine what kinds of questions they might ask.

I have worked with prisoners in the hospital and while some are disrespectful they are not anything like regular patients these days. Pts and their families are so difficult these days I want to leave the hospital after 14 yrs.

Sounds like my last staff job. I left on my own after I started traveling but she was doing her best to fire me. My "friends" coworkers avoided me because she threatened them. It hurt me at the time but she was let go a few months later. Most of my c...

Not sure about Oakland but the San Fran area is great. I stayed in Hercules and it was okay. I wish I liked my contract better so I could have stayed. I might go back to a different hospital.

What didnt I like about the assignment? besides making 1/2 of what staff was making? They just started to do 8 hr shifts and no one wanted the PM shift so they hired a few travelers and 10 new grads who didnt have a clue about Telemetry. 2 charge nur...

I just finished a contract at Doctors in San Pable. new grades were hired at 59.00 hr. I got about 37.50 between stipen and hourly. Never again because I will research before I go. Hated the assisngment but loved San Fran

I asked my PCP and my insurance did pay for them.

LOL, no except maybe he had renal issues. I have seen 3 times a week after dialysis but, can't recall once a week.

Pharmacist can and do write orders. I see less than yrs ago but Dr will ask them to order antibiotics per protecol depending on labs. They also order labs when the Dr misses it.

Lesson to learn from. I doubt you will lose your license. The manager should speak to you and suggest how it can be prevented next time. It doesnt matter if others were at fault because you had an unsigned MAR and you didnt do the 24hr check. Both sh...

2nd born, both parents ETOH, Mother RN was 3rd daughter and neither parent alcoholic

I was a volunteer in high school at the county hospital, a CNA for 7 yrs and now an RN for 14 yrs. I absolutely would pay anyone to do VS and FS. Hate doing them. Now we have to do our own. What ticks me off is to have a manager go into a room where ...

I can't even figure out how to respond to you. Do you know anyone who has been molested? I do, me. In fact my oldest sister was molested by my father, she inturn molested our 3 brothers, yrs later my mother remarried and my stepfather molester my you...

I took the PBDS 2 yrs ago. I wasn't told before. Once we were in orientation they told us right before we had to take it. I passed. Just follow their suggestions. Look up other threads on it and study a little.

Have always seen every 8 hrs x 3. If pt c/o cp again they order the same, sometimes the orders cross each other. Last few places I worked (I'm a traveler) I have seen every 6 x 3.

Like above posters said. give 2 weeks notice and do not burn bridges. Even though you might be sure you will never see these people again you will. If not the same people, ones who have a friend that worked with you.

What type of physical test do you have to take and pass. Years ago my mom just had to run a guerney down the hill and back up. She did it but she hurt for days.

I am in Ca and on their site it looks like they dont have any openings right now, so I might just fill it out and wait. Thanks for your replies.
