    cammy429 replied to amf1987's topic in Texas Nursing

    cammy429 replied to jillnurse2b's topic in New York Nursing

    cammy429 replied to BGgirl's topic in General Nursing

    cammy429 replied to TCUFrogs!'s topic in Texas Nursing

  10. Nyc question

    cammy429 replied to joe134's topic in New York Nursing

    I dont know if that "law" was ever passed. It was supposed to go to the board in January 2005. I haven't heard anything else about it except for reading a few posts on here. I am not one to believe...

  13. Group One consumer Info

    cammy429 replied to leigh21's topic in Texas Nursing

  14. Dallas Hospitals!!!!!

    cammy429 replied to TCUFrogs!'s topic in Texas Nursing

  15. Dallas Hospitals!!!!!

    cammy429 replied to TCUFrogs!'s topic in Texas Nursing

    I just wanted to know why you think that it was sometimes beneficial for hospitals to be non-union. I have only worked in one hospital which is non-unionized as well in NYC, that's VERY rare. But as...

  18. How about the HARDEST job in nursing?

  19. Med Surg before OB/Maternity???

    cammy429 replied to SerenityR.N.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I really didn't mean to offend anyone. I was merely stating what someone else said to me. I am sure in any patient care area of nursing you would have to assess patients. Med Surg is generalized so...

  20. Med Surg before OB/Maternity???

    cammy429 replied to SerenityR.N.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    There is such a shortage of nurses that they do hire new grads directly into specialty areas. I got a year of critical care/med surg experience before accepting my postpartum position (starting in...
