    neuronursein06 replied to Pam RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    just kind of an addendum to this- loyola's outpatinet cardiology dept is very, very good; if tom mckiernan is taking new patients (i kind of doubt he is, though), i'd try to get in with him- and i...

    neuronursein06 replied to KcRN07's topic in General Nursing

    neuronursein06 replied to Kitty-MayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Me, personally? I like coming home and having my guy understand everything- and in the same respect, I really like now that we're at different hospitals, so we're not rehashing the same codes, the...

  12. Any nurses married to a nurse ?

    neuronursein06 replied to Kitty-MayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, the couple at the one hospital work the same nights every week; it must be written into their contract, though I don't know that for certain. Another friend is married to a guy who's going to...

    neuronursein06 replied to Kitty-MayRN's topic in General Nursing

    not married to a nurse, but marrying a physician in a few months; i know that wasn't the q, but it works well for us. both understand what the other is going through, don't work at the same hospital...

    neuronursein06 replied to Pam RN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I give a huge thumbs up to the CCF as a teaching institution.....was a patient there for a few years for something else, but that hospital is awesome. Loyola's tele is extremely disorganized- always...

    neuronursein06 replied to Soozen's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I knew it didn't come from you; I just am incredulous that even second-hand you'd hear that...and that someone would say that! That floor is like the Flintstone area....old wings, etc...very dreary...

    neuronursein06 replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
