   guest655229 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

   As a 17 year RN in ICU and ER, I would have known not to access any patients chart that was not in my direct care. No celebrity is worth a job, especially Smollet...Surely we are training our new...

   guest655229 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

   I concur!!! Shut it down over a year ago. Best decision I ever made. Sometimes I do miss the networking with my travel nursing and those whom I've worked with in the past but overall worth it. My...

7. Mass. voters see robust 'Nurse Staffing Act' on horizon, finally!

   guest655229 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in Activism, Healthcare

   Remind me NOT to go to that hospital if she's the one running it. Was that comment published? I wonder sometimes how people get in those positions. It makes zero sense. Praying it comes to fruition....

8. Ohio RN nurse applying to California. Denied. Help?

   guest655229 replied to Emily Suzanne's topic in Operating Room

   Maybe do a few travel gigs to get your foot in the door. I've traveled all over CA for the last 5 years and never had a problem getting any contract. I did adult ICU both Cardiac and Surgical. I also...

9. Roller board vs slider

   guest655229 replied to QueenElisaRocks's topic in Operating Room

   I just wanted to say, grrrr!!!! That stinks, we all use roller boards and have no intention of going to a slider board. Slider boards are good if going from stretcher to bed but NOT OR table to...

11. open visitation in neuro ICU

    guest655229 replied to NCC_RN's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    The open visitation is irritating and somewhat dangerous. It can be very distracting to have to respond to family when administering meds, titrating gtts etc...They do not have a clue what you are...

13. Etiquette in the OR?

    guest655229 replied to trauma_lama's topic in Operating Room

    Our regular OR tables hold 675 pounds, excluding Jackson and fracture tables, of course. The bariatric certified table holds 1000. I can't believe they make on OR table that only holds 375...The noise...

    guest655229 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent idea. After 15 years, the last 10 of which have been in ICU, I wish this had been thought of sooner. I'm now in an OR at a teaching facility where we do a lot of transplants. Nothing could...

    guest655229 replied to misspleasehelpme's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I did not make that assumption, you did. I simply stated 'God has made a plan for your life'. I suppose if she passes boards it was meant to be. Do you think the way things play out is His will being...
