I would be interested to know as well. I had a Master Cardiology that was stolen recently. I preferred the Cardiology III over the Master Cardiology. I am trying to decide between another Cardiology III or the new IV. I would like to hear some review...

Hi, I am a new grad Acute Care NP. I accepted a job and have been orienting with a team of inpatient NP's. I was not required to sign a contract when I was hired. The organization is supportive and the team I work with is great, good salary, good ben...

Prn jobs in Houston can pay about $45-$50 an hour. If you didn't need benefits, theoretically you could come close to 6 figures if you had a couple of prn jobs.

I have a dog walker who comes to let my dogs out mid shift. If you can find one in your area, I would highly recommend!

We took a standardized test (I think it was called ATI)every semester prior to graduation. Each semester was a different "level." We were given study guides and those who did not pass were required to go to remediation. I seem to remember your grade ...

I have a prescription for a ADD medication. I have been on this medication for 15 years and was on it through nursing school, my masters program, as well as multiple jobs/hospitals. The way it works everywhere I have been drug tested is once your dru...

Wow..... everywhere I have worked has had a hypoglycemia protocol. No glucose check or D50..... Sounds dangerous! As far as fluids, in one of the ICU's where I worked, we did occasionally give fluid boluses with no order. Where I work now, this would...

Very well said.

Depends where you are. Salaries vary widely on a national level.

I can't speak for the specific departments that are hiring but I know several people who have been at Methodist for years. They have been very happy with their experience.

I know a nurse with two years of experience (experience not in the specialty she was hired for, no sign on bonus) who was started at $31/Hr plus diffs for weekend, evenings and nights.

Great hospital to work for. Many believe they have the best benefits package of the Houston hospitals. A lot of research being done.

What city?

If you don't feel supported and staffing is dangerous change hospitals. I actually changed states and found a dramatic increase in pay, quality of management and staffing. Not all ICUs are like the one you describe.

Depends on the state. In Texas it's a >20 page application form and fee. We also apply for prescriptive authority, Dea #, dps#, npi#. Does the Bon website have a checklist of what you need? Did your school give you any guidance on credentialing? W...

I used to work in an ER with a lot of psych patients. Had several swallow objects: needles, metal utensils, specimen cups, batteries, razor blades, chap stick while under our supervision. Eventually we started putting them in paper gowns and taking a...
