I went to the link that someone posted here on this topic regarding overtime pay at: http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/191/business/Nation_s_nurses_lobby_to_protect_overtime_pay+.shtm part way down it says.... ---------------------------------------...

Darci, We are thinking about moving near Omaha (it is where I grew up) - my parent's live in Fremont and the cost of living is great there (compared to where we live now!) Is this anywhere near the hospital you have mentioned?

Hello, IV's are something that just take a lot of practice! Every chance you get to start one - go for it! Before my current position, I worked pre-op in Day Surgery - lots of experience there. I have found one helpful technique when using the IV cat...

At our hospital we were scrubs that signify who we are. For example, nursing staff (RN, LVN) wear navy scrubs and can also wear white with this or all white. CNA's (nursing assistants) and our tele techs wear maroon, pharmacy wears purple, RT wears t...

Have you considered PRN vs. Part time? I recently worked in Day Surgery and that is GREAT for days - no weekends no holidays - nice environment! Also they LOVE to have PRN people because their schedule can fluctuate so much. Our unit was always busy ...

Hellooooo! Any PCU nurses out there????

Well, I went and tried out several stethoscopes and decided on a Master Classic II. It was about the same price as the Ultrascope and even the Stethoscope just below the Master Classic in price - the Classic II let me hear breath and heart sounds bet...

I work in Day Surgery in the Dallas area and we have 2 full-time nurses who do Pre Admissions Testing and a few of us (from Day Surgery also) who fill in when PAT is busy. I too, love working in this area and our unit is extremely flexible with our s...

Thanks for the links! I have been searching thru here and have found several people say that they liked the Ultrascope better than the Cardiology (Littman). It's just so funky looking! Littman is the old favorite. I saw one post that said a nurse inv...

Has anyone tried the "Ultrascope" stethoscope? I am about to replace my classic Littman and have heard a lot of great things about this new brand, but can find little info on it....
