    schnookimz replied to SeattleJess's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    schnookimz replied to heather0208's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    schnookimz replied to pbajil's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No that's not okay around here. In my experience, they will give you a start date and that's it. Not really negotiable. In addition, all the hospitals around here start ALL nurses on the same day...

    schnookimz replied to RN A's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If you draw and then put it in the tubes, aren't you letting go of the line?? Then you have to reclean it before you flush? Why not just draw, flush, and then drop
