  1. Pre-employment credit checks in Nashville area hospitals?

    Mommy TeleRN replied to designer-mommy's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I doubt it would matter for a nursing position. However - as someone who has worked on their bad credit quite a bit... if you were an AUTHORIZED USER only you were not liable for balance and you can...

  2. Info on Johnson City Medical Center Please

    Mommy TeleRN replied to xdriggs's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Back before I became a nurse, I had a GI bleed (I think ecoli poisoning) the ER gave me IVF and sent me home (well I was visiting from out of town, so to the hotel) Thankfully it stopped on it's own...

  3. NewGrad Hours/Shift Questions

    Mommy TeleRN replied to hopeful*heart's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hmm most hospitals I know have 12 hr shifts. 7-3 type jobs are more like procedural areas where you usually need experience first. I would think someplace like the ER might be more flexible since...

  4. UT University of Tennesee Hospital/know anything?

    Mommy TeleRN replied to Lisa1980's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The pay is low and is not getting any better. I'm personally very frustrated with the pay issues right now. We keep getting more asked of us and less given to us. I would probably consider moving to a...

  6. UT pay and work environment??

    Mommy TeleRN replied to baschaff's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    8? What floor is THAT? Typical is 4-6 on days depending on the floor. 5-6 on nights. On RARE and VERY RARE occasions you might get a 7th on nights. Insurance is very reasonably priced. 401k gives 5%...

  7. NURSING LIABILITY

    Mommy TeleRN replied to MONDO MONDO's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I would want HER to write the TO on an order sheet and give to me. She took them, she should have ALREADY written them anyway right? To READ BACK you have to WRITE THEM. The standard of practice is to...

    Mommy TeleRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Mommy TeleRN replied to JStyles1's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The rest of the hospital is computer. I dont work ED..but from what I've seen it's mostly paper. Not too sure with the traumas themselves in the ED. I would think things move too fast in the ED to be...

  16. Communication between nursing/pharmacy Crushing Meds

    Mommy TeleRN replied to compassionRN's topic in Tennessee Nursing
