Do you deliver IV fluid bolus on a pump or by a pressure bag??

I think the answer to your question may lie here: Luke 10: 25-37. I think it symbolizes everything about Christ and his followers. It has very little to do with spirituality and religion, but everything to do with humanity, humility, compassion, and kindness. It, therefore, also speaks to the heart of Nursing. God Bless You!

A Catholic Priest, I think.

This happened five weeks ago: July 26th. Questions: -Why was there no action by anyone in the justice system for five weeks? -Why was there action taken only after this was released to the media? -Who released the body cam to the media? -Will the Lieutenant, who ordered the Detective to place her under arrest, be investigated? Does he have a superior who ordered him to give that order?

I'm in a similar position as you; I also want to secure a position before relocating. Have you looked into licensure requirements? Arizona is part of the compact, but Illinois is not. Would you have better success if you secured an Arizona license to submit with your next application?

I recently learned that base rate for 20 years longevity in critical care of a Phx-area hospital network is $40/hr. Other interesting details: Cost of Living Calculator - Cost of Living Comparison Index Tool

Hello...sent you a PM.

I was told the story by a nurse who worked at a military hospital in North Dakota. She related that a patient of hers, who was a middle-aged man, died unexpectedly in the middle night during one of her shifts. Within a month of that happening, whenever that room (313!) in which the patient had been was vacant and that nurse was working, the call light would go on. Again, the room was vacant and it was the middle the night and the call light would go on... By itself. This began to occur with some frequency, but only when that specific nurse was working. At first, it was thought that someone is playing a practical joke on a very mean level, but then others came to witness the same thing and talk to begin the spread that there was a ghost … Likely that man's spirit. Finally, it came to a point, that one night, again, that that yours was again working, the room is vacant and the call light came on in the middle of the night. that same nurse went into the room and said, " i'm sure you died, it wasn't my fault, we have much work to do, please give us some rest." And never happened again.

It does leave one shaking one's head, huh? My take: they hadn't found anyone to take the job and they're under the gun to seal the deal. You were the answer to their struggles. They had a (nearly) signed contract & were going to make a handsome profit. Then, your situation occurred. They don't want to lose two clients: you & the hospital, so....$$$! I had two similar situations as yours. Good Luck!

We use an acuity system as well which is pretty comprehensive. It basically shows that not every patient requires as much care as another while some require MUCH more. If the information is collected appropriately, tabulated correctly and applied as recommended, I believe in it. If each of these steps isn't followed as per policy, both the patient and nurse suffer.

Hi...I'm a 45 year old male RN who has worked at the hospital bedside in Critical Care/MedSurg with stints in Management for the last 15 years. Gender is a non-issue in my experience. I suggest contact the HR Dept of a local hospital and inquire about 'shadowing' a nurse(s) in areas of nursing which might be of interest. Most are more than willing to respond to this type of request (I facilitated this often when I was a Nurse Manager). While shadowing, ask as many questions about work, environment, culture that you can think of...if this heightens your interest, contact a local community college or skilled nursing facility (nursing home) about enrollment in a Nursing Assistant course. After completing this, you'll know with certainty whether or not you wish to go the next step. Good Luck!
