    So you hate your job....?

    RN Randy replied to RN Randy's topic in General Nursing

    Funny thing, I tried that too and the answer was "Wow, I hate to see you go, and I appreciate you telling me, but you'll need to submit it in writing." Better yet, when moving up into the suit and tie...

    So you hate your job....?

    RN Randy replied to RN Randy's topic in General Nursing

    Well... if you're female, I suggest we marry... and if male, maybe we can catch a game or something... either way, I agree wholeheartedly, sadly and unfortunately. Thanks to everyone else as well, I...

    Need a PACU tshirt slogan!

    RN Randy replied to mothertucker's topic in General Nursing

    I've always enjoyed time spent in the PACU... as a visitor anyway... Nothing like being there to make fun of your 'Homer Simpson slobbering on the couch' friends, eh? PACU - a sobering experience......

    Got Ethics?

    RN Randy posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I'm standing at my desk in the ED, stirring in a pile of paperwork trying to figure out where I went wrong, when the charge nurse comes up and hands me a $50 gas/gift card from Exxon. I say...

    Got Ethics?

    RN Randy replied to RN Randy's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, it's got outta hand I'd say. I asked about it yesterday and someone said something about it having become too expensive or something and they haven't heard anything about it lately. We'll see......

    Got Ethics?

    RN Randy replied to RN Randy's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Ang, Well.. if we were passing out candy bars, I wouldn't have a problem at all. No one will fight for a bedside spot for the "show" for such a treat. However fifty bucks seems to be worth...

    Why dont YOU wear a helmet??

    RN Randy replied to Crux1024's topic in General Nursing

    GOLF??? Too risky for me. That ball is traveling at 60-80mph and not a soul around with a helmet... just nutz. Hats off to your courage

    Why dont YOU wear a helmet??

    RN Randy replied to Crux1024's topic in General Nursing

    '02 Suzuki Intruder 1500LC here.... and just amazed at the responses here. Def a big debate. I'm a helmet wearer, albeit a half helmet, and yep it's just choice. Can't imagine not wearing one, though....

    Possible strike at MGH

    RN Randy replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    LOL... you gots that right. Well, they're still hanging in there it seems. I spoke with an employee not long ago [RN] and she wasn't sure about much of anything. They are all in the dark I guess...?...

    pay scale Charleston Huntington W.Va.

    RN Randy replied to budnut123's topic in General Nursing

    Well... I've been at a Charleston facility for nearly a year now and I agree with what has been said so far... it's a crap shoot. Some good, some bad, mostly the big dog attitude, and as I've said...

    Blood Draw Yields Fatty Deposit??

    RN Randy replied to stephanfloess's topic in General Nursing

    Propofol at high doses, especially with liver failure, will yield a nice yellowish cream atop a sample left still for a short

    Paid more than perm staff nurses?

    RN Randy replied to redshott's topic in Travel

    Hey, do the math for me.... I'm thinking of local travel and I already drive 54 miles to work at the closest place. I own my home and curious of the travel pay, taxes and benefits of local travel....

    Possible strike at MGH

    RN Randy replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    Mercy... that doesn't sound like your everyday strike at all... sounds like the makings of a door closing... Hope that doesn't happen.

    Possible strike at MGH

    RN Randy replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, you're right... If you hear anything, post up and I'll do the same. Hey, where are you guys? I'm in Chapmanville, and work in Chas.

    ARH Strike Settled

    RN Randy replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I have to say, we pretty much agree then. I've enjoyed the discussion as well. I'm employed at a hospital, in the city, but live in the country and like my employer just as much as I would be a...

    RN Randy replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    ARH Strike Settled

    RN Randy replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I think we're on different pages. I was speaking of no one particular facility when saying mgt had trouble keeping the doors open, I'm simply saying the only unions I've been privy to,...

    ARH Strike Settled

    RN Randy replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    You're comparing apples/oranges. Yes, CAMC's management system is the poster-child for "too many Chiefs, not enough Native Americans".... Something about the good ol' boy system maybe? I dunno, but...

    ARH Strike Settled

    RN Randy replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I can't say as I've seen anything like that happen, and that does sound pretty unfair. As for me, I've been a union member several times, but only as part of medical employment and I should...

    ARH Strike Settled

    RN Randy replied to gitterbug's topic in General Nursing

    Amen. My two personal favorite phrases are: I love Jesus, it's his groupies I can't stand! and The problem isn't the union, it's the union members. I saw some of the ARH thing firsthand and was...
