    I've been an RN for 5 years in a variety of roles, and am now working with the ultimate goal of transitioning into leadership. I would like to step into a managerial position in the next couple of...
  5. So I have a new job at an IR department in a brand new hospital. There are 3 of us being hired, and we are the first IR nurses. We will set our own call schedules, workflow processes, and that kind...
  6. Pattern scheduling

    I just got a new job that I start in 2 months, and I was told that at this job they do pattern scheduling, 12 hours, 3 weekends a month. It was a long interview and I didn't think to ask more about...
  7. Exactly, so when we do know that someone is having a psych crisis, we prepare for the worst possible scenario. Every patient gets stripped down. No sharp cutlery, no aluminum cans. No clothes....
  8. ER nurse rotating through observation unit

    I'm considering a position at a hospital where the observation unit is considered part of the ER and the ER staff is required to staff it. The manager told me that I might be required to work in obs...
  9. Cerner EMR? Tell me allll about it

    I really like it. I have used both First Net and Surginet (specific components of Cerner) and found it easy to chart and understand. Of course, the only other EMR I used was that DOS-based horror...
  10. What is the average 2017 Colorado salary

    I'm moving to Colorado this summer and a couple of job applications have asked me what my salary is, and I'm wondering if some of the rejections are due to me asking too much. Or maybe my current rate...
  11. I'm leaving Baycare (mobile pool has no ER jobs!) and looking to pick up work at some other ED's, but don't want to to go HCA because I like keeping my license. So, nurses who work at the FH,...
  12. I'm moving to Ft. Collins in June. I'm an ED nurse with 3.5 years experience and my BSN, will have my CEN by then too if it matters. 1) How is it working at UC Health Poudre Valley and other area...

  14. Public Service Loan Forgiveness

    I'm doing it. I work for a non-profit hospital so I qualify. I do the Income Based Repayment plan and submit a form every year proving that I am a full-time employee. I will be doing it for the 3rd...
  15. Accelerated BSN Options

    I did my RN to BSN at St. Petersburg College. It's all online, only 4 semesters, and it got the job done. It's pretty cheap, too, and SPC offers a good amount of scholarships. It's accredited and all...
  16. Moving to Clearwater/Tampa Area

    I'd avoid HCA, but Baycare is a good hospital system. The only trauma hospital in the system is in Tampa, St. Joe's, and it's only level 2. You'd be closer to Morton Plant, which is high acuity but no...
  17. Pinellas Graduate Nurse...what to do?

    I'd try to work for Baycare. I worked HCA as a new grad, and work for Baycare now, and there is a large difference in support and administration's priorities. Frankly put, HCA does not staff...
  18. Largo Medical Center- Clearwater Job offer

    I wanted to add that working night shift is your best bet. It's hard on your body but the nurses on nights (in my experience at this hospital) were friendlier, less drama, less cliques. Also, day...
  19. Largo Medical Center- Clearwater Job offer

    It's a pretty ****** hospital. I used to work on 4d (ortho) and floated to 3 and while I worked with a ton of great nurses, they were consistently understaffed, especially with cnas. What floor were...
  20. PARAMEDICS IN THE ED...Do you have them????

    At my ER, every nurse has 5 patients and a partner, that partner is either a patient care tech, emt ,or paramedic. They all basically do the same things (toileting/bed changes/EKG, labs), but...
  21. So, I have a bachelor's degree in a non-medical field from years ago, and an ADN in Nursing. My hospital is requiring all ADN nurses to achieve their BSN in the next few years, but it seems foolish to...
  22. planned parenthood surgical RNs

    I do it. I worked there as an MA for seven years before I became an RN, and support abortion rights as an important and natural part of women's health care. I either assist the doctor during the...

    Hi, I'm considering traveling as an ER nurse starting sometime in the end of 2015. Where I currently live and work it is absolutely necessary to have a car and my current one is a piece of crap. It...
