Hi, This is my first post so forgive my indiscreations. My name is John and I have been a Nurse for 12 yrs. + 5 yrs. MILITARY. I will be moving soon to the area and I am looking for the best place to work. I have been a TELEMETRY Nurse for 12 yrs. and love the PCU(progressive care unit) setting, but have floated and/or worked most Critical Care settings. I am BLS & ACLS current until 2006. I am the shift preceptor, mentor, un-official educator, and all around "go to" guy. I am a charge nurse when needed. I want to work at a hospital that will give me the freedom to take care of my patients and not have to put up with to much of the politics. I may be interested in a TEAM LEADER/EDUCATOR position. I bring an ATTITUDE to the floor and will not tolerate gross incompetence or negligence(this is life and death not "sewing on buttons", you screw up someone dies). I work hard but my family will always come first. I enjoy "old school" blue collar blood and guts nursing and will work overtime at least once a 2 week pay period. Can anyone suggest a hospital in the Raleigh/Fuquay-Varina area? I am looking for pay rates, sign on bonus, moving bonus and shift diff. Thanks in advance for the "heads up" and I hope we can work togeather soon.---------------John "I don't need no walls around me....and I don't need no drugs to calm me....."
