   LittleTwinStars posted a topic in Texas

   Not sure if I can post here, but Traditions Health is looking for home health staff, particularly LVNs, for the Houston area and down to Galveston. The pay is good, the workplace is very healthy, you get a company car with all expenses paid that can ...

   BON being questioned

   LittleTwinStars replied to rnpatrick's topic in Activism

   Any state that has the yee-haw "tough on crime" mindset loves cracking down on nurses by using the slippery slope argument of the killer neurosurgeon in Dallas. They don't see how toxic and petty most reports are.

   Entitled Nurses

   LittleTwinStars replied to Kate_Peds's topic in Activism

   Florence Nightingale herself said, "The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower." Empty cups cannot give, and self preservation is not selfi...

   Nursing's Dr Fauci!

   Are there any nurses in very prominent positions as advisors? Cori Bush of the Congressional House of Representatives comes to mind as a good candidate.

   Best 3/4 Sleeve Shirts For Under Scrubs!

   LittleTwinStars posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I need to wear 3/4 sleeve shirts under my scrubs, as I get cold easily and I don't like rolled up long sleeves falling down. Over a decade ago, I bought a bunch of 3/4 sleeve boatneck knit tops from Old Navy, but they have long gone threadbare or hav...

   I'm Quiet Sometimes, Not Bipolar!

   LittleTwinStars posted a topic in Relations

   I just started a new night shift ICU job, and got to know my coworkers. Fast forward a few shifts. I'm tired from consecutive shifts, there are less questions for me to ask, and I'm concentrating on my work. I said "Not now please, I'm trying to stab...

   Growth Opportunities at a Small Hospital?

   LittleTwinStars posted a topic in Nursing

   I just started an ICU job at a small hospital in the suburbs. My previous job wasn't TSICU, but definitely acute with lots of sepsis and withdrawal cases that taught me to think on my feet. In my new job there's an ER and ICU, but neither are acute m...

    Hunter Green, Stretchy, Bilateral Cargo Pocket Scrubs?

    LittleTwinStars posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    My new job requires hunter green scrubs, which already kind of limits brands available. My favorite scrub line (Radiance Flex) does not carry this color, can only be found in a few stores, and is being discontinued . I know that Cherokee makes hunter...

    Pre-employment drug testing; urine vs hair

    LittleTwinStars replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Nursing

    I've never been hair tested, and I think it's only done to confirm a history. I've only done urine. From what I've heard about hair, they pull out a hair rather than cut off a chunk. Don't worry, and drink plenty of water before the drug test.

    What do you think? My mother is told she is a drug addict by her primary care physician

    LittleTwinStars replied to lhome's topic in Nursing

    Ugh, what a privileged jerk. I don't usually wish pain on others, but I think that people like that could use a bout of kidney stones, a back labor, a broken bone, a throbbing back muscle sprain, etc. to give perspective and hopefully empathy. I onc...

    Anyone ever have to give report to that one nurse who's grouchy all the time?

    LittleTwinStars replied to Littleguccipiggy's topic in Professionalism

    My rules of report time: 1) If you are being unbearably rude, then I won't take or give report until you are able to act civilly. I can wait. 2) If I am giving you report, please don't constantly interrupt with questions. You are filling out your bla...
