Hey, just curious, does anyone know anything about San Antonio Community Hospital in Upland, California? I am interested because I was thinking of applying to their ER as per diem and don't know anyone who has worked there. Any info would be great!

Just curious...I am trying to get an initial certification in BTLS and cannot find any available courses here in Southern California. Does anyone know of any or where I might have luck searching?? Thanks for the help....

Well, I have an ADN and I make exactly the same amount as my BSN counterparts. Go figure!

I say go for it. I started fresh out of school with zero experience in hospitals at all other than our required clinicals. I work in a level 1 trauma center, we see 100,000 + patients per year and we are constantly running. I hated the ER in school a...

Okay, I know that this sounds pretty harsh but I say it one way when they refuse, " you will take report on this patient or I will be up to give you bed side report in 15 minutes, you choose which way you would like this". I work in a level 1 trauma ...

I AGREE!!! I love my job, I would not work in any other department if I had the choice. I am tired of nurses in other units assuming that we ER nurses "rush the patients to the floor right at shift change". It is shift change for us too and no one ma...

MRSA Poo isn't as bad as C-Diff Poo. It's like jelly, and the smell is putrid. The face is located under the smiley menu, just scroll down... hehehe

I work in Trauma in a major trauma center. I have seen it all. Literally. I can take puke, GSW, stabbings, broken bones, burns,pee, sputum, I have even seen maggots-yes, maggots crawling outta someone's rectum, and the only thing that still causes me...

Well, what kind of information are you looking for specifically What area are you interested in? I used to work there so I know a bit.

Don't let them freak you out. I worked tele right out of school. The first 6 weeks or so were very stressful because you have to really fine tune your assessments skills and being able to juggle time management issues but after that it was okay. Ever...

Hello everyone! I am a relatively new nurse. I graduated from college a triple major, Math, Nursing and Administration of Justice. I am interested in the possibility of becoming a nurse for the local Sheriff's Department here in California. Here is m...

Well, I actually have a leather "fanny pack". I keep the following items: 1. Pocket PC of course 2. at least three bottles of flush 3. at least 4 empty flush syringes 4. 2 tournaquets 5. tons of alcohol pads 6. a plethora of 2 x 2's 7. 2 of each: 16 ...

I live in California and I went to a JC and we used cadavers there. Our school had to go through hell to get them but we get 2 a year. I took the class and it was amazing! Most incredible experience in my life. I definitely recommend it. You cannot p...

I purchased the "light" and I hated it. It sucked in fact. I couldn't have heard a bomb go off on that thing. I decided to really upgrade and order the Master Cardiology and LOVE IT!!!! :yelclap: I will not use anything else! I can be in a crowded r...

Wow. You are lucky. If I was smart enough to make it through the math for the biology degree, I'd surpass crna school and just be a doc. Good luck to you!!

As a matter of fact Loma Linda University offers this degree. go to http://www.llu.edu

I just had to share this with my fellow ER/Trauma nurses. This is unreal. What are people thinking??? SCROTUM SELF-REPAIR by William A. Morton, Jr. MD taken from: Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality July 1991 ...

Change your name for sure! YOU ARE NOT A LOSER!!!! I won't let my fellow nurses talk about themselves like that!! You can do anything you want. It is true that people will see through the exterior. Your personality will show through. Your skills will...

Of course you can do it!!!! It sounds really intimidating because you have no background in it. Believe me, if someone would have told me 5 years ago that I was going to be a nurse, I would have told you that you should stop doing crack 'cause it kil...

You are not a baby. I can't stand when nurses eat their own. It really chaps my booty. When I was a student in school a nurse actually called me stupid and said I just don't get nursing because I refused to give a patient 100 units-yes, 100 NOT 10, b...

Too funny! I couldn't stop looking at it on line. Then for about a week I wouldn't answer my phone because I thought it was the BON to tell me they made a mistake and wanted my license back! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Oh! I almost tossed reading this! I could die! I hope to the lord I never ever ever ever see any patient eat anything that comes out of anywhere!! :barf01: I heard on this TV show one time that there is this village somewhere and there is this old la...

Too weird! I have a sticker on my car window that says that! it is the only one I have ever seen :)
