   I'm not sure how your facility is but when I worked in LTC we scanned meds and I don't recall having to give heparin. In the hospital we scan meds, and we use different syringes for insulin and...

2. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

   Butterflyxx0621 replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

   I would only ever leave a position if something else is lined up first, and I'm only willing to leave for the *right* job. I have applied a few places that are of actual interest rather than taking...

   Butterflyxx0621 replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

   I have tried searching high and low! I live in a very small area (there's 2 hospitals in our whole county). I've tried looking into insurance companies, the biggest in our area is high mark blue cross...

4. Thoughts on calling an RR?

   Butterflyxx0621 replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

   Yes I work on PCU. We did call the supervisor to let her know, she was actually on the floor with us at that point. Mandatory staff to respond is the NS, hospitalist, ICU charge nurse, and...

5. Thoughts on calling an RR?

   Butterflyxx0621 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'll try to make this as brief as possible. I had a frequent flyer who was in with CHF exacerbation and a fib with RVR, who had just been discharged the day before for a GI bleed. Was taken off...

   What do you do ? It seems like the only non bedside positions available in my area are case management and I do not have the 5 years RN experience they

7. Acute care vs. office nursing, which do you prefer?

   Butterflyxx0621 replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

   I thought I'd like 12's but I rarely get to work 3 on 4 off as I would like. The draw for me to the office is that I'd have the same schedule as my husband whereas right now we are not off together...

8. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

   Butterflyxx0621 replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

   The only thing open is CDU and ED, which I considered CDU but they close often/are put on call and I wouldn't want to have to constantly use my PTO just to have a paycheck. I do keep looking

   Butterflyxx0621 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Those of you who have worked both acute care and office nursing, which do you prefer and why ? I am currently working on a cardiac step down unit but have an interview for a cardiologists office this...

10. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    Butterflyxx0621 replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

    It is the nurse manager, who I spoke to. That's the one who said they print out a report to look at the shifts and they would take another look, which is how I ended up getting off the Sunday after...

11. Would you leave your current position over scheduling issues?

    Butterflyxx0621 replied to Butterflyxx0621's topic in General Nursing

    The thing is we get a print out of our schedule along with everyone else's on it.... So we can see first hand who is and isn't doing their required shifts. There are very few (probably 5) out of 30...

    Butterflyxx0621 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted some helpful advice. I have been a nurse for 4 years, I've been working at my current job at the hospital for about a little less than a year. I Don't like all the weekends and...

13. Question about 12 hr shifts that are overnight

    Butterflyxx0621 replied to Ggraf's topic in General Students

    I have never heard of a program requiring over night shifts, though I suppose it's possible. When I was in clinical, the latest we finished was around 5. On the floor I work on, the latest we have...

15. Is My Pay Really That Bad???

    Butterflyxx0621 replied to Nurse_Lightning's topic in Travel

    People say cost of living determines wage but where I live this is sooo not true. I live in this weird cross between farmland and the beach. So because we are rural and also a resort town our cost of...
