All joking aside, you have not been watching the riots. Everybody should train and carry. You are negligent if you don't.

What does this mean? The little toys? Handguns? Who talks about playing with them? The hospital people? LOL. And if you carry for self defense, do you carry the big toys?

We would not be comfortable with you carrying either... if you are not comfortable.

I conceal carry... am on security team at church... but have not brought it into my work as it is not permitted. I do, however, park my truck rather close in case of an emergency and have a plan worked out in my mind if every needed.

As a Christian RN, it is firmly my belief that God chooses us, not that we choose Him. With that in mind, my main focus is to ensure that all my patients... Christian or otherwise... leave this world as comfortable as possible... spiritually as well as physically. If they are meant to know about my faith, they will ask... if they are not, they will not ask and I will live my faith but not verbalize it to them. God will provide opportunities if He wants to.

I am a former Vocollect/AccuNurse clinical specialist. I was one who help train and set-up AccuNurse in facilities in Texas. After I was trained, we moved to Texas to take over accounts in Texas and then Vocollect was bought by a larger company and they layed off multiple new employees including me... despite all the money they invested in training me... caught me by surprise... worked for about a month after my training was complete and I loved the company and my fellow clinicians. I believe the model works well with people/clinicians that are inclined to take their job/career seriously. I don't think it works well with people/clinicians that are inherently lazy and lackluster. After I left AccuNurse I became DON for a rehabilitation facility in Texas that used AccuNurse and with my background and training was able to get documentation and useage up pretty well. Where we failed was in keeping track of the devices... nurses and CNA alike failed to take it as seriously as they should and people moving from one hall to another without returning their device to the hall they checked it out on made it very hard to track the devices... I left this company a few years back and it has probably gotten better since then. Overall it is a great company that should be the standard in the industry if they can get the clinicians to take it seriously.
