  1. New England OR Assignment Suggestion

    I did Lahey Medical Center in Boston & St. Vincent's in Bridgeport, Connecticut. They were both great! Bridgeport was right by the train station so I could be in Grand Central Station in NYC in 40...
  2. How to apply pressure?

    Depends on where the looping is. If I can feel/see the loop forming I apply pressure there. If I can’t, my go-to areas are the sigmoid & across the transverse. In thin women with multiple abd...
  3. Do you simethicone?

    We use to add it to our irrigation bottles but it’s been advised we no longer do that. So now we just draw it up in a syringe & flush on demand. We don’t really have a specific concentration...

    I really like UW Hospital Northwest. I actually enjoyed it so much I went back a year or so later & did another assignment there. The first time I lived in Maplewood & the second time in...

  9. Canceled Contract

    I understand the orientation days are usually non-negotiable but I've never heard the part about the agency/hospital contracts being completely separate.... I understand that there is a nurse-agency...
  10. Gypsy/Nomad RNs - Tips and Experience?

    There are a couple Facebook sites devoted to RV travel nursing. I don't think it would ever work for me. I'm scared of driving/parking one of those things. Plus I tend to gravitate towards big...
  11. I agree w/the above post. Only in a few circumstances have I had to give more than the 1 mg. In those situations they were pretty bad bleeds & we were moving fast. During intervals in injecting I...
  12. How can I avoid this scenario?

    Yeah....good idea. I should have told the first agency that since I hadn't heard back I had moved
  13. How can I avoid this scenario?

    So...weird scenario last week. I work w/several agencies & am in the process of looking at options for assignment #5. I was using two agencies (A & B) for this posting. This is what happened:...
  14. 1 yr. mark!

    You're correct! I've been surprised to learn in the past year how scarce endo travelers are. I guess we tend to stay put. :) I don't know how pay compares to some of the really hot specialties but...
