  1. OT For the Last Four Hours of a 12 Hour Shift in Palm Springs?

    2ndCareerRN replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    Not quite true. As with any rule or law pertaining to wages there are exemptions. Some can apply to nurses. The best place to look is the CA DOL website for the rules. Here is a place that does a fair...

    2ndCareerRN replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    While out getting books, pick up a copy of "We Band of Angels". It tells about the military nurses that were taken prisioner at the fall of Bataan (Phillipines). From the back cover: "As Bataan and...

  4. Re- mariage is over

    2ndCareerRN replied to nurse07's topic in International Nursing

    It can be that type of place. It can also be a place where you are ridiculed. It is a public board, as such there are many different people that use it. With the information in the OP there is little...

  6. Should patients receive their gallstones?

    2ndCareerRN replied to MsHB's topic in Operating Room

    No, you have to be culturally aware about your patient's beliefs. Many Native American patients want their parts back so they can be buried on native land. A very simple request, and one that should...

  7. ICU nurse managers lack of support.......

    2ndCareerRN replied to melrey11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Perhaps the NM is a little dissapointed in hiring you in the first place. It seems that you took this job knowing it would be very short term without letting the NM know. Perhaps she feels betrayed...

  8. Should patients receive their gallstones?

    2ndCareerRN replied to MsHB's topic in Operating Room

    Why not, it is theirs isn't it? If not needed for patho then the patient should have the right to request their parts back. If needed for patho, there should be a way to give the patient the parts not...

  9. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

    2ndCareerRN replied to Brian's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Good deal. If you want to be treated as a professional, why not require what is considered a professional degree. In just about every field I can think of that is a bachelor's , and in some cases a...

  11. Drug Seeking Behaviors?

    2ndCareerRN replied to JLN1129's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What has already been said. Go to your primary care physician for your pain management. The ER is NOT the place that should be accessed for the management of chronic pain.

    2ndCareerRN replied to tknrn's topic in Emergency

    Those things are phsician skills, but the ER nurse needs to know how they are performed so the they don't just stand there while they are being performed. Part of teamwork is being able to anticipate...

  14. Skills in the We

    2ndCareerRN replied to tknrn's topic in Emergency

    I wish we had a CT, the closest one is 60 minutes away by ground. If we think it is bad we will call the helicopter. One is 40 min away, but often can't get over the montains, the other is 1 hour away...

  15. Misdiagnaosed to have Hep C

    2ndCareerRN replied to game over's topic in General Nursing

    So a week of emotional torment and now you want to sue. I am almost speechless, but not quite. I think you should be thankful that the first test was a false positve and move on and try to enjoy...

  16. Skills in the We

    2ndCareerRN replied to tknrn's topic in Emergency

    How are they to demonstrate competency in emergency situations if they have never been in that environment before. I think a better solution is to develop a comprehensive education program to ensure...

    2ndCareerRN replied to PhilRoman's topic in Government, Military

    Oh Phil, I believe you just joined the ranks of many who were not really lied to, but maybe the whole truth was not told to. Use your time wisely, bust buns, apply for officer programs, apply for...

  18. Australian Flag Unwelcome In Florida!

    2ndCareerRN replied to Grace Oz's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, it is not hatred that causes these people to object to the Australian flag. It is "the rules". In America there is a terrible ruling body called "The Homeowners Association" (herewith known...

    2ndCareerRN replied to gambroRN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  22. What would your EMS have done??

    2ndCareerRN replied to ernurse2244's topic in Emergency

    I think the answer to this will vary from crew to crew. If elderly, the chances are they will call in and have the pt pronounced. If a younger person, or a sudden death, esp with family present, they...
