Welcome LA! I'm from NA and we're got a prison (North AR Central Unit) located here also. I visited the dispensary during pill call one day to check things out for possible employment...a whole new ballgame vs. working at the local hospital. Glad you enjoy it, I kinda prefer ER!

Anyone from northwest arkansas that wants to chat about psych patient placement availability? The police just bring to ED, then they go to SICU or the MS floor with a sitter right next to some ped patient or very ill patient. There has got to be a better way and place to treat this troubled souls///

Hello, I'm Jana and I have been an RN since 1983 and worked OB-Level II Nursery all that time. I was a nursery nurse manager for 11 years but for the past 12 years have worked as a staff nurse on night shift (7P-7A) and LOVE it (SO much less stress)! I am at a community hospital near Little Rock and a Razorback fan!
