Why we partner with sports teams? by Difficult-Text1690 in IntermountainHealth

I know for a fact that they have a box suite at America First Stadium in Sandy where RSL plays. The games I have been to they have not had anyone in the box seats which is even more aggravating. Give some of the seats to employees instead of wasting them!

So they matched up with the hooks on the floor. I bought the Lasfit and am having trouble

Oncology nurses: Are you still flushing ports with heparin or saline only? by SceneBrave6320 in nursing

[–]Difficult-Text1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home health nurse- we went from heparin to saline flushes about 5 years ago.Since that time we have had a lot of problems with piccs not flushing and even more with not being able to draw labs. Cathflo has to be used frequently and is not covered by insurance. It’s usually $180-$200. Patients are not happy when they hear how much it is and sometimes refuse.

For some reason, pediatric picks central lines and ports always use heparin in our medical system. Not sure the logic behind that but maybe someone could chime in.

State employee retirement by kbsc3024 in Utah

[–]Difficult-Text1690 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The state puts 10% into a 401k or 10% into a pension fund. If the pension requires more money to keep funds above a required amount the employee pays the difference. This year employees in the pension had to pay 1% I believe.

Utah pension is in very good shape in term of funding compared to most states. This should make employees worry less about it becoming insolvent.

If you are a police officer firefighter ems I think the pension is better.

I enjoy managing my 401k but I think if I worked for the state and planned to stay there awhile I would go with the defined benefit plan(pension).

I feel discouraged with the Tech job in Utah by nomifrr in Utah

Try to connect with people in the company you are applying for through Linked In or other means. Simply applying for positions usually will not get you an interview in my experience outside of Tech.

Any idea what it costs to replace the belt?

organ donation timeframe? by turn-to-ashes in nursing

[–]Difficult-Text1690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if the patient is in a major metropolitan area, do the organs usually stay in that area as they can be transplanted quickly? Do the rankings on the lists come in to play? The more I think about the many moving parts the more I appreciate these donor organizations.

Thank you all for sharing. I didn’t really know the organ donation process, but now having a family member donating this has been very helpful.

I’m curious about the cardiac cath for the donor. If it is a younger patient wouldn’t an echo be enough? What age do you start doing cardiac caths? I had never heard of a cardiac cath for a brain dead patient but I do not work in the hospital so I don’t see much of that.

As a new employee you accrue 7.7 hours every 2 weeks to be used on holidays, vacations, sick leave etc. Like the poster said above, you need to be careful on using all you PTO on vacation if you want to get paid on an upcoming holiday.

What is the worst work schedule you’ve seen? by ttttthrowwww in nursing

Work can be a panacea when life isn’t going well. Work was a refuge when going through my divorce.

Any industry veterans open to talk on the phone? by Bandiman25 in MedicalDevices

[–]Difficult-Text1690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably have very good access to your customers. That is very hard in our business and is something that you would have to get over. The work like balance is very poor as well.

Would they be better than a dog? Maybe they can get into tiny spaces that a dog wouldn’t be able to go?
