1. Float ICU RN to Med-Surg?

   mturner88 replied to mturner88's topic in Safety

   I went with the ANA code of ethics with the right to refuse an unsafe assignment. Out of my comfort zone or not, its not safe. The have their nurses on orientation and should do the same with any outside agency.

2. Float ICU RN to Med-Surg?

   mturner88 replied to mturner88's topic in Safety

   This is my second travel contract and I've never been told to float to med-surg. Had they offered me an orientation then maybe but my license is more important to me than a temporary contact. I can see how much of a disservice it can be to a med-sur...

3. Float ICU RN to Med-Surg?

   mturner88 replied to mturner88's topic in Safety

   So you're saying that its safe for the patient to go on a unit with no orientation because the patients are low acuity?

8. ANYONE else having a HORRIBLE education experience???

   mturner88 replied to gemini81sg's topic in Wisconsin

   Hello Intuition, Because the program is new (2.5yrs or so) there is extreme disorganization. They are making changes and do not notify us of changes until the first day of class. However, the changes that they have made for the incoming cohorts are a...

9. 2 years Part-time for BA/full time in ICU enough for CRNA program requirments?

   mturner88 replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in CRNA

   To my understanding is that your experience will still count even though you do not have your BSN yet. You just have to have your BSN to apply for the school. So your 2 years is still 2 years of experience.

    I have to meet with the nurse manager at Aurora to take a Nurse Extern II position in their NSICU, would anyone have experience in this area? I know they have patients with strokes and brain trauma but I'm looking for a little more info to the all o...

11. rude nurses

    mturner88 replied to sziq1's topic in General Students

    Its sad how some nurses seem to "forget" that they were once students themselves. I have had encounters with rude nurses and fabulous nurses who LOVE students. Just continue to smile in their face. When you get on the floor as a full-time RN, you'...

    This is what I found for you. This arm is pretty expensive! Scroll down until you find the IV training arm once you get to the page. Hope this helps. I searched by "IV training manikin." http://www.cpr-savers.com/Industrials/Cpr%20prod/cpr%20manikins...

    Thank you! I admit that I am extremely nervous because I find ICU to be overwhelming but I am ready for the challenge.

14. 2 years Part-time for BA/full time in ICU enough for CRNA program requirments?

    mturner88 replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in CRNA

    How much experience do you have to have to be a good CRNA. Most of the blogs that I have read from CRNA's is that sometimes: "What I might confess, however, is that 5 years of acute care experience may not be enough to facilitate a smooth and safe t...

    mturner88 replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in CRNA

    I want to also be a CRNA eventually but I was talking to my A&P teacher last year about it and he stated that its best to have at least 5 years experience before entering an Anesthesiology school. You normally need at least 5 - 7 years critcal c...
