  1. First job in ER, new grad

    I had to laugh... "3 weeks" They better offer much more time then that. I am going round and round right now with my directors because as a new grad I was given a department orientation of 12 weeks. No class room, no scenario based studies, just ba...
  2. Seeing The Letters 'RN' With New Eyes

    You are truly an inspiration, an outstanding example of the kind of RN I want to be!
  3. what nursing journals do you read as an ED nurse?

    Both of these I read as well....
  4. Camera phones in the ER

    We, the hospital I work in, do have policies against taking pictures in our ED or the hospital in general. If you take my picture without my permission, watch out. I wont be pushed around by anyone. It's time nurses stand up for themselves and stop a...
  5. ED protocols that include zofran?

    We do give it prior to MD visit. Especially if they are waiting longer after triage, we don't need them vomiting all over the lobby and spreading whatever nasty they have, plus it helps with our over all scores when they get their survey .
  6. Your state's "preferred" ED credentials?

    We must have BLS, ACLS, PALS, ENPC and TNCC. Someone at work the other night used the term "Level 1 trauma center", funny thing is we have no surgeons on duty, just on call. We aren't labeled Lvl 1 but we take anything and everything.
  7. Am I too old to be new in the ER?

    43 here... just started in the ed jan 08, i love it, i just hate the drive there and back.
  8. Pediatric Emergency Room Nursing

    So... How did it go? I am sure they will want you, there aren't alot of ED pediatric RN's who leave and go to other ED's. I want to do peds as well in after a couple years where I am. We see a ton of kids anyway, so I have the best of both worlds....
  9. Lavage and the GI bleed

    Do you work with me? LOL... I love this.
  10. It finally happened!!

    I am a brand new RN, graduated in May 07, and new ED RN. I have been working in the ED about 9 weeks now and the other day I noticed things are starting to click. I pretty much hit the floor running at 7am. My preceptor checks my charting, if some...
  11. Announcement-From_RG, Any Parents or anyone else!

    Congratulations!!! :dncgbby::dncgbby: I was told by a close friend "It's not enough to be a good dad, PLEASE be a good example!"
  12. Teaching hospitals vs others

    I am in my first year and on my second job. Reason was my wife relocated for her career. Both of my orientations have been 12 weeks. Now that being said, my first was a med/surg unit at a very large teaching hospital. It was fantastic, work was ...
  13. Done with ED Orientation...

    mine asks for 12 months. See, they put a ton of money into training you. Basically they paid 2 RN's, you and your preceptor to do the job of one RN, and any educational classes you had to attend, ACLS, PALS, TNCC and so on. We figured my costs of ...
  14. "simma Down Na''

    The whole skit makes fun of everyone, SNL doesn't leave anyone out, including the sub-culture of people I belong too. When I actually saw this on SNL I thought I was gonna bust a gut. I have to laugh at myself once in a while, I know someone some wh...
  15. Just got a JOB in the ER as a NEW GRAD SOOO EXCITED!!!

    Congratulations..... I just wish you could be more enthusiastic, especially when you hit the floor!!!:w00t: I just started in the ED about 3 weeks ago, and things are feeling a little better today.... Good luck!
