  1. Medication issue

    At will employers can fire you for no reason at all, get a lawyer to handle your unemployment. You probably will not get unemployment. Do not be surprised. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com
  2. Would you even consider a candidate who was terminated?

    I have experienced the same problem, if every nurse is MSN and PhD who is going to do the bedside care? Bullying is pervasive and is an epidemic in nursing with absolutely no recourse for the nurse being affected. I hate nursing and have been unemp...
  3. The Unwritten Laws Nurse Managers Live By

    Exactly, I would never have imagined being 13 years experienced, using micro sick time, working tons of overtime. Come in at the last minute, got along extremely well with all of my co workers, but because my manager and I had personality differenc...

  5. Has anyone been to Glynco GA for training? What kind of free time do you get? Do you rent a car once you are there? What kind of money should you carry with you (amount)? How many people were in your taining?:)
  6. IV Phenergan and Toradol "Push"

    Phenergan should never never never be given without a running IV or at least diluted in nss. I have made it a habit of diluting all my push pain meds and antiemetics in at least a 10cc nss syringe. ( expel the amount you are going to add). Toradol...
  7. IV starts and drawing blood

    Believe it or not, you can actually start an IV as small as a 24 gauge and use a device from Kendall tyco/healthcare called an Angel Wing attached to your extension set to draw blood. DO NOT FLUSH YOUR EXTENSION set first and draw only your essentia...

    I work in a small ER. I am wondering who transports the patients in your hospitals to the radiology depatment in your hospital? Do they take your patient off the monitor? Do they put them back on the monitor when they return the to the room? What a...
  9. An interesting policy

    Having worked ER for many years this should be standard poicy in ALL ER's. All experienced ER nurses and ER MD's will tell you how big a problem RX pain medication addiction has become. Acute exacerbation is different from abuse, as the policy stat...
  10. New Grad Program at Hershey Medical Center

    I too worked at Geisnger and highly recommend it. Absolutely loved my time in the trauma center, the nurses their were the most professional I have come across. If it would not have been for the price of gas I would still be working there, but due ...
  11. Triage Rules / Rants

    the problem with the er wait times is that no matter what, you cannot educate the people that need educating about the abuse of the system. i love it when you ask the patient about why they did not call their doctor before coming to the er and they...
  12. Haldol and Ativan cocktail IV

    Okay have been working in small ER over one year. I cannot remember How often and the maximum dose you can give of H and A. The larger ER I used to work 2 years ago that saw quite a bit of psych, used to start with 10mg Haldol and 2mg Ativan, then ev...
  13. Need advice from seasoned RN's

    I am a seasoned nurse. Seasoned ED nurse, my advice is, start in your basic medical surgical floor and learn the things that you did not learn in school, which are many. ED nursing is very specialized, don't let the above poster fool you. I have p...
  14. Did I do the wrong thing!!!

    You did the right thing, it would have been a violation of privacy practices. The contact person named can only be notified in the case of emergency, when the nex of kin or guardians cannot be reached. I learned this lesson the hard way.
