  1. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    It works. Passed after 75 questions.
  2. Tell me if this is the norm in your er!

    Funny.....the people most qualified and most experienced to suture in my ER are the medics. I would trust them with my life.
  3. ED nurse with herniated disk needs advice in changing career...

    What about advice nursing? I work in a fast paced clinic with some amazing RNs who act as advice nurses, many of whom are old (not age wise..you know what I mean) ER nurses. As for me...I am going back to ER. But when I graduate with my RN...advic...
  4. What's the best "starter" Stethoscope

    ULTRASCOPE!!!!! It is sooo much better than a Littmann (in my opinion) and I am hard of hearing at times...lol (older age). Plus it has a LIFETIME warranty...seriously. Every couple of years, I order new tubing with earpieces for $7 to cover s/h a...
  5. So true. I know when I am in the patient role, I want to be able to understand my providers and I want to feel confident that we are all on the same page. Words mean different things in different languages, so i feel it is a valid concern. It does...
  6. Seriously?!

    Not to toot my own horn, or at least terribly bad, but I am a pretty damn good nurse. I have worked as an LPN for the last 6 years. My experience includes Med/Surg, Ortho, Urgent care, and for the most part ER!!!! I got involved in the ER rather q...
  7. ER nurses wear "biggirl panties"

    AMEN!!! God love us pit nurses!!! And we wouldn't dream of doing anything else!! I jump into my big girl panties, not one leg at a time, but both!!
  8. Help Please!!

    LOL...that is funny.
  9. Rules for the ER (long)

    Got one to add: If you are going to fake a seizure...do it right....seriously at least pee in your pants and don't get caught casually lying down before you start convulsing. It's embarrassing...and to the kid that did it once on my career...it real...
  10. What's the weirdest baby name?

    True story: They call her BG for Baby Girl. :icon_roll
  11. Help Please!!

    Too funny!!! I wonder how many will say, "I will NOT go down there!" Not many can tolerate the pit like we can.
  12. What in the world? Your thoughts please?

    I agree. Take it from someone who has been there......you do not want to be their change agent. For anyone, this role sucks and you end up being miserable. Grown folks don't usually change unless they want to. For a whole floor to change, you w...
  13. Murphy's nurses laws

    ROFLMAO!!!! :chuckle Too freakin funny and true!!! I am so guilty of doing the happy dances.
  14. Help Please!!

    Sounds like you are very disgruntled. Seriously, come work with some of us in the ER. We are always looking for good help, but remember you will have to tend to more than 2 pts of all different acuity levels. Just because you get assigned to lower...
  15. Help Please!!

    Can't help but add my 2 cents. Change is hard for everyone and to top it all off, it has always seemed that nurses in specialty areas always seem the worse to budge and do things differently (myself included). We always seem to think our job is the...
