  1. night shift question

    I did nights for about 9 months. It was terrible. I was sick all the time and I started having blood sugar issues where even though I was eating every 2 hours my sugar would drop to 50s and 60s. Then my period was 3 months late and I wasn't pregnant ...
  2. How to handle pregnancy

    All shots are up to date except Flu shot. I never get it as I seem to be immune to it. I get the flu if I get it and I get the flu if I don't lol. I never had chicken pox but had the vaccine as a kid. I had all my titers drawn for my new job and they...
  3. ER computer programs

    I just left a hospital where we used Medhost and now I'm at a hospital that uses IBEX.. I think medhost was much more user friendly and flowed better.
  4. How to handle pregnancy

    So I just found out I'm pregnant. I have a drs appt tomorrow for blood work etc. By my calculation I'm about 6 weeks. How do you handle it in the ED??? Is there patient's I should avoid?? With all the portable xrays and stuff going off I'm almost par...
  5. Peer interview

    So I've been working full-time in my current ED position for about 9 months. I applied for a part-time position at an ED closer to home for some extra money and figuring I could learn more but working a bit more. I got the call back for an interview ...

    for the first year I did
  7. Leave first job because of rotating?

    I'm actually considering something similar. I worked tele for 8 months and found a dream ED opportunity. It was a middle shift which is what I really wanted. Well I started the ED and at the end of orientation they put me on nights instead. This was ...

  9. specialty change??

    So I'm currently an ER nurse. I like it but I don't love it like I thought I would. I've been in the position for 7 months. Ever since I went to nursing school I've wanted to be a NICU RN. Well my ER is changing our shifts around to a block schedule ...
  10. Pregnant ER nurse

    I wish you luck in your pregnancy. Sadly I became one of those women who was prepped for a D&E. At our first ultrasound at 12 weeks we found out baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. It was a bump in our road of trying to conceive and sometimes I wond...
  11. How did you switch to ED nursing?

    I was a new grad who went right into tele in June of 2010. I found I got bored. It seemed to be the same thing over and over. I was an EMT prior to an RN so I think I'm an adrenaline junkie, for lack of a better term :) I made the switch to the ER in...
  12. Methotrexate??

    Maybe sorry is the right word. I know there was nothing I could have done given that was the order I was given. She was very much devastated and I had to give her bad news twice. I felt awful. I had a missed miscarriage in May so I know how it feels ...
  13. Methotrexate??

    I just wanted general opinions on methotrexate and what your stance is on giving it. I had a situation where I work that my patient had been trying to conceive for 12 years. Finally did naturally only to be told she had an ectopic at 7 weeks. I get i...
