1. new grad RN's in the ER

   WillsRN replied to jenny lynn's topic in Flight

   There's probably a good argument to be made either way but I still hold that if your goal is in one particular area you should focus on that solely. Whats wrong with a new grad starting a surgery or icu or any other specialty internship?

2. refusing to care for clients

   WillsRN replied to Carolyn M's topic in Med-Surg

   Sharon.. Sorry if I sound a bit harsh so I apologize in advance to you and those like you. You sound like a thoughtful,skilled, compassionate nurse who has had a very laudable career and are now paying a very high price for all your dedication. Its j...

   WillsRN replied to Carolyn M's topic in Med-Surg

   You can quote all the theories you want and they are just that, theories, peoples unproven ideas. If you are a health care provider you are required by law to provide reasonable care to any one in need regardless of your personal beliefs, religion, c...

7. MICU Wages

   WillsRN replied to LRichardson's topic in MICU

   In Raleigh NC and areawide,it doesn't matter where you work or how much training you have. They feed all the hogs out of the same trough and the same slop. Even flight nurses make the same as a med/surg nurse. Does anyone have the suspicion that the...

8. International Escort Flights

   WillsRN replied to TTTracy's topic in Flight

   Yeah, it happens almost every international flight. Funny thing is most of the time doctors will not identify themselves as such and let you do all the dirty work. Last summer I had a critical but stable patient aboard an Olympic Air flight going to ...

9. Flight nurses

   WillsRN replied to MQ Edna's topic in Flight

   Well, the way it was explained to me at university was that nurses had to identify a scientificly measurable process to base their work on in order to be considered 'professional' and that became the "nursing process". What we have in reality is a lo...

10. Flight nurses

    WillsRN replied to MQ Edna's topic in Flight

    The first thing I think nursing in the 90's and beyond needs is to unload thatwhole"nursing process" garbage they stress in grad school. I see it as devisive between nurses and other professionals. They (others) see it as a bunch of prima donnas tryi...

    My opinion is that you should learn to weather the flak you get in the ED and keep learning and not let anyone deter you from your goal. Its reasonable to go from new grad to ER if you want. You can go from new grad to any other specialty everywhere ...
