  1. Commitment is commitment. If you can't handle it in a professional manner, you should consider giving up the commitment.
  2. Calling a Code

    In my hospital, aids are encouraged to call a code if they even think it should be called. They would much rather prefer to be safe than sorry.
  3. DUI suspect gets $15,000 for forced catheterization

    There is no way I would forcefully cath an adult male for such a thing. Let his probation officer deal with the consequences of violating the terms.
  4. Reviews.....Ugh

    So I just had my bi annual review and I'm left confused and quite frustrated. Let me first say I'm a very hard worker. I get my work done, I don't leave a mess for others and I find myself quite confident in my work abilities. I get along with everyo...
  5. Guilt/Frustration Missing Work

    I'm sorry guys for the confusion! I got it on Monday, was supposed to work Tuesday and Saturday/Sunday, so it's more like 5/6 days off! I'm hoping this will be enough for me not to get sick again.
  6. Guilt/Frustration Missing Work

    This might sound awfully silly, but it's what I'm feeling at the moment. On Monday, I was in the ER for the day with double severe pneumonia. I was on IV's for a few hours and sent home with antibiotics for 10 days. It was one of the worse experience...
  7. Don't get my wrong, I LOVE my job. Love love love. I adore coming to work but we have all had those days where it's your 3rd or 4th 12 in a row (sometimes 5th or 6th! Ha!) and the minutes are just dragging. You can't help but look at the clock every ...
  8. Flu after Immunization????

    Yup. Definitely.
  9. Going to school for four years does not mean you have more experience nor skill than a simple MA. A degree does not mean you are necessarily competent. It means you have a piece of paper. I think it was a tad rude of you to say that just because you ...
  10. Ever been stalked by a patient?

    I carry mace on my key chain at all times, with it in my hand, finger on the trigger when alone in these types of areas. I suggest you consider the same.
  11. First name or surname?

    I am here to provide medical care in a professional and safe manner. I am also here to protect myself. If someone finds me unprofessional due to a lack of revealing my last name, disregarding the heart I put into my work and professionalism in that ...
  12. Peds Or Adult Stethescope?

    The kiddos love them though. Anything to keep them distracted is awesome.
  13. Peds Or Adult Stethescope?

    I have one of those now, but I really wanted one of these http://www.allmed.net/catalog/category/220 there are a few nurses who have them and they look so cute. Seem to work well too.
  14. How nasty!!

    Everyone I work with is awesome about hand hygiene, thank god! That's nasty!
  15. Peds Or Adult Stethescope?

    I work in a large peds hospital in the ER. Typically, I see patients in the age range of newborns to around 8ish. Sometimes we get adults or teens. I want to invest in a nice stethescope and I'm debating whether or not to get an adult one or a peds o...
