  1. Essentials of Critical Care Orientation (ECCO)

    I have also just started the ecco modules. I concur. The material is too advanced to cram it all in in a few hours and pass a test with an 80% at the end. WAY too much clicking back and forth. The test questions were overly complicated and didn't see...

  3. Hanging up the scrubs.

    I worked in the ER for a short time. I came out of there a strong RN with a great set of skills but yes, the problems got to me, too and I became kind of calloused and judgemental way too fast. it bothered me enough that I left the ER. I'm glad I did...

  10. Struggling in LTC

    Thanks for the advice. You are right. I'll just go by the book and take my time. I never thought of that-it's not my fault if the pt ratio is too high for me to get meds passed on time. Oh, I would like to add that i got 2 days of training. My first ...
