1. ED Interview

   2muchfun replied to kitty118's topic in Emergency

   You need to really think about why you want to work ER. I'm sure you will be asked. The ER environment is a very strange and different subculture of nursing. ER nurses are "different". How do you see yourself fitting in? Teamwork is ESSENTIAL. ...

2. Reducing misuse of Emergency Departments!

   2muchfun replied to hmccartn's topic in Emergency

   Gee, we must work together, same at my ER. And yes, we do miss things from time to time. Had a 48 yom w/ c/o "worst H/A of my life." Reported he sometimes had sz's w/ his h/a's. No other history, no other c/o. Arrested right there in the triage w...

   2muchfun replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

   Well, all-righty then. I find the first year resident with the dumbest inbred expression on his face and ask him if he wants to start an IV.. :rotfl:

   2muchfun replied to Ah life!'s topic in General Nursing

   One of our "male nurses" has officially changed his title (taped on badge), "NWP''.. :rotfl:

6. How many nurses do their own vitals???

   2muchfun replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

   A group of "residents"' were examining my pt for admission. (i work ER). She was pleasently confused, sitting up, alert affect and mostly appropriate in response. Suddenly, there was a big hoo-ha in the room, the residents franticly trying to find ...

7. delemma in the ER..what would you do?

   2muchfun replied to 2muchfun's topic in General Nursing

   This was one on those situations where the pt had only been admitted to the ECF for aprx 24 hrs. I remember from the telephone incomming report that her medical hx really wasn't ll that bad for a late 80's pt. I fully understand initiating the code...

8. delemma in the ER..what would you do?

   2muchfun replied to 2muchfun's topic in General Nursing

   I sincerely appreciate all the replies. As for the length of time this resident was down, that is questionable since she was A&O at the ECF at the time of the report call, about 40 min prior to arrival. I would like to think that she hadn't cod...

9. delemma in the ER..what would you do?

   2muchfun posted a topic in General Nursing

   I don't want to give too many details for pt privacy reasons. We had an ECF pt sent to the ER a few nights ago, the nurse calling report said the pt. had sustained a minor injury in a fall. A&Ox4 , late 80's, full code. When she arrived by priv...

10. Nursing Syndrome

    2muchfun replied to flaced's topic in General Students

    Why don't you ask some of your instructors? Since they have higher degrees, (and coincidentally hand out your grades), I'm sure they would be happy to oblige you .

11. What U hate about students?

    2muchfun replied to shirleyTX's topic in General Nursing

    the thing that would irritate me re: students would be the same as anyone else. Bad manners/attitude. Being a student is an aside.

12. Seasoned nurses eat their young?!

    2muchfun replied to cdaRN2004's topic in General Nursing

    ITA!! I challange anyone who thinks nursing should be the angelic do-gooder sacrifice to humanity to name ONE other career requiring a college education and high tech expertise that touts the angelic image/demeanor as a MUST on the list of qualifier...

13. Seasoned nurses eat their young?!

    2muchfun replied to cdaRN2004's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, those "high idealistic standards" should be applied to nursing practice, not improving personalities. The image of angelic nurses is the problem to begin with. Personally, I could deal with the national nursing slogan becomming, "Nurses, ...

14. Seasoned nurses eat their young?!

    2muchfun replied to cdaRN2004's topic in General Nursing

    I ain't no angel!! Hope I am never accused of it either. Nurses are "people" like everyone else, some good, bad indifferent, none perfect. I am sick to death of the high idealistic standards having nothing to do with the real world that ppl set f...

15. Low rider pants on nurses

    2muchfun replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

    Well spoken! I've never seen a pair that failed to make the wearer's ass look as wide as a barn. I've seen the same thing at my hospital. Worn with tight t-shirts that aren't quite a midriff, but tend to ride up with any movement. When you don't...
