  1. ER nurse to patient ratio

    3:1 with your own medic? That is unheard of! At mine it can vary from 3:1 in the more acute areas to 5:1. There are a total of 62 beds which includes hallways, not including trauma which is a separate area. There are usually 2-3 techs/medics per 15-2...
  2. help thinking of getting out of nursing

    That sounds like an awful work environment. I would suggest applying for hospital jobs and trying to get out of there ASAP. Be aggressive call the nurse managers of the places you are applying and vocalize your interest. Don't quit nursing because of...
  3. Is the job market better for paramedics then for nurses?

    I think one thing you should consider is that LPNs arent generally hired in the ER. If you are trying to get in there faster then go for the paramedic. If you have the time to do the RN your pay will be better. You should try to get a job as an ER te...

  5. New Graduate Nurse willing to Move Anywhere!

  6. I am a very young nurse. Will my patients be frightened?

    I'm 25 and I get patients all the time asking me if I'm old enough to be a nurse, or if I'm a student. I'm really sick of hearing it! And like someone else mentioned, I get patients trying to set me up with their sons haha. I am confident in my pract...
  7. job etiquette question

    I think you should call HR asap and tell them the nurse manager offered you a job and you have been expecting to hear from them. I'm sure they have just been busy but if you call they may get the answers you are looking for. If they tell you they are...

  9. Fired recently - REALLY need advice!!!

    I think you should go ahead and consult with the attorney. He/she can determine if you have sufficient evidence to proceed. It would also help if any of the employees there would be willing to back you up in a trial. After all, you said they were all...
  10. I just want a break

    I cant believe the family member came into your breakroom! You should have told them politely that the room is for employees only and you will be there shortly to answer any questions. Maybe you could ask your supervisor to put a lock and code on the...

    But they have a $900 deductible!
  12. Med-surg float - change jobs to get out of med-surg

    Obviously you hate it there and it's affecting your health. Sounds like it's time to move on. You mention you like NICU or ICU settings, who not look for a perm job there? Any chance you could work full time at the eye clinic?
  13. Do you experience jealousy from friends/family members?

    Nobody is jealous of me because they have heard plenty of stories from me and none of them would want my job. Only thing I can say ppl are jealous of is that I get more days off, but they are hard earned. :onbch:
