  1. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    My grandmother just retired and she is 83. My husband's grandmother works and is 88! I anticipate working a while although probably not in something so physically demanding. That's part of why I want to expand my skills now. I want to have more oppor...
  2. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    Retired by 53? My goodness I hope you have a great retirement plan or a rich spouse! I will be working until I'm 80. *sigh*
  3. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    By that time, assuming you are a nurse now, you will be in a much better spot than many young nurses. You will have years of experience, and in nursing that is what matters. I am trying to tailor my career to get good experience when I am still relat...
  4. "TNCC" after "RN" and other letters of the day

    Thank you. :)
  5. It's that time again to update my resume, fluff my little feathers, and put in as many uppercase letters after my name as possible to get someone to notice me lol. Which credentials do you include? It can really get out of control. I was going to put...
  6. Ebola... What'cha Gonna Do When It Comes to You

    Now that it is in the US... we all have a responsibility to get answers to this question!
  7. CEN vs. ENPC

    Thanks! This was very helpful.
  8. Abusing ancillary staff

    I'm not saying people hired into a job shouldn't do their job, but it seems to me that paramedics are a little over qualified to be hired to stock rooms and simply take vitals, similar to a nurse's aid with no formal training. Why don't they hire nu...
  9. PARAMEDICS IN THE ED...Do you have them????

    No, except for students. I don't know why they would want to, although I'm not a paramedic so I can't speak to that. Paramedics are very qualified and can intubate, give meds according to protocol and assess. Why would they want to share duties with ...
  10. CEN vs. ENPC

    I am looking to build my credentials and education, and am wondering which of these to do first? I don't work with pediatrics very often in my ED which has pedi specific nurses. That is one reason the ENPC appeals to me though, so I can be stronger i...
  11. Starting out in Trauma

    With your experience in ICU honing your assessment skills with critical patients you would probably do very well if you felt drawn to the fast pace of a level one. The only credential you should consider is TNCC. Other emergency-specific credentials ...
  12. Trauma vs. ER

    Weatherck, get your TNCC as soon as you can. I found it very informative and helpful.
  13. Trauma vs. ER

    Things that end up being treated in the trauma room must meet certain criteria, but they typically include car wrecks, gunshots, stabbings, or falls or other accidents with suspicion for serious and emergent internal injury. Depending on the injury, ...
  14. No teamwork in ED

    Is staffing and acuity different in your new job? Perhaps it's unreasonable to assume people are going to help you with routine tasks, but hopefully when the poop hits the fan in your assignment and someone else is less slammed with acuity, they will...
  15. ED vs. ICU experience

    Anyone get into CRNA school with ED, not ICU, experience?
