   NrsCyn2011 replied to Lisa9090's topic in Emergency

   I work in a hospital where we are timed to make turn-around at three hours per pt. the hospital has also just put out a commercial that tells the locals that EMS has beds before they arrive. While this is true, it's opened the door to even more moron...

3. University of Tennessee ER nurses

   NrsCyn2011 replied to NrsCyn2011's topic in Emergency

   Thanks for the heads up on other facilities. What is "The Med"? What is the pt volume there? I'm used to 500+ pts a shift (we've been known to get upwards if 600-needless to say we are VERY busy). Thanks for responding to the thread and the info, I ...

   NrsCyn2011 posted a topic in Emergency

   Hello, I am an ER nurse in a very busy hospital in central florida. I was wondering if I could get some insight on the ER in UTMC, as my husband and I are considering a transfer. I would like to know things like the pt to nurse ratio, shifts (three i...

5. New Grads and Resumes

   NrsCyn2011 replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in New Nurse

   I'd do some resume swapping if I already had one ready to go. I'm actually kind of embarassed to say, I'm not sure where to start with my resume. I have experience as a firefighter/paramedic for a year, but no other medical experience other than my c...

6. From a student, to, hospital floor nurses...

   NrsCyn2011 replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

   From student to student- glad you could vent. Now let's look at this situation from a different view. These nurses are sometimes overworked, overloaded, are human and also have their own problems to deal with aside from their patients and their famil...

7. What is the fate of the new graduate RN?

   NrsCyn2011 replied to Aubrianna's topic in General Nursing

   From the bit I read, I'd say you are pretty cocky and a turn off as a candidate. Yes, you may have all the bells and whistles....but to be honest, they're too loud- and personally, I definitely wouldn't want to work with someone like that. You make i...

10. Nursing Student interest in AFR Flight Nurse

    NrsCyn2011 replied to paranurse125's topic in Flight

    I am going to join as soon as I get my BSN and have spoken to a reserve flight nurse. At this point the AF is only accepting BSN even for reserves, although in the past they have accepted ASN's, but that is when they are really really low on flight n...

11. EMS abuse: The Ride to get High

    NrsCyn2011 replied to Roy Fokker's topic in Emergency

    I agree. As much as us medics would like to refuse calls for so called "emergencies" that can actually be taking us away from "good calls", sometimes we are better off just taking them. Granted it's another report to write and yes of course they all ...

    They take a cumulative GPA of ALL classes you have taken for people without a previous Bachelors. In your case I'm not sure but they do hold info seminars where I'm sure you can get an answer. You can find the date and times on the college of nursing...

    NrsCyn2011 replied to mebamy's topic in Government

    Hi there, I'm kind of in the same boat as you although I have decided I want to do the Air Force. Good benefits, good pay, 30 days paid leave immediately, good retirement, medical, shortest deployments, etc. I am a medic wanting to get my BSN. The Ai...
