  1. Ending the cycle

    The nicest part of being in our chosen career is being able to move to different departments or different job sites. When I first entered nursing, I went to ICU. Talk about territorial nurses! Was set up because I didn't fit their mold. Was devastate...
  2. LOUD MOUTHED AMERICANS!!!!

    Lora....What a HORRIBLE disposition you have! GROW UP kiddo & mind your manners. Apparently, you're still wet behind the ears.Once you've been around the block abit-you'll know what we're talking about. By the way, I'm married to a Scots & be...

  5. Surgical Recoveries in ICU?

  7. PACU to Floor Transport

  8. PACU Call Staffing

    In our PACU, on-call's on weekends have 1 RN w/ a backup. However, on weekdays, on call RN is scheduled 11:30am-8pm, but there is another RN that is scheduled 3-11:30pm. Policy does state 2 RN's, but our unit gets away w/ this by stating there's the ...
  9. Physician's Office

    Are you a new RN/LPN or a student nurse? I highly recommend working as a floor nurse for about 2-3 yrs, preferably in a med/surg unit. You'll build a strong foundation, learn organizational skills, & hopefully, experience what team nursing is all...
  10. WHERE HAVE ALL THE NURSES GONE?

    I agree w/ what everyone said. I've advised my daughters NOT to go into nursing becuz of what was stated. I love the majority of pts I took care of & still take care of but hospital politics, administration policies, lack of respect, understaffi...
  11. WHAT RIGHTS DO RN'S HAVE?

    I work in PACU & recently had ALL ON-CALL personnels wages decreased from double time to time in a half. As a result, there were quite a number of cath lab nurses that resigned, & PACU now has to "temporarily" recover OP cath lab pts.(Nothin...
