I've now been an ED nurse for 6.5 yrs. and currently live in NC. However, my first job as a new grad was in the ED at Shands @ UF (Level 1 Trauma Center) in Gainesville. I spent my first 3.5 yrs there and couldn't have found a better place to start o...

In some cases, let docs yell and act stupid. You did the right thing by not leaving her in trendelenberg if she felt worse. With a pressure that high, he should have just been able to lay her flat and stick. I'm pretty sure she probably had some JVD ...
Good format. Correct spelling. Both a plus. Personally, I'd leave out where you did your clinical rotations on a resume. It's not necessary and takes up a lot of space. That's something you may discuss during an interview, but not necessarily include...
