Id have to say my biggest pet peeve is when someone hands you a medicaid card as they pull it from their Louis Vuitton handbag with bling on their hands after having rolled up to the ER in their Mercedes Benz! After that I'd say when someone comes t...

The ER is an excellent place to prepare for critical care because you get experience with drips and things as well as learning to read telemetry, but in critical care you need well developed assessment skills where as in the ER you are using a focuse...

I would not suggest becoming a ER nurse as a new grad. Although you may find managers to hire you it would not be in your best interest. You really should get a year of practice on a med surg or Tele floor first because as an ER nurse you are expecte...
