1. What's your story? Why did you take up nursing?

   CEP10492 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   I wanted to be a DVM when I grew up. It wasn't until I was working as a CNA at the hospital and a doctor had asked me how a pt was doing and how the pt had done during the night that I decided I was going to be a nurse. When I explained to the doctor...

2. Personality traits suited for ER??

   CEP10492 replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in Emergency

   I absolutely loved the ER when I worked there, which was 2 1/2 years, before and during nursing school. Upon getting my LPN (during 2nd semester) I had to leave the ER and return to Med-Surg. I am doing everything in my power at this time to return t...

   No, the ER is not allowed to turn anyone way regardless of emergent or non-emergent. The ER I work in has been termed the after hours clinic. People come to it because no co-pay is required like the clinics.

7. Why do unit nurses have bad reps?

   CEP10492 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in MICU
