   Terminated the third week into my orientation

   Kuriin replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

   I am sorry you were fired...but, you did deserve it. You were late not once, but multiple times during orientation. You say you are punctual but you did not show that at all.

   What would you do

   Kuriin replied to nagar's topic in Emergency

   Something similar happened on Nurse Jackie on the last (?) season. And, as far as I am aware, insulin drips are a double RN check where you can't bypass the sign off in the flow sheets like you can with pressors. Granted, I guess this all depends on...

   Central Line Placement and Masks

   Kuriin replied to applesxoranges's topic in Emergency

   Generally the people placing the lines wear the masks or the people that are almost breathing on the patient's neck have to wear the mask. Otherwise, no.

   Discharging patients on the board

   Kuriin replied to Silverinkpot's topic in Emergency

   I had a charge who would discharge patients without telling the nurse and the patient would still be in the room. It's to keep the discharge times If management did this, I would notify not only the union, but CMS as well.

   Needing some advice

   Kuriin replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Emergency

   EMTs and Paramedics told me this: Most of the time, you will be a glorified taxi driver for transport. HOWEVER, those crazy moments you see tend to make up for the crap transport. I have the utmost respect for our first responders.

   ER patient wanting pain Meds

   Kuriin replied to stephfoun10's topic in Emergency

   One of my facilities has a .phrase in Epic for narcotic administration that says patient must agree to have a ride home, etc. I've adopted this at my other facility to protect me as many patients say they have rides, but in fact, do not.

   CEN as a new grad ABSN?

   Kuriin replied to cheezbawl2003's topic in Emergency

   Just get the CEN. You will learn a ton. Forget the naysayers who tell you that it's required to get the experience. If you got the time and money to study, do it.

   Futile ressusitation

   Kuriin replied to amzyRN's topic in Emergency

   You guys are saying these are futile resuscitative attempts. To your eyes, yes, they are. To the families watching that every possible thing is being done for their loved one IS NOT FUTILE.

    Kuriin replied to EDnurseNY's topic in Emergency

    It happens from time to time that you board inpatients patients in the ED for >3 days. However, I haven't been in a hospital that sounds like that bad.

    New Trauma Nurse Help

    Kuriin replied to Mariah87's topic in Emergency

    I'm assuming by now you've taken your TNCC? Nurses don't do a whole lot in trauma aside from the line and labs and blood transfusions. As the primary nurse, your main goal is to chart the primary and secondary survey and place orders that the doc say...

    MedSurg Trauma RN transition to Emergency Nursing, what do I need to expect and know?

    Kuriin replied to zhapper2002's topic in Emergency

    Some people do take notes in the ER like they would on a medsurg floor. I don't get it at all. The important stuff should be able to be memorized and even if that's not the case, just glance at the chart while giving report. Most ER nurses will under...

    Just got an ED RN position, Advice needed PLS!

    Kuriin replied to Gem13's topic in Emergency

    You hate medicine? As in primary care? Or medical-surgical? Most of your ER patients will be medsurg based, few will be ICU, even fewer will be trauma unless you're in a major trauma center. The way you make it sound it's as if you shouldn't be in t...
