   chylerlove replied to Eeramsey's topic in Career Support

   I felt alot like you when I was in school: I loved to learn and was already looking for the next degree! I graduated with my BSN and got the only job I could at the time (med/surg) and wouldn't trade the experience for anything! I think the best way...

   chylerlove replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

   Not really nursing related but the word "moist" has always grossed me out and I hate it

   chylerlove replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

   Ugh "pulmonary toilet" is one of the documentation options on our EHR care plans. Agreed that is sounds gross and could easily be rephrased.

11. Post ops coming back to ED as "holding" patients

    chylerlove replied to anursedad's topic in Emergency

    No, they have to go to PACU and stay there until a bed is ready. Patient's from surgery get "first dibs" on beds bc those are not licensed beds and legally cannot be used for inpatient or obs beds. That means the ED gets backed up with admissions bc ...

15. CEN review

    chylerlove replied to Kpholland's topic in Emergency

    I've attended the Med-Ed review course and they have CDs as well. A more cost efficient method might be to download the study outline from the BCEN and watch Mark Bozwell's youtube videos that act as an exam review and are broken down by system. Goo...
