Thank you both for replying! This is stuff I dont know, sounds good to me! I appreciate it!

I have only been nursing for about 3 years in the ER. I've become pretty good at starting IV's and love to try and get the "hard sticks." If I could start IV's all day that's what I'd do. Everyone...

awesome...where do you work?????:clown:

Its amazing how something major has to happen before they make any changes...there should always be a visitor rule and a security guard at the entrance. Especially with all the HIPPA concern, you...

I havent been a nurse for long ( a year and a half) so I have only worked in ER. I have noticed when I give report to ICU they often times speak "down" to us constantly asking why didnt you do this?...
