We are swabbing everyone - a lot of positive rapid flu results. The hallways are lined with these people. The staff (myself included) have been sick. I hope this thing has peaked.

I was a flight attendant before I was a nurse. It was not very much money. Like above posters said, you end up working delays and pre flight duties for nothing (we at the time got a whopping $1.25/hr...

Yes... "Thank you for choosing my ER for the 3rd time this week for a runny nose, sore throat and now a mosquito bite. I am sure the ambulance that brought you in yet again just forgot to write...

Yep - I look things up sometimes after work too! Probably always will.

I have not had any issues finding the next assignment, it may not be exactly where I want to go - but traveling requires flexibility. I generally start looking about 2 weeks from the end of my...

Wow - tears here as well. Thank you for sharing this story.

I probably would - I would just explain why you did not feel you were dishonest when you initially answered the question. I don't have experience in this area, but I can imagine things would be...

Well said! I work with peds in the ER and bingo! They can be much more time consuming for every task and they can crash much faster than adults. IV's alone are a challenge to maintain - arm boards...

I dread walking into the ER and only a couple of pts on the board - and the next nearest hospital goes on divert.

Well if it were me, I would google both jobs (pay scale website specific for your area) then go on a job search engine (like indeed.com) and see which job has more openings listed. That would give...

It's hard to say what to pick. Are you more interested in cardiovascular or renal? That's where I would start. Are you doing this until you get through nursing school? It says in your post you are...

I have heard lots of threats of "pillow therapy" over the years, have yet to see it occur. I have said some outrageous things myself when extremely stressed. Not the most professional - but I erase...

To self: does this big, goofy exaggerated smile cover up how I am really feeling right now? Gets me through triaging the absurd. :)

I agree with above. Do you have a case manager on your unit? They have the resources to know what the pt qualifies for (insurance wise).

I have dealt with MD's similar to this, though not quite as extreme. I am surprised that the patients don't complain - that would get the administrators attention. The ones that I would ask would...

My shift today was a 2. I am drinking a mimosa right now at midnight, and it is pretty darn good!

I will take MI/CVA/sepsis if someone else will take the fibromyalgia/chronic pain/yet another migraine this week patients.

Oy vey. I am almost afraid to even post. Does that make me old?

i was wondering the same thing.

Was probably Afib with RVR, it happens quite a bit - and her dizziness would be accounted for with how fast her heart was beating. You definitely did the right thing in calling the doc and getting...

I said: hello, how are you? The pt said: ok

I have not had a phone call like this. If the pt was able to talk, I would have asked the pt if they wanted to speak to this person - problem solved. If not, I would have told them no more than...
