Yeah, the part about personal questions bothered me too. Can you elaborate on that?

Nice, thanks for posting.

I don't work in CA but the pay sounds low to me too. I'd make sure to understand exactly what "if things go well" means and that you get that bump in pay to $40K in writing.

I agree with everyone else, but the absolute worst for me is when the hospital is full and have to hold pts in the ER when they have a ton of floor orders. There's a reason I'm not a floor nurse so I...

...and these PTs think that they are supposed to go right back to a room ahead of everyone else because the PCP sent them, or because the PCP "called ahead" and told someone all about them they think...

"No" is not the right answer. You should never tell someone what they should do. Instead, provide guidance on how to make the correct decision for himself. Med/surg is not the wrong decision for...

What kind of mistakes are you making and what are the personality clashes about? It's really difficult to give advice without more information.

Much as I would love to start an entire thread on this kind of stuff, I usually don't say anything because I know it won't make any difference. But I thank you for bringing it up and I agree 100%!

I have seen this. Not to the point of being able to tell if the person shaved, but I could see a crack and what color their thongs were when they sat down!

Thank you for this.

Only on page 6 so far. I find it interesting, to say the least, that atheists/non-Christians seem to think that they are the experts on the Bible and Christian behavior, as if Christians aren't...

I'm not a CRNA either, but I saw a listing for one in MN 3-4 years ago that was paying $200K/yr for 6 months of work.

Good comments from Altra. You need to be very proactive in the ED. Never put off doing something that you have time for just because you don't have an order. Learn to anticipate what orders will...

Not only does time as a tech/intern not count as experience, but orientation doesn't usually count either. I agree with most of the others and highly recommend you stay put for awhile. If you...

That may be true in general, but I've had a couple of pt's who were just sensitive to the medication. Also had a family member who did not meet your criteria and almost bottomed out from nitro. ...

Which drug are you talking about to push over 1 minute?

Each nurse has 4 rooms with the potential for 1 hallway pt, which we frequently have.

CDU = Clinical Decision Unit

Magical? Naw...they just want us to see what the tempature REALLY is! Then there are those who can't afford a thermometer or OTC motrin, but they can afford an ER visit. OOOPS! My bad! I forgot...

I have several pet peeves of my own, but the flip side to this one is nurses HIDING pumps in the cupboards in their rooms, then I run around the ED looking for a pump for something necessary (nitro,...

I have to strongly agree with those who point out that an employer may not be able to legally fire you for posing nude, but they can certainly find another "legitimate" reason to get rid of you if...

My memory isn't what it used to be, but I don't recall anyone up to this point saying anything of the sort.

This is exactly what I was thinking when I read the post you replied to.

You got it wrong. I don't know of a single person who despises anyone for needing help. It's when people abuse the help that they get that doesn't sit well.

I just gotta say, you have no idea what a person's circumstances are that caused them to need to take loans for school. If you are just out of high school and living at home, then yes, maybe it is...
