I work in a relatively small ED but we serve a large area. We get occasional threats from patients and family members, and it is absolutely not tolerated. The last pt to threaten a nurse was...

"I got small veins, it's generic." (genetic) "I had my technical shot last year." (tetanus shot) "I think I'm having one of them mycardia infarts" (No explanation necessary, hee)

Oh how I love that point of reference! :chuckle My favorite was a pt that had been in the hospital for several days with back pain, abd pain, and migraine. Lots of tests, nothing showed up, but...

Whoa, I don't see any similarity between a celebrity leading the police on a chase after his ex-wife, who he was known to abuse, was found murdered, and an overwhlemed triage nurse who has a...

RN2007, I PM'ed you about the video you were describing. (Check your private messages in the user control panel, the button at the top of the page that says User CP) I haven't seen it yet, but I will...

Congrats!! Emery, I don't know if it differs by state, but in NC those who don't pass have to wait 3 months to retake it.

I had 75 questions and passed, as did three of my friends. One girl had 77 questions and passed, and another had around 120 and passed. When I came out of that test, I honestly didn't know how I...

Good points from both sides, but I would have chosen B because she does not state what type of pain. Maybe it is emotional pain, not physical pain. Oh, I'm SO glad I'm done with these types of...

Ok, here are some old movies about WWII nurses, but they are not all historically accurate: Cry Havoc 1943 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer - An ensemble movie about Army women living in underground barracks...

Thank you! That really makes me feel good! And congrats to all other grads!

((((Gordi)))) I'm so sorry. It sounds like you have been having a rough time. How much longer do you have until you graduate? Have you applied for financial aid, scholarships, and/or student...
