Changing jobs

Well after much sole searching I have decided to leave my small town ER after 1 year-- I need to go back to what I call " the real world" where there is a pyxis, updated equipment, and real ER docs all the time and not the old town family doc that wants to play ER 1 shift a week. I also need to be able to make the same nursing judgments I was able to do before I started working there ( we cant even collect a urine without an order, or do an EKG on a chest pain ). Most of the nurses there have never worked anywhere else so they have no idea what it is like elsewhere. Actually had a nurse argue with me that I could not put a scalp IV in a 6 week old that was dry as a bone and had no other options-- she wrote me up because I did it anyway, and my manager told me it was not against policy but I needed to be sensitive to the nurses that do not have the same skill set that I do!! OK just because you have been a nurse for 35 years and do not have certain skills why should I have to not use my skills because it may hurt there feelings?? ***!! Any way I am going to the only Level 1 Pedi ER in our state and am excited to get back to being the ER nurse I once was!! :yeah:

Good for you! Go for it!!!

It is awful that you have to worry about the things you mentioned in your post!!!

You sound like a confident nurse, and should be treated as a professional. Good luck!:yeah:

been there done that......it's horrid to have to justify what you know and the skill level you have. go for it. they would be lucky to have you :D

Honey, if you can get the scalp vein, go for it and show me how!! That other nurse was just jealous, and I bet that wasn't the first time you had had a run-in with her. :argue:

Sounds like you made the right decision to leave. If you can't get an EKG on a chest pain, that place has a problem and I wouldn't want to be treated there.

Go to the Pyxis!!!!:D
