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!!
