   What experience would be better, higher acuity or a pediatric ER?

   ILUVERNSG replied to ladybug95's topic in Emergency

   I hope you take the Peds ER. That would give you lots of valued experience and plenty of marketability.

   As a PA, how can I be better for the nurses in the ER?

   Not sure I can handle BSN School.

   ILUVERNSG replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   OP: I have a very good feeling that you're going to do just fine. Take a deep breath, relax and keep doing what you're doing. Also, DO take some "me time" once in a while and play a few rounds of golf. Selfcare is important.

   I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

   ILUVERNSG replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

   Do not, I repeat, do not complain to instructors about minor things. Save it for big issues; unprofessional or unethical conduct, safety issues, HIPPA violations, etc. Pick and choose your battles very wisely.

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    Working both med surg and icu

    ILUVERNSG replied to LittleRN5678's topic in Professionalism

    Shadow the ICU- it sounds like it could be a better fit. You will get at least 6 months of orientation and lots of critical care classes. There will be a very steep learning curve and it will feel like you are starting over. If you're up for the c...

    Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    ILUVERNSG replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    What is going on in this country??? Are we going INSANE? This is officer needs to have his feet held to the fire on this one. If he acts this way to a reasonable and rational caregiver, how does he treat everyone else? DISGRACEFUL!!!
