  2. RN daily routine in corrections

    I'd like to know more about the correctional nurses daily routine. Is triage criteria laid out & easily accessible? How do you go about passing meds? Are nurse visits scheduled every day or on a certain day? Walk me through one of those visit...
  3. Fired. Help me better prioritize...

    I know this is a long post, but I kind of just needed to rant/vent and I also need some advice. I'm a new grad and I took my first job as an RN on a med surg floor in a level II trauma center, which is the only trauma center for hundreds of miles. ...

  10. I have BLS, I agree with you on the ACLS & PALS. I've seen hospitals pay for new staff to take those courses, so I'm going to wait to take them. I kind of figured clinical experience was going to be a key factor. I was looking into taking some...
