  1. The Dangers of Nursing

    Mary3010 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, Nursing can be dangerous at times due to physical injuries that may be caused by violence, excessive tiredness from shift work and possible exposure to various things. We have one body to last...

  2. The Dangers of Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in General Nursing

    Ruby Vee: Thank you for your information Ruby Vee!! It seems as though prevention of physical injuries, fumes, hazardous substances, radiation and communicable illnesses etc. are prevented when you...

  3. Why I would tell you to stay out of nursing

    Mary3010 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    KalipsoRed: I agree with others. Maybe you just need to go into a different avenue within Nursing. You could consider working in a doctor's office or clinic and maybe even school nursing. I think the...

  4. What's the most inappropriate thing you've done that you instantly regretted?

    Mary3010 replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    These comments are great...you're all so funny. It was great reading them!! You can just picture some of these happening. I don't have a nurse story to tell but one instead when a relative was taken...

  5. School Shootings

    Mary3010 replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Old Dude for bringing up this discussion. This is an issue that needs to be addressed and I want to help!!!! It's so horrible to always hear so many people being impacted by people misusing...

  6. Horrible first job - need advice

    Mary3010 replied to PAnurse94's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Can you carry on your BSN elsewhere? I'd put your health first and find a different job where they actually care about you!! It seems like a dodgy place if so many have left in so short a time. They...

  7. Loss of all personal freedom.

    Mary3010 replied to Runnerlives's topic in General Nursing

    I could be wrong here but the way I see it is to give an analogy to something that a lot of people are probably all familiar with. Whilst students are attending schools, they are required to abide by...

  8. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Thank you everyone once again...I really appreciate it!! I guess that's why you're all nurses because you're all really nice!! I just had a question. I feel like it'd be awesome to have an all-rounder...

  9. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 posted a topic in Emergency

    I just had a few quick questions about working as an emergency nurse: 1. What is it like working in emergency? What work do you do? 2. What are your working conditions like? (e.g hours/days, do you...

  10. Should I come back to ER?

    Mary3010 replied to amzyRN's topic in Emergency

    You should consider going for the job since it seems like you enjoy working in emergency!!! If worse comes to worse and you don't like that particular place, then at least you will feel more...

  11. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Peak RN: Why do you not like ICU, PICU and the Paediatrics wards as much? Thinking about it, I feel like I would be the same as far as working in intensive care for adults and paediatrics. As in, I...

  12. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Thank you so much everyone for your comments...I really appreciate it!!! I don't know of any Emergency nurses so it is so great to hear from people like you who actually work in emergency. Also, I...

  13. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Peak RN: It sounds like you have to have more experience in emergency than other wards. Wow you must have a massive hospital campus!!! It sounds like a great hospital. I suppose the Peds ED nurses and...

  14. Experienced RN, Qutting during Orientation

    Mary3010 replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    wannabenycnurse2011: How are you coping now? Are you finding things a lot

  15. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Bass catching Nurse: I'm guessing then that some people couldn't work in the ER if they were older or pregnant because of this violence. I agree people are violent/jerks everywhere!!! It never struck...

  16. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Pixie Rn: I would never have guessed that the word 'whilst' is not commonly used by Americans (as you say). Thank you so much for the website link!!!! I'm going to have to look into that further....

  17. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Pixie RN: Yes I'm not American, you're right!! What terminology is different? I didn't even know that you could combine nursing and paramedics. Where would those nurses

  18. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Pixie RN and Peak RN: Thank you for your comments!! My understandings of the differences between the professions are (correct me if I am wrong because I may very well be): *Paramedics take patients to...

  19. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Pixie RN: Thank you for your comment!! I never knew there were pre-hospital nurses. I guess that makes sense though that there would be flight nurses. I can't think of any other pre-hospital nurses...

  20. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Bass catching nurse: That does make sense. It must be somewhat nerving to think that any of your patients whilst they may seem perfectly 'normal' may in fact actually be the ones to lash out. Is there...

  21. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    Smonty1025: Thank you for your comments!! So are there different types/areas of emergency? E.g traumatic injuries like car crashes, more first aid work like giving stitches to a patient, patients who...

  22. Emergency Nursing

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Emergency

    PeakRN: Do you have a lower acuity level compared to the rest of the hospital because you work in quaternary emergency? 200% of your average daily census...do you mean when you go over the normal...

  23. Nursing conditions

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Nursing Career

    KelRN215: Thank you, I think you might have answered my question (sorry for the confusion). I was just referring to if you were to be teaching nursing at a university, would you also still be...

  24. Nursing conditions

    Mary3010 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Are there any types of nurses that have decent working conditions (as in working hours/day work, allowing for breaks, not continually standing etc.)? How do you cope with your working conditions if...

  25. Nursing conditions

    Mary3010 replied to Mary3010's topic in Nursing Career

    Hppygr8ful: Thank you for your comment!! So do you work 6 days a week? (You said you have 1 regular day off a week). That sounds really good!!! How long did it take you to earn better shifts? You...
