    beepeadoo posted a topic in Emergency

    So I work in a Medium Sized Pediatric ER in a free-standing Pediatric Hospital seeing 50k+ pts a year. We have two trauma rooms with two bays each, and we are currently a Level II center. As I am sure...

  4. Trauma Room Staffing (not ratios...)

    beepeadoo replied to beepeadoo's topic in Emergency

    Well usually what happens in that event, when we have our usual trauma assignment of 1, is the Charge Nurse and one other nurse from one of the lower acuity areas comes to

  5. Help filling out a form?

  7. Medical Screening Form... how long?

    beepeadoo replied to beepeadoo's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks so much to all of you. I called the recruitment office directly and then asked if he was still working for them since I was not getting any callbacks. Amazingly, he was, and he had an answer...

  8. Medical Screening Form... how long?

    beepeadoo posted a topic in Government, Military

    So I'm a BSN RN and I'd love to join the Army Reserve. Monetary benefits as well as the challenge interest me. Here's the kicker... I'm older (43) and I have some medical issues. Nothing that keeps me...

  9. acuity assessment tools

    beepeadoo replied to jeanne1n10's topic in Psychiatric

    I'm actually in peds, so that works for me. Actually that's pretty good -- a bit long but really along the lines of what I was looking for. I shall keep looking as well.

  10. acuity assessment tools

    beepeadoo replied to jeanne1n10's topic in Psychiatric

    Gonna bump this to the top, as it fits my needs, rather that start a new thread. I too am looking for a subjective assessment tool/program/system to assess psychiatric acuity in our Emergency...

  11. High pay, no degree required!

    beepeadoo replied to love-d-OR's topic in General Nursing

    So the headline says no degree required, but when you read the article, it says no ADVANCED degree required. Hmmm... rather lousy headline writing and very deceptive. Also, when one tries to find...

    beepeadoo replied to MysticalSeeker's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know it's already been said... but I'm gonna throw MTC in anyways: wow what a MESS that was just a disaster waiting to happen. Yes I know you need the money... but as was said: protect your...

  15. Two Clinicals at Once?

    beepeadoo posted a topic in General Students

    It might be a silly question, but I'm wondering if this is unusual, or if I just need to shut up 'n suck it up... I've got Mental Health clinical going right now for the first rotation of the...

  16. Loans for living expenses?!

    beepeadoo replied to rockexrolloh's topic in General Students

    I've lived for the last nine months on borrowed money. Here's how it worked for me: there are Stafford Loans, which are great. The interest rate is great, sometimes they're guaranteed, sometimes...

  18. Age you will/were graduated?

    beepeadoo replied to sweetiez's topic in General Students

    I will be a month short of forty three (43). I just realized if I take the full twenty years to pay off my student loans, I should finish them off just in time to retire! Woo

  21. What did u buy your first year of nursing?

    beepeadoo replied to rn2bn07's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Woo hoo!!! That is the way to do it! You know, I don't know how old your sons are, but quite frankly, I'm not sure I know too many boys who would feel like they REALLY missed out not getting to go to...

  22. Do i not have what it takes?

    beepeadoo replied to Rocky_LPN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm weak on a Code Brown as well. What gets me most is the odor. I know, I know, it's nothing special, but I've helped change the dressing on a Stage IV decubitus and it didn't phase me a bit, but the...

  24. I need help finding funds!!

    beepeadoo replied to The Dude's topic in General Students

    Some advantages and disadvantages to both. Sallie Mae will most likely give you better repayment terms - length of time, and interest rates. However... and a big BUT here... Be careful. Sallie Mae is...

    beepeadoo replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh yeah. Lots more intense. One speculation among my fellow students is that it's a "weed-out" semester, especially for those of us in the Accelerated Second Degree Program. We submit applications in...
