  1. Transfer into ED

    speedynurse replied to scifispam's topic in Emergency

    It sounds like you have plenty of experience so it won’t probably be a big adjustment. I started as a new grad in the ED and still in the ED. The main thing about the ED is it is often chaos, plans...

  2. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    speedynurse replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I feel like it’s either one way or the other. I have had family members that won’t even tell me that they are a nurse. On the other hand, I have had family members that are incredibly...

  3. Feeling Bored

    speedynurse replied to jellybean570's topic in General Nursing

    Having only been an ER nurse.....started in the ER and still there, the ER is sometimes just a different type of stress. It can be different every day, various levels of acuity - all low acuity or all...

  7. New nurse, how incompetent am I really?

    speedynurse replied to NewnightRN's topic in General Nursing

    I remember my new grad time very well and for the most part, my team was very supportive. However, I have been in situations where a team is not supportive and it can make the job so much harder to...

  8. I’m in a toxic relationship with the ER

    speedynurse replied to Wbm33's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Sometimes moving to a different ED helps - to either a faster or slower paced ED, depending on what you need. Pediatric EDs, Trauma EDs, community EDs, free-standing EDs....etc. I have always been in...

  9. Constantly being put in triage or fast track

    speedynurse replied to Stella_Blue's topic in Emergency

    This might be a compliment to be placed in triage or the fast track area. Many times, the newer nurses are placed in the regular block assignments, while the more experienced nurses are placed in...
