  15. What exactly is so bad about Med Surg?

    Noahm replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    So so true about interrruptions getting interrupted. You are going around with the medicine cart and pouring some meds and someone phones, you go to the phone and on your way back someone shouts out...

    Noahm replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I work in Med-surg. I once worked on a specialty surgical floor and found it too boring and routine. I like the variation in Med-Surg and the challenge of it. It can be hell on earth though. I hate...

    Noahm replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Emergency

    They may have saved Lincoln with today's medicine but he would have ended up as a vegetable at a short staffed Long Term Care facility. It may have helped if Lincoln's one and only "guard" who was...

    Noahm replied to gentle_ben_RN's topic in PACU
