  1. Er nursing

    ERArmyRNND replied to maco1's topic in Emergency

    I did MS before ED and it worked out well. Just think about it like this, you are seeing the same pts in ED that you saw in MS, you are just seeing them at an earlier stage. Initial assessment, more...

  2. Anyone gotten a non-nursing masters?

    ERArmyRNND replied to Rebelution's topic in Nursing Career

    I have an MBA in healthcare admin. I haven't used it yet but plenty of

  3. Rooting out Racial Bias in Nursing: Hope and Grace

    ERArmyRNND replied to jeastridge's topic in General Specialties

    Yes, obviously there will always be a few fools with racist mentality but racism has clearly dramatically declined over the last several decades. Don't believe me? Listen to Thomas Sowell's research,...

  4. Race and Nursing

    ERArmyRNND replied to Bella RN's topic in General Specialties

    Not in the south but in CA, blacks and all races are well represented in nursing and in

  5. Blackout curtains to block sunlight out - easiest, no skill solution

    ERArmyRNND replied to thenewspirit's topic in General Specialties

    Sleep masks are great if you cannot black out room entirely. You sleep much deeper in total

  6. Double standards b/w nurses and police officers

    ERArmyRNND replied to raindrop's topic in General Specialties

    Good point that when a cop behaves badly or even debatably badly it is widely publicized. Not so much when they do good things. Most cops are good people with a very tough job trying to do the right...

  7. Would you rather stay as an RN or work as a NP?

    ERArmyRNND replied to SillyFever's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good question. Sadly, experienced RNs are usually not making more money when they become NPs. The role is more advanced and less burnout but more responsibility should equal more

  8. Management Timing Nurses Pee Breaks

    ERArmyRNND replied to ERArmyRNND's topic in Emergency

    Unfortuantely I am male and mgr is female. I suppose I could say I am bleeding out of my orifice.

  9. Does anyone still teach percussion in assessment?

    ERArmyRNND replied to SHGR's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I disagree that it is nostalgic. Relying on imaging for diagnostics does not make a good clinician. Imaging and labs should be used to confirm what you already know. They shouldn't be used blindly as...

  10. Does anyone still teach percussion in assessment?

    ERArmyRNND replied to SHGR's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I rarely see MDs percuss and never see nurses percuss. Everything is imaging now. That's fine except what if for some reason that is not available? You are in a remote area, power is down etc. Doctors...

  11. Nurse to Firefighter

    ERArmyRNND replied to McStudMuffin's topic in Men in Nursing

    Go for it. I am also an EMT and have been a volunteer FF. Fire Departments love that I am an ED RN, never heard a single negative. I may get my Paramedic and apply to Fire

  12. Management Timing Nurses Pee Breaks

    ERArmyRNND replied to ERArmyRNND's topic in Emergency

    I agree, I went to per diem there and will leave altogether

  13. Looking to join the national guard.

    ERArmyRNND replied to Mindy Sue's topic in Government, Military

    I'm an RN in the Army Guard, they require BSN to apply. New Army nurses generally come on as 66H unless they have years experience in a specialty like ER, ICU or surgical. I would suggest considering...

  14. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    ERArmyRNND replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I had a patient come to ER for a broken toenail from stubbing her toe. I had someone come in for hurt feelings. Just kidding but I wouldn't be
