  1. "You know you are an ER Nurse when..."

    ERNurse752 replied to Divern808's topic in Emergency

    I was actually happy I got peed on earlier, b/c it meant I could change into some nifty cranberry hospital

  2. Have my 1st interview...practice questions??

    ERNurse752 replied to shortstuff31117's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on your first interview. :) What position are you interviewing for? These are some questions that have turned up in many of my interviews: Why do you want to work at X hospital? Why do you...

  3. wearing perfume to work

    ERNurse752 replied to acaringnurse's topic in General Nursing

  5. BSN vs BS title

    ERNurse752 replied to Aaron-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would think a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor of Science with a major in Nursing would just be different ways of saying the same thing...therefore, I would assume both would be a BSN....

  6. Meds you hate to give....

    ERNurse752 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Cardizem and Corvert...b/c people sometimes try to die when you give

  7. WHat floors are more fun/social??

    ERNurse752 replied to ER1010's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with cyberkat 100%...and if you want to work with a gender mix, ICUs and EDs are going to have more of that in general. But that could also just depend on the facility. Request to shadow when...

  8. Discharge orders you'd LIKE to write!!!

    ERNurse752 replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in Emergency

    Hehe...this is a good one. 1. Go home 2. Stay home 3. No, really...stay

  9. Need nursing advice for friend

    ERNurse752 replied to heartdrtobe's topic in General Nursing

    What did he hate about pharm school? I think you can't always base your decisions upon what other people say, until you have enough of your own experience for comparison. I think he should get a job...

  10. ICU - Should I stay or go?

    ERNurse752 replied to OahuRN's topic in General Nursing

    If there is any other CVCC, or any other ICU you could go to, I would probably leave stat if it were me. Sounds like some dangerous stuff is happening, and sounds like some crazy BS too! Some places...

  11. Dealing with moody people

    ERNurse752 replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    I would address it, if it were me. Why should you just sit passively by and take it? Maybe she doesn't even realize how bad her behavior really is if no one has ever talked to her about it. Even if...

  12. Does MD really stand for Mad Diva?

    ERNurse752 replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

  13. Does MD really stand for Mad Diva?

    ERNurse752 replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    All those examples are completely inexcusable. I couldn't work for a hospital where that happened, and where it's basically encouraged by nursing management. NURSING MANAGEMENT! You'd think they would...

  14. Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo Vs. Yasmin

    ERNurse752 replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yasmin gave me migraines. The only problem I've had with Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, which I take right now, is breakthrough bleeding. I've only been on it a couple months, so I'm hoping it goes away. I used...

  15. I'm ANGRY and TERRIFIED!!

    ERNurse752 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Baseline labs should be done on both you AND the source patient. Find out STAT where you are supposed to go to get this done - there should absolutely be a policy and procedure on this for your...

  16. Should I find a new OB??

    ERNurse752 replied to hope3456's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wouldn't be comfortable either, from what you're describing. And you should absolutely be able to feel comfortable with the person who is going to manage your pregnancy and birth. If it were me, I...

  17. Colorfull tattoos

    ERNurse752 replied to edgreen's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, visible tattoos are not allowed. I think a lot of it probably depends on the region you're working in, or how friendly you are with management.

  18. Is doula training useful?

    ERNurse752 replied to BonnieSc's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Not to hijack the thread, but is it possible for an RN to become a doula? Like, for instance,

  20. ICU Nurse Personality Traits?

    ERNurse752 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't read too many details on this thread yet b/c I'm in a hurry to get to bed, but just wanted to say if you're wondering whether you're cut out for ICU, try shadowing someone for a few shifts to...

  21. Pharm Tech?

    ERNurse752 replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    My brother has been a pharm tech for a few years, and he seems to know a lot about meds...sounds good! Good luck.

  22. Does anyone else feel like there is too much gossip going on?

    ERNurse752 replied to ashley7's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, have experienced it. It got so bad in my last job (and management was part of the problem,) that I left. It sucks, but it exists in all environments even outside of healthcare. Some places are...

  23. Can u be a good nurse if you've never worked as a CNA?

    ERNurse752 replied to retour_divin's topic in General Nursing

    I think being a CNA first can be to your advantage, but I think you can do just fine without it. However, I do think it is really important to work as a student nurse extern or whatever they're called...

  25. Whom if anyone do I tell?

    ERNurse752 replied to Mysterri's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Was he a DNR? Sounds like he died from CHF/pulmonary edema, but I don't know enough about him to say for sure. If I were you, I wouldn't say anything to the family, b/c you don't have all the...
