  1. How do you quit nursing?

    ERNurse752 replied to anonfornow's topic in General Nursing

    Inactive status isn't an option in my state either, but I think you can still renew your license even if you're not working. I remember a section when I just renewed mine where they ask about where...

  2. Are 12 hr shifts long and drawn out?

    ERNurse752 replied to FirstYear2005's topic in General Nursing

    It can be long, but it won't be

  3. "Your servers today will be..." Opinions please!

    ERNurse752 replied to Nascar nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would throw them all away and I would make sure administration knew exactly why. If they persisted, I would quit. I would suggest to them that they just have signs stating something similar to what...

  4. I Love My Crocs!!

    ERNurse752 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    AMEN!!!!:angryfire

  5. Myers-Briggs Personality Type & CRNA's

    ERNurse752 replied to Toby's mum's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Woo hoo, party down

  6. A patient complained about me...

    ERNurse752 replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I might go ahead and email her about it first. That way you're being proactive about the situation, instead of letting her hear it from someone else and getting the wrong impression.

  7. vasovagal - syncope

    ERNurse752 replied to akerdonn's topic in Emergency

    I've never passed out or gotten sick or anything. The one thing that has ever bothered me to where I got lightheaded was watching a lady partsl prep for a surgery. Looked pretty rough! (The pt was...

  8. Not sure what to do??

    ERNurse752 replied to grannypatches's topic in General Nursing

    I think you'd have a better shot at working in L/D if you became an RN. Maybe the route for you to go is to get your LPN first, start working, and finish your RN after that with one of the LPN to RN...

  9. I had some trouble with a CNA...should I talk to the manager?

    ERNurse752 replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    I'd probably just talk to her personally, as long as you don't feel threatened. I think the air probably needs to be cleared between the two of you. I would have been really hurt and embarassed if I...

  10. How do you remember everything

    ERNurse752 replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have specific advice for the charting/organization stuff...but with your preceptor, let her know that you need her to think out loud for you. She knows all that stuff automatically, but you...

  11. I have a surname. I'd like to use it.

    ERNurse752 replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you in a way...I'd just probably feel weird with people calling me Miss X or Nurse X. But if pharmacists and physical therapists et al started going by titles rather than first names, I...

  12. New to ICU with no clue

    ERNurse752 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    No problemo, good luck!

  13. New to ICU with no clue

    ERNurse752 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    A guy on this board made this website, which is a great resource:

  14. ghosts...

    ERNurse752 replied to lynni's topic in General Nursing

    Hehe...weird. There's actually a thread on here with nursing ghost stories, if you're interested!

  15. New guy here, a question and brief intro.

    ERNurse752 replied to scott07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi Scott, New grads can definitely go straight into the ICU. I think the best way to do it is to work as a student nurse extern in the ICU while you're in school, and then get into a really good new...

  16. Acc?

    ERNurse752 replied to Mulan's topic in Operating Room

    I worked in an outpatient surgery center for a little while, and we did both preop and postop. The OR staff was separate, like you said.

  17. Not likeing my hospital job to much!

    ERNurse752 replied to newflgrad's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Could you get a job on a Peds med/surg floor? You already have some experience with that population, which can help. It's really hard to be new. You have all the job duties to learn that are totally...

  18. Is A Sign On Bonus Worth A 3 Yr Contract?

    ERNurse752 replied to cnpta's topic in General Nursing

    That would be too long for me. First, I don't like being tied down to anywhere...if something better came along in that time, you'd be stuck. If you hate it, you have to pay it all back, or just be...

  19. Scrub pants with longer inseam

    ERNurse752 replied to TheNewDino's topic in General Nursing

    Are they normally long, or do you have to get them in tall? Do you know how long the inseam is? I looooooooove long scrubs,

  20. dumb question about scrubs

    ERNurse752 replied to Shadelyn's topic in General Nursing

    I would try to look around the hospital to see what color green the other staff was wearing. I tried looking for emerald green on the Landau website, but they didn't have anything specifically...

  21. What's a new employee called that is on orientation

    ERNurse752 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I've always used orientee also. I'm not sure if it would matter for your paper or not, whether "orientee" is in the dictionary. I think a lot of medical lingo wouldn't be found there, even though...

  22. Got any funny acronyms at your ER???

    ERNurse752 replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    Exactly...that's what this board is for - to blow off steam. We wouldn't talk like this in front of patients or their families. It doesn't mean we don't care about some of these people. But you have...

  23. Doubts about Nursing - 1st yr clinicals

    ERNurse752 replied to dave1's topic in General Nursing

    I think the biggest thing to consider is whether she is just scared because she is inexperienced and afraid of messing up, which is normal...or whether her previous perception of nursing is turning...

  24. Got any funny acronyms at your ER???

    ERNurse752 replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    Sometimes, when you have been around for awhile and have seen more horrible things happen than you could ever imagine, been cussed at, spit on, physically assaulted by patients/family members...you...

  25. "Dorf sign"

    ERNurse752 replied to ImaERtraumaRN's topic in Emergency

    I haven't heard of anything like it before, but I got this from http://www.mercksource.com Dorendorf's sign, fullness of the supraclavicular groove on one side in aneurysm of the aortic arch. Don't...
