  1. Go to er/fastrack?

    ERNurse752 replied to elizabells's topic in Emergency

    Sounds like it already might be triggered anyway, since you said you had slight SOB. Better go get checked

  2. Go to er/fastrack?

    ERNurse752 replied to elizabells's topic in Emergency

    Probably wouldn't hurt to go ahead and get checked out now in fast track with the SOB and difficulty with swallowing. They probably won't give anything stronger than Vicodin, if they're anything like...

  3. Need Advice from Experienced RNs!!

    ERNurse752 replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    Is your refresher course at a hospital? If so, are you committed to that hospital for a certain amount of time? I ask b/c if it's independent, you can go somewhere else. It's not like that everywhere....

  6. (CRNA Responses Needed) *Ambitious Student fascinated with the Profession*

    ERNurse752 replied to DLeichty's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  7. Anyone else burned out???

    ERNurse752 replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing

  8. A question for all managers and recruiters for New Grad porgrams!!!!

    ERNurse752 replied to JonathanRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it would hurt you. I think it would actually be viewed as a positive, since it demonstrates your desire to help people and make a difference. If it's something you really want to do, do...

  9. Unfair Discipline at Work...What do you Think?

    ERNurse752 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

  10. What kind of office jobs can nurses hold?

    ERNurse752 replied to nursestudentx's topic in General Nursing

    ERNurse752 replied to snwflknurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not in women's health/OB/etc, but you should do what you want. I don't forsee OB nurses not having jobs anytime soon. I think it would be much worse to get stuck somewhere you don't want to be...

  17. Which nursing field gets the best job satisfaction?

    ERNurse752 replied to joli's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't necessarily call it that. Plenty of nurses work for insurance companies, and you need nursing knowledge for the job. As long as they're happy...better than doing a floor job job or...

    ERNurse752 replied to lblondie1128's topic in General Nursing
