  1. Define innapropriate?

    ERNurse752 replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    "It was ok that he raped me because he's schizophrenic, and was off his meds." A little dramatic, but same concept. I think the matter should be looked into further and measures to keep staff safe...

  2. Privacy & Confidentiality in ER

    ERNurse752 replied to Sarah, RNBScN's topic in Emergency

    Half of our ER got remodeled a few years ago, and then they ran out of money or somethin' because they stopped. We had a big room that was separated by curtains, but we don't use it anymore since...

  4. i have a chance to triage...

    ERNurse752 replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Emergency

    Do you have ACLS, PALS, ENPC, or TNCC? It would definitely be smart to have some orientation and training first. Triage is where you essentially decide who is not sick vs. sick vs. critical - right...

  5. What other careers did you consider before nursing?

    ERNurse752 replied to SNURSEG_2B's topic in General Nursing

    I want to be Stephanie Plum. Always liked the idea of teaching, medicine, EMS, law enforcement...so nursing is a little bit of all those things! Now I just have to decide what I want to do...

  6. Ever had 2 pts die on you in 1 day?

  10. Diabetes mellitus and being an anesthesiologist

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

    One of our cardiologists has insulin dependent diabetes. It's a pretty taxing job with all the office hours, hours in the cath lab, and being on call regularly. He does well for the most part...also...

  11. "where" are the "magnet hospitals PLEASE?

    ERNurse752 replied to nursegoodlove's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe some of the magnet hospitals are good, but judging by a few of them I know of, they're just maggot hospitals with political connections.

  12. Labor, birth and spectators

    ERNurse752 replied to KRVRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think you should have the ultimate say as to who is in the room with you. Yes, your husband as the father is important, but you're the one who's lying in the bed enduring labor and delivering the...

  13. "Cookie Cutter" uniforms

    ERNurse752 replied to Limik's topic in General Nursing

    My mom works in a physician's office, and that's how they do it too. They provide a $300/year clothing allowance as well. What happens if you get confused as to which color to wear on a certain

  14. taking priviledges away

    ERNurse752 replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    That is terrible treatment. My mom is a nurse who got a new job and then found out about policies like this. She spoke with her feet and got a new job. Wouldn't patients and families think it's pretty...

    ERNurse752 replied to charles-thor's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Good ones! I especially like the concept of if the monitors are so reliable, why do they need us? See ya,

  16. Misdiagnosed in the ER :(

    ERNurse752 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, you just plain got blown off. In my ER, those s/s would have warranted an EKG, IV/bloodwork, and possibly more! Glad you got taken care

  17. CNA in ER

    ERNurse752 replied to SpecificNorthWest's topic in Emergency

    Check with your local hospitals. Hospitals in my area don't really use CNAs in the ER, but do use EMTs. Also, our hospital has Patient Support Partners, which are similar to CNAs/techs. The hospital...

  18. What do you HATE to do at work?

    ERNurse752 replied to mickeymouse1205's topic in General Nursing

    Lately, clocking in. Don't mind sputum too much, but hate trachs. Hate poo/GI bleeds. Don't like doing EKGs...enjoy reading them, just not the actual task of doing them. Oh, and sticking Peds pts...

    I've had it, but it didn't burn...had a #20 PIV in my AC, no IVF running. Some people c/o of burning, most don't in my experience. Tends to depend on the vein...little/fragile veins will burn, big...

  23. SCARY drug exp post C-Sec - DROPERIDOL

    ERNurse752 replied to alphafe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like they gave it to you for sedative effects since you complained of fear. I haven't heard it was taken off the market, or any other problems with it...we use it in the ER sometimes. I've...

  24. Rude and crude RN

    ERNurse752 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Gross. It's not an issue of him being in his mid 20's. I work with plenty of men in their mid 20's who are not grossly inappropriate like him. I agree that he's a timebomb and it should be brought to...
