  1. Nurse Quality Manager of the ED

    ERNurse752 replied to Driven Persistence's topic in Emergency

    Not exactly on topic, but... Apparenlty our "customer satisfaction" has gone down lately. So all ER staff members, including MDs, have to attend an 8 hour class. I won't get into the cheesy title, but...

  2. Have you ever given the 'Nurse Dose'???

    ERNurse752 replied to Dinith88's topic in General Nursing

    Some of our docs will tell us to give whatever we want or however much of something we want (usually with pain meds or vent sedation.) They'll write an order to titrate, or we'll just write down...

  3. Would your managers get lost in the ED?

    ERNurse752 replied to trauma_junkie1's topic in Emergency

    I don't think our ED Director even knows where the ED

  4. What does Drug classification mean?

    ERNurse752 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    I would imagine it's asking for the actual classification/what type of drug it

  5. Tncc

    ERNurse752 replied to Vanfnp's topic in Emergency

    Definitely know the trauma nursing process...assessment is major! Read through the book before you go, and know your anatomy and physiology. It was more stressful than ACLS, but not terrible, IMHO....

  6. what is the youngest mi that you have seen

    ERNurse752 replied to kcrnsue's topic in General Nursing

    18. Cocaine.

  7. Feast or Famine

    ERNurse752 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I know what you're talking about. Usually we can count on summer to be somewhat of a break after enduring the hell of winter/spring. But we've been totally crazy for the last several weeks also. I...

  8. Bf says I smell like corn

    ERNurse752 replied to C'wing's topic in General Nursing

    Take care of a GI bleed pt all day and see what he thinks you smell like then. And I agree that it's probably just hospital smell. I jump in the shower as soon as I get home. Don't want my bed to...

    Welcome!

  10. HELP...... Need Your Advice!

    ERNurse752 replied to Ari RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ask them what % of nurses get a job with them after completing the internship. Then you can decide whether it's worth the risk. Good luck!

  12. Do You Regret Becoming A Nurse?

    ERNurse752 replied to ladylou88's topic in General Nursing

    I don't regret it, but I felt like much like Emily for awhile. It took a change in jobs to get me to feel better. Even if you can't get away from the bedside right now, is there another specialty...

  13. Barcoding/scanning with students nurses

    ERNurse752 replied to 2rntish's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have that system, but when I was in school our instructor had to be there while we got out all meds and went over the orders/allergies etc before we could give them. The instructor just had to...

  14. Chemistry in Nursing School(getting more panicked by the day!)

    ERNurse752 replied to LadyMadonna's topic in General Nursing

    That's really mean of your husband! I could say all kinds of things about that one, but that's not what you asked for. :angryfire :uhoh21: Anyway... A lot of times colleges/universities will have...

  15. Advised not to use security to "intimidate" agitated individual.

    ERNurse752 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    Yelling and calling you a FB *is* physically threatening, IMHO. Like someone else said, what are you supposed to do - just sit there and wait for him to punch you or something, and then call security?...

  16. Unsafe Nursing

    ERNurse752 replied to Ortho_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think "Unsafe Nursing" should actually be considered a new specialty area. ;)/

  17. Help - What style of scrub tops do you prefer?

    ERNurse752 replied to NewNurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    You don't want to

  18. Help - What style of scrub tops do you prefer?

    ERNurse752 replied to NewNurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    I hatehatehatehate all scrub tops! Too stiff and itchy and don't fit me well (tall.) I wear a plain knit fitted shirt underneath a scrub jacket. (And scrub pants

  19. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

    ERNurse752 replied to walnuttree91's topic in Emergency

    I'm not a male, but where I work only females assist with pelvics, whether the MD is male or female. Typically, our males do foleys on males, and our females do foleys on

  20. Taxi vs. 911

    ERNurse752 replied to susswood's topic in Emergency

    Last night we had a lady come in for foot pain (by ambulance.) She left AMA b/c we were taking too long and she had company at home. So she came back at 0300, again by ambulance, for the same thing....

  21. Wondering if my drink was laced??? Need input..

    ERNurse752 replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    Don't try to convince yourself that it maybe didn't happen. Something happened, not just a bad reaction to alcohol. You had hallucinations as well as a black out after drinking an amount your body has...

  22. birth control and a lump( kinda graphic i guess)

    ERNurse752 replied to Godswill's topic in Ob/Gyn

    For BC, I like Nuva Ring. I believe it's http://www.nuvaring.com I took ortho tricyclene for awhile. It was good for my skin, but it gave me migraines. They have ortho tricyclene lo, which is a lower...

  23. Nursing or something else?

    ERNurse752 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's very wise to make up your own mind, like you said. Waiting until you've done your CNA training will give you a nice glimpse at nursing and whether it's for you. And even if it isn't, the...

  24. Medication Aides

    ERNurse752 replied to R.L.Silva's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, here it is. I didn't know what you were talking about in your PM to me, because I posted this about two years ago. I guess the GED thing sounded bad now that I see it in print. I was thinking of...

  25. What are your interests?

    ERNurse752 replied to futurenurse2's topic in General Nursing

    Well, yeah, I like all the things you mentioned, and so do most people I know who became nurses. I would imagine it would be very hard for someone without an interest in some of those things to become...
