    ERNurse752 replied to debo_lpnER's topic in Emergency

  18. Docs & Nurses

    ERNurse752 replied to alphafe's topic in General Nursing

    Well, in the ER where I work, we have pretty good relationships with most of our docs...so we would point, laugh hysterically, and mock their mistake.

  19. Opinion re: getting a new patient at the end of your shift

    ERNurse752 replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'd like to hope it's not classic everywhere. Speaking only for myself, if a patient has been waiting several hours for a bed, why not send them up when a bed is ready, even at shift change? It's not...

    ERNurse752 replied to bedpan's topic in General Nursing

    I saw some of it...pretty scary stuff. I think it's good to have someone who can be with a patient while in the hospital. However, if that person isn't a nurse themselves, or something else with some...

  24. Scrub tops that don't shrink to your armpits; anyone know of any?

    ERNurse752 replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I almost always wear a fitted knit top, underneath a long-sleeved scrub jacket. I HATE scrub tops. Scratchy, stiff, can't move without flashing people, etc. I need to learn how to sew!

  25. How long does report take?

    ERNurse752 replied to RNnites's topic in General Nursing

    1.5 hours! OMG! When I did ICU, it took around 30-45 minutes, depending on how many pts, and how sick they were. In the ER, it takes only minutes... :) How do you do report, and what does it...
