  1. Nursing's Love - Hate Relationship with CRNA's

    ERNurse752 replied to kmchugh's topic in General Nursing

    I've never noticed any difficulties between staff nurses and CRNA's where I work...as said above, most of us like them better than the MDs! I can see the other side though, where some people may feel...

  2. Hospital Pay vs. Private Office Pay??

    ERNurse752 replied to MELIS0106's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not from your area, but from what I've seen, office nurses are paid less than hospital nurses. I work in the hospital, and have been a nurse less than a year. My mom has been a nurse for about 7...

    ERNurse752 replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

    "O.K. I must confess this best joke I ever played on anyone....worked with a dr who was sooooo uptight, we had gotten some new vag speculums in, I put some lemon yogurt on one, brought it to him and...

  4. Practical jokes at work

    ERNurse752 replied to fedupnurse's topic in General Nursing

  5. RN to MD....possible or not?

    ERNurse752 replied to zinacef's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's definitely possible, and I agree that RNs will be better MDs b/c of their nursing experience. One of the docs in my ER started as a unit secretary --> tech --> RN --> PA -->...

  8. the nurse/porn connection...........

    ERNurse752 replied to hapeewendy's topic in General Nursing

    When I clicked on this thread, there were 69 views...hehe I agree with the above...submission, being taken care of, intimacy of some duties, most nurses females, plus nurses (I think?) used to have...

  9. What is your favorite part of being a nurse?

    ERNurse752 replied to proud2bme's topic in General Nursing

    hehe...definitely going home. I like trying to figure out someone's Dx based on what they c/o when they come to the ER...try to anticipate what tests are going to be done. Also like fixing people's...

  11. Monster CNA Charged With Murder By Windshield

    ERNurse752 replied to Cascadians's topic in General Nursing

    It reminds me of "Misery." Except the guy in that movie lived, and and crazy woman died... I think they make a point of saying she is a CNA, b/c what she did and what people's opinions of what CNA's...

  12. Waiting Room Signage

    ERNurse752 replied to willa76's topic in Emergency

    We have a sign with a paragraph explanation about how ERs are not run on a first-come, first-served basis, and how the sickest patients are seen first. It doesn't really apply to our non-English...

  16. verbal 'scripts'

    ERNurse752 replied to NCRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ironically, I'm watching Star Trek right now... My hospital tried the script thing. Obviously, no one actually did it, and there was a very large, loud, negative response. One of the big hospital...

  17. Night Shift Differential

    ERNurse752 replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    There is a $2.70 eves/nocs differential in my facility. I am a new grad, and with that, I make $19.10/hour, which is about average around here. I don't think I could support myself if I worked days!...

  18. Bonus for extra shifts: what are your facilities doing for you?

    ERNurse752 replied to timonrn's topic in General Nursing

    Day shift in the ER gets a $150 bonus for every 24 hours worked over their FTE. Nights got some % of bonus, which was greater than the $150, since nights are shorter. But...we just had all of our...

    ERNurse752 replied to V SPN's topic in Ob/Gyn
