  1. Why did I ever go into Nursing?

    ERNurse752 replied to chocolate123's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't think it's nursing that is the problem here....you have a crappy job! No way could I tolerate that. I'd be applying at several other facilities/hospitals and putting in my two weeks

  2. After a few years of nursing, you don't care anymore?

    ERNurse752 replied to jenthehen828's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for seven years. I still care. I care a

  3. VENT... beware- not a happy post

    ERNurse752 replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    It's the ones who care, who are smart, and do a good job who get burned out like this. I hear you, loud and clear! I moved from the ER to poison center, and am waaaaaaaaay happier. Still all the...

  5. Any advice on how to handle........

    ERNurse752 replied to LadyJRN1's topic in General Nursing

    Well...I was in a pretty toxic place for awhile. I quit. I found a better place to work and am much happier. I don't think there was anything I could do to make things better, unfortunately. When...

  6. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

    ERNurse752 replied to jessi1106's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm a pretty strong introvert. I think you just have to find the right environment for you, no matter what type you are. I think the true definition of introvert and extrovert (at least with MBTI)...

    ERNurse752 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that much about it myself, but there are a couple discussion boards where I have gotten some good information: The Trouble Trying to Conceive board on thenest.com...

  9. viper bites

    ERNurse752 replied to baloobaba's topic in General Nursing

    Glad you found some articles. :) This is not a journal, obviously, but what we do is support/elevate the affected extremity on pillows, at about the level of the heart. So, loosely immobilized, but no...

  10. viper bites

    ERNurse752 replied to baloobaba's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there, Do you have access to PubMed? http://www.pubmed.gov I got some hits on google by searching for "journal of toxicology + snake bites." Also try researching the antivenin called CroFab. I...

  11. The Future: You Must have a Masters to Apply to a Nurse Anesthesia Program??!!

    ERNurse752 replied to papmar's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To my knowledge, you won't need a masters to get in. You will just graduate with a doctorate, kind of like what they're proposing with NPs. (And like how PharmD, DPT, etc already

  12. Capstone/Preceptorship

    ERNurse752 replied to Fruit's topic in General Nursing

    Don't listen to your classmates, listen to yourself. If you want to do NICU, I'd do a NICU capstone. I would also try to get a new grad NICU position. They may be competitive, but having had a...

    She sounds screwy. I'd be afraid of something green that drips and

  15. "Fire safety training" and "Blood borne pathogens training": where to get train?

    ERNurse752 replied to seneyka's topic in General Nursing

    If they require them, I can't imagine they wouldn't either provide them, or tell you where to do them. Every hospital I've worked for has required those, and provided them to us. Usually they're just...

  16. Starting to really HATE clinicals!!!! LONG

    ERNurse752 replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I hated and despised nursing school clinicals too. Someday, they will be over. Don't let them get to you. Karma, baby. Just remember

  17. Anybody regret leaving the bedside?

    ERNurse752 replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Nursing

    *slap* Give it some time. Are there any opportunities for you to make a difference in your new role? If you don't see any yet, maybe they will present themselves over time. I am currently in a...

  18. Nightmare Families and Hospital protocols

    ERNurse752 replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto locking the break room with a punch pad. And if there's a window, block it. Take off any labels that state "Break Room." Change them to "Staff Only." Or no signage at all. Social worker.

  19. Pretend you are my Preceptor in L&D

    ERNurse752 replied to neeniebean's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You don't need to be an expert. Attitude is everything! (Well, almost everything, anyway.) Review your notes from class. Read through the obgyn forum on here. Be honest. Be interested. Ask questions....

  20. I can't do this anymore...(VERY VERY LONG)

    ERNurse752 replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    You need to see a physician, stat. First your family/primary MD for medical evaluation, then a psychiatrist or licensed therapist. Call as soon as the office opens in the morning. You need help. If...

    ERNurse752 replied to 4x4country's topic in General Nursing

    18 years old or when sexually active, whichever is first. (Or if you're having problems, of course...pain, bleeding, irregular periods, etc.) My mom thought that too, so I didn't go until I was 22,...

  24. should new grads work in med/surg?

    ERNurse752 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Do what makes you happy. If you don't, you'll be miserable, and that isn't good for you or your patients.

  25. birth control and pap HELP SCARED

    ERNurse752 replied to 4x4country's topic in General Nursing

    As for what to ask the OB, I would just write down all the questions you mentioned here. That way you won't forget when you're nervous when you're there. Tell her it's your first exam and that you...
