  1. IV push rates

    ERNurse752 replied to fleasle's topic in General Nursing

    I also use the Gahart

  2. Dilemma

    ERNurse752 replied to rnrae's topic in General Nursing

    oops... DEFINITELY shadow on the unit for an entire shift before you accept a position. That is something I learned the hard way, and I will never accept a position again, anywhere, without doing...

  3. Dilemma

    ERNurse752 replied to rnrae's topic in General Nursing

    How did the interview go? I'm not sure where you are in the process, but

  4. Going from PCA to RN on the same unit?

    ERNurse752 replied to vegnurse21's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the girl you're talking about is sufferring from RN-itis. As long as you ask for help, instead of order people around...and as long as you don't ask anyone to do anything you wouldn't do...

  5. doubts...

    ERNurse752 replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    Doing nights when you aren't a night person can make you feel pretty depressed, which can cloud your thinking and emotions. That could be part of it, like you were thinking. I hated a lot of my...

  6. Need help re: triage assessments

    ERNurse752 replied to ValleyRN's topic in Emergency

    How are you supposed to triage people without assessing them? Makes no sense. I mean, you don't have to do a full head-to-toe on everyone, but you DO have to assess. Chief complaints mean NOTHING...

  7. ACLS protocol vs Real life

    ERNurse752 replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    We don't use a lot of lido anymore...mostly amiodarone. Most docs already have preferences. In my own experience, I have seen better results with

  9. leaving with iv lock in

    ERNurse752 replied to ellencrn's topic in General Nursing

    We call the police. Haven't ever seen someone inadvertently leave it in or forget about it. Usually it's

  10. for preceptors.

    ERNurse752 replied to mel1977's topic in General Nursing

    When I precept, the student is with me, glued at the hip. I can't teach if they aren't with me! Seems obvious, but then, I like to teach. Not everyone is a teacher. I feel like when I was in school,...

  11. for preceptors.

    ERNurse752 replied to mel1977's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone is intending to attack you, just to provide their opinions on your situations, as well as other situations we have encountered. As you know, it is sometimes difficult to get a...

  12. for preceptors.

    ERNurse752 replied to mel1977's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is that your actions were interpreted as being a know-it-all, even if you didn't intend to come across that way. There was someone in my nursing school class who was always talking about her...

  13. Working with Low WBC

    ERNurse752 replied to MellyOne's topic in General Nursing

    We can't give medical advice on here, since we don't know anything about you. The best thing you can do is talk to the MD whose care you are under, before you go back to work. Hope everything turns...

  14. Nursing Student To Lpn

    ERNurse752 replied to rhoda4christ's topic in General Nursing

    If the dean of your school didn't know anything about it, it sounds like it may not be possible. But check with your state board of nursing just to be sure. Check out the Pediatric forum on this...

  15. People who say they died and were brought back to life

    ERNurse752 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably consider it being brought back from death...but in the sense of being snatched from the jaws of death. Kind of like after we have an arrest, if we get pulses back, we'll say about...

  16. ER nurses having fun onver here

    ERNurse752 replied to PoohGirl's topic in General Nursing

  17. My First Birth as a CNM: FINALLY!

    Woo hoo! Sounds

  18. nurse practioner

    ERNurse752 replied to sweetieann's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    A lot of it depends on what type of "regular" RN experience you have. You can work in EDs with FNP certification and ACNP certification. Some states even have Emergency Nurse Practitioner programs. I...

  19. Tipping a doctor, acceptable?

    ERNurse752 replied to gtmoore's topic in General Nursing

    In Greece, and I'm sure other areas of Europe, this is pretty normal. Not sure what heritage your grandfather or the doc have, but that could also be a

    Glad you're feeling a little better...keep us posted on how things go, and I hope things get better

  21. New grad question for all you pros out there :)

    ERNurse752 replied to Maevish's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't think there is one right answer to this...everyone has a different opinion on the med-surg first vs straight to specialty issue. IMHO, you need to do what is right for you. Work somewhere you...

  22. Help me manage 2nd stage, please. New Gr

    ERNurse752 replied to SpudID's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Don't just assume that it's you. Some people just aren't good teachers, and it sounds like you're having some bad luck in that area! Is there any way you could go back to the second preceptor, the one...

  23. L&D/OB Nurse Pet Peeve-Rant!

    ERNurse752 replied to SuperFlyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh...can't think of anything else better to say than that, hehe. People spend too much time watching "A Baby Story."

  24. how does your er triage?

    ERNurse752 replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    We strictly follow the guidelines given to us by Good

  25. New ED Tech--

    ERNurse752 replied to Pose's topic in Emergency

    It'll be hard at first because there is so much to learn. You're going to spend a lot of time feeling like an incompetent orifice. But you will learn it eventually and it will get better. Sounds like...
