  3. Help! Need Advise On Nclex

    ERNurse752 replied to jonear2's topic in General Nursing

    My best advice is, don't worry about anyone else...they don't matter. Only worry about you. And don't get so scared and freaked out that you screw yourself up...that's the best way to fail, is to...

  4. A nurse health?

    ERNurse752 replied to babyphat's topic in General Nursing

    I see a lot of people get sick more often during their first year in ER after being exposed to every last little thing...seems to get better after that

  5. IM new!?!?!

    ERNurse752 replied to Redstarr681's topic in General Nursing

    I would also start calling your local hospitals, or looking for their websites. Some hospitals offer the classes, or other classes similar to CNA, and will train you if you get hired on. Good

  6. Scared to be on my own!

    ERNurse752 replied to BeginnerRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ask for more orientation if you really think you need it. Will you be working the same schedule as your preceptor for awhile, for some backup by someone who knows you? Is there good support around...

  7. How long to decide

    ERNurse752 replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in General Nursing

    I would just tell them when you have your other interviews, and say that you want to look into all your options before you make a decision. They'll want you to be sure too, so you don't start there...

    ERNurse752 replied to markjrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Don't have time to type much out, but go to google or another search engine and do a search for Q Ball post op pain relief. I've seen it a couple times...works

    ERNurse752 replied to jilliebean's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Everyone makes mistakes that seem really horrible, incompetent, and negligent from the outside in. But if this was a case of an inexperienced person, they could have been set up to fail by...

  11. diluting I.V lasix

    ERNurse752 replied to ADN2003's topic in General Nursing

    I do not. I give it in the closest port, and if I have NS running, I have it going wide open. I just push the med in increments over whatever time is

    ERNurse752 replied to mom23RN's topic in Emergency

    I gave it IV once and someone gave me a bunch of, uh, stuff about how it's not supposed to be given IV...so I called pharmacy and did some PDR research and found out that it's ok. I'm not sure why...

  16. I'm charging!?!

    ERNurse752 replied to ArmyWife,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Run!!!!!!!! You can't be charge on a unit you're brand new to, with hardly any other experience under your belt. Eek! Talk to them and see if you can get that changed, but even if they back off for...

  17. Does Anyone No Longer Work As a Nurse??

    ERNurse752 replied to mom23RN's topic in General Nursing

  19. do nurses have to ride in elevators often?

    ERNurse752 replied to allexx's topic in General Nursing

    I work ER too, and I take pts places on elevators all the time. Pts of a certain acuity have to have an RN with them, plus a lot of the time there just isn't anyone else available to take pts places....

    ERNurse752 replied to krisssy's topic in Emergency

    Hopefully it is just a virus, but there isn't any way for you to know what they actually told him...all you will know is what he chooses to tell you. I don't think it is normal to drink that heavily...

  21. What's it like to work in a medical clinic?

    ERNurse752 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    If you haven't already seen it, there's a forum on here for doctor's office nurses that has some good discussions that might answer some of your questions. Good luck!

  22. Clinical support nurse position ....help

    ERNurse752 replied to theresa_b's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any way you could shadow a nurse who does the job you're thinking about taking? I've found that's the best way to get a feel for what you're getting into, both with the job and the people...

  25. Question regarding nurses wasting narcs with city paramedics in the ER????????

    ERNurse752 replied to austin heart's topic in Emergency

    I'll witness the waste with a city medic/any other outside medic. Like someone else said above, it's not like any nurse or hospital medic couldn't have put NS or H2O in the syringe just the the
