Congratulations! I did my first cath yesterday on a gorgeous fireman! OMG, I was nervous. Can you imagine? A fireman? Oh well, I'm old and married, anyway. But he was a fireman...

Couple of things to point out in this thread: 1. "At will employee" does not mean you can't file for unemployment. It just means they can fire you without cause. When you file for unemployment, though, if they fight the claim and can't show cause dur...

I didn't give you Kudos for the post below and this is the one my analogy referred to. I guess I didn't realize you weren't speaking to the OP, but whoever you were speaking to it wasn't a very compassionate response. That's what I was saying.

I posted :grn: because, by your own logic you weren't acting very compassionate towards the OP. Take this analogy: Mom walks into room and finds one child hitting another. She immediately begins to hit the child who was doing the hitting and says, "D...

:grn:

Just remember, if you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else. I bet you're going to find things going a whole lot smoother by getting your study time out of the way before you go home. You're going to retain more because it's...

You can take the NCLEX anywhere, but you must apply for your license in the state in which you want to practice. Call the Georgia Board of Nursing and ask them how you should proceed.

I think you may be being a little too hard on yourself and letting others be too hard on you, too. Let up a little bit. If the only ding you got on your clinical evaluation is "time management," you're not barely hanging on. You're doing just fine. I...

:angryfire:

Every time I read things like this I get shocked first by the alleged behavior and then the defenses that follow. Doctors and nurses are professionals and this is in no way professional behavior. Period. "Stupid baby" and "f'ng" baby may mean, "I'm ...

Congratulations! :balloons:

I may be an idiot, but I think people get what they give. Sure, there are petty people out there, in every job and every profession. They don't tend to bother me much, because I don't bother with them. If you're focusing on your "little job," instead...

Thanks, llg! I think it will all turn out fine. :)

At the beginning of the semester I found out I had gotten my first choice for preceptorship - ED. I'm supposed to start next week, but the hospital just told our school they've decided they don't want students in the ED because of H1N1. Why? I'm goin...

I just found out I'll be going to Neuro ICU. I'm not so upset anymore. In fact, I'm excited. Now, not as excited as I was about ED, but I'm still excited. It's going to be a lot different...

No offense taken, llg. That would actually make more sense than that they're worried I might catch something and die. I'm just extremely disappointed, obviously. I've already talked to my preceptor and she's so awesome. I was so happy to find she was...

JT - How can a flu virus be more of a liability that TB, AIDS, assault, or whatever else you can get, or have done to you in a hospital - ED, or otherwise? Especially, if I'm vaccinated against that particular virus? It doesn't make sense. My other t...

Same here! Ex-smoker. Ex-Republican. I've gotten much smarter with age. Now, I'm a die-hard, Democrat. (Although, I have to admit, I was never a very good Republican.)

Yavapai College in Prescott has no waiting list. I started there after I was placed on the Maricopa CC waiting list. I graduate this December - a year earlier than I would have had I waited for my placement at MCC. https://www.yc.edu/content/nursing/...

Congratulations! :balloons:

You're right. I didn't notice. Just noticed the theme of ernoc333's posts. It's all tongue in cheek anyway.

Congratulations! That's very exciting! :balloons:

ernoc333, I notice in the other two posts you've started you seem to be very frustrated by patients in the ED. Now, that I've read this post it's quite clear. You even state so in the title. Maybe, you should take a little break? Perhaps you could mo...

I think it's weird someone would come in with rhinitis for 30 minutes prior to arrival. It would take 30 minutes to walk to the car, drive to the ED, and park. Then you have to check in, wait for triage, if there is anybody else there who's really si...

Oh no she didn't just clean a very messy C-Diff patient with several warm wash rags and then lay those rags on the in-the-wall shelving in all their germy glory. And no I didn't find, a week later, dried poopy wash rags in another patient's room sitt...
