4. Do you regret being a nurse

   RYNOBLASTER30 replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

   Of course. The health care system is taxing upon all of us. Especially those times when you get the comatose vent patient from the nursing home with a gazillion pressure sores. I get little satisfaction out of my job. People do get better, but th...

   RYNOBLASTER30 replied to ashleyh_84's topic in General Nursing

   Hey we should be guaranteed our lunches and breaks. That's the law. Whatever you want to do on that break is your decision. On my current travel assignment, we have a large lounge with couches. You see ancillary staff, and nurses alike taking cat...

   You know, working in the ICU, these medications change so rapidly. I'm busy getting my patient settled and stabilized. I don't have time to find out why/why not the MD didn't continue certain meds. Let all of us nurses "Get Real!" We can't take r...

11. Does teh new ACLS guidelines make a difference?

    RYNOBLASTER30 replied to burn out's topic in MICU

    To be honest with you the changes are not that drastic. Overall mortality for a patient that arrests either in or out of a hospital is about 65%, pretty high. I have been to numerous codes in my career and I hate to say it but physicans as well as ...

13. Doctor comebacks

    RYNOBLASTER30 replied to NiceShot's topic in MICU

    Hey, go to a teaching facility. You rarely see that type of inappropriate behavior. The type normally comes from older physicians, not new and younger ones. Just remember, they are made that they are getting older and might die soon. And hopefull...
