I am interested in moving to Chattanooga from California. While looking on-line many things appealed to me...cost of housing, no state income tax, Tennessee River, outdoor activities. I was wondering what ICU nurses can expect to make in the Chattanooga area. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I recently had to have a hysterectomy(uterus only) because of adenomyosis which caused me to go into hypovolemic shock. Though it can be a process if you contact your local county hospital they can direct you to their OBGYN clinic/ER for care. If your mother is truly saturating a pad or more an hour then her H/H should definitely be low enough to warrant an emergency hysterectomy or at least ablation. Good luck.

As an ER RN who has worked triage on countless occassions I can tell you that it really doesn't have as much to do with being scared of the baby being born with us as it is a matter of resources. Similar to a critical pt which pulls many resources from a busy ER we in the ER do not have the equipment to monitor the fetus appropriately and safely. Because of lack of proper equipment this situation also pulls an ER nurse into that room and prevents her from juggling the multitude of tasks required of her for all of her patients. The ER Docs don't care that the woman behind curtain 2 is having a baby, why haven't you given the medications he/she ordered to bed 4?!?! I've worked ICU/BICU and now ER. I float to pretty much all floors and the one thing I've realized is that until you spend a shift mirroring an ER nurse you can not imagine the multitasking and constant reprioritization that must go on...and never stops. Unlike the floors are department is never full.

Medications have different routes for very specific reasons. IM is not SQ and Vice Versa. As a student if you come across a problem like this in clinical rotations you always have the right to tell your preceptor that you are uncomfortable giving the medication as this was not the way you were to taught and then let your instructor know right away. Don't let yourself be bullied by sloppy nursing.

Maybe I work with a different pt population but if I'm touching people I'm wearing gloves. I've got one word for you...Scabies.

Wow!! I loved this post and when I saw that it was written by a doc I loved it that much more. Some of them actually do know how much we do.
