Where I work, Nurses have to wear navy or royal blue scrubs with a white lab coat, techs wear teal or cranberry scrubs with a matching lab coat. White lab coats are reserved for the nurses. This works well to us employees as we can recognize each oth...

ANYONE, I repeat, ANYONE who can put a 16g in an A/C in the back of moving vehicle at 3am and going code three, has my vote!

The ED there is CRAZY.. (the only level 2 In the area!) The statistic is 340-350 patients a day in the ED! Thats what they told us in a memo.... GOOD LUCK!

[ Make sure you take your lunch break - get off the unit, eat & relax for an hour. An hour???? :eek: Don't I wish! We only get a 1/2 hr.. (if we get one!)

Funny! Thanks for the laugh!

Just remember that you can not possibly know everything, and everyone you will be working with knows that, (although they may not show it!) Just remember to open your mind, ask lots of questions, and NEVER pretend to know something you don't! It's ok...

Wow! Sounds like someone is interested! :chuckle Welcome to the boards Faith! I've learned alot here, and I'm sure you will too!

Now thats a big ditto from here!

BINGO!! I totally agree!

1)Pay them a decent wage, 2)Respect them for the person that they are and the education that they have, 3)Provide them the ability to obtain benefits that they may need to take care of their family, 4) Schedule enough staff on EVERY shift, so that ...
