    CainRN posted a topic in Emergency

    Hey all. I currently work as a nursing assistant in an ICU. I enjoy parts of my job, but am starting to get tired of the routine. I've considered transferring to the ER, but I'm not sure I'd fit in...

    CainRN posted a topic in Emergency

  8. no more techs for us....

    CainRN replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    I'm a bit curious, what are your techs responsibilities? I work as a tech in an ICU, but most of my day is consumed with baths. I would imagine baths are few an far between in the ER. I would guess...

    CainRN replied to Kluren21's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you have the time, it would be helpful to work as a CNA at a local hospital. You will get a really good idea of what nursing is all about. Plus, a little cash never

    CainRN posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    Hey all. I just started a new job and I am having a bit of trouble. While doing my training on the unit, all I hear from all the aids and nurses is backbiting. As soon as someone leaves, they talk...

    Big thanks to everyone. I have heard good things about Vandy and now I feel even better about my decision to move to Nashville and pursue a position there. I would love to get onto the Lifeflight...

    CainRN replied to vertigo1022's topic in Men in Nursing

    CainRN replied to vertigo1022's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. I am hoping to pick up one of the new grad internships at Vanderbilt. At his point, the pay isn't my highest priority. I just want a good first job experience. I don't have...

  17. Nashville Male Nurses

    CainRN replied to vertigo1022's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm hoping to move to Nashville soon. How was Vanderbilt? I've heard good things, but there are always two sides. Also, do you know any good areas to live in Nashville? I've heard Brentwood is...

    CainRN replied to CainRN's topic in Men in Nursing

  24. Poo everywhere!

    CainRN replied to CainRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    haha, great story. I must admit, when I started working as an aide, I was not prepared for the sheer gravity-defying abilities of poo. Somehow, it ends up in the weirdest places. Don't get me...
