    New nurse or just plain stuipd?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to stilltrying's topic in General Nursing

    What everyone appears to be missing is that this nurse while new, has been working AS A NURSE FOR 1+ YEAR! She just sounds like it is not her forte. Some people never get in the swing of...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose young and single...no responsibilities...50K sounds good! Live in the northeast...housing in NJ starts 250k in bad areas to own a home...then there's the matter of the highest taxes in the...

    New nurse or just plain stuipd?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to stilltrying's topic in General Nursing

    NJ is the same way. You must be an licensed nurse prior to inserting IV catheters, in addition in my facility you must be certified. Personally, I wonder if OP is really being harsh....this nurse has...

    pay

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to josh1974's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse fired for calling police

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to cmh25's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    WHY do we need more nurses

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to getinfall's topic in General Nursing

    Let's face it...being a manager at McDonalds has more prestige, and in many circumstances is thought of as a "position" with more potential than that of a nurse! When you consider all of the...

    ER Nursing, Is it considered critical care?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to NicNac's topic in Emergency

    Has any dr tried to get you to do something outside of your scope?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Really...the thought is, the doc pushes, we chase with the normal saline 10cc flush. If patient codes doc on site and made the decision. Maybe its because NE is so sue happy.
