    new RN's in specialty areas

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to sunny261's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure any placement of nurses should be tailored to the nurses personality and ability to learn. I started ER as a new grad, but I had worked as a ER Tech so was accustomed to the flow....

    Why didn't the doctor treat EVERYONE for this???

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

    Scabies is horrible! I am intimately acquainted, if you know what I mean! Father in law was in the hospital last year, went to rehab then came home. He was taking new medications and is very old, so...

    I hate direct admits

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

    If you guys don't like direct admits, you can imagine when the hospital is at full capacity and those "direct admits" with their prescriptions in hand come to the ER and are told to wait-there are no...

    dispensing medications

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to 9309's topic in Emergency

    Our pharmacy fixed this too! Pre-bottled pain killers and single doses to go are in our pyxis with labels, and a sign-out book the physician and nurse sign. It is an excellent process for those 2...

    Transfer at change of shift?

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

    Our ER is 55+ beds, and when patients receive a bed they go! The only exception is if I have someone coding, or I am slammed with new patients who are very sick. Obviously, moving a patient up...

    I "got the talk" at the end of my shift today sorry long

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to ER06's topic in Emergency

    While it is fresh in your mind, outline the type of assignment you were given and the demands placed upon you that night. Put this in writing and hang onto it, just in case they call you on that...

    100% Online RN-BSN

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

    Good point, I hadn't considered my public health, career exploration or management (shadow) a type of clinical. I suppose it is. Thanks

    Should Nursing Schools Change What They Teach?

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

    Interesting....customer service, hospitality and micro management. What hospitals want is robonurse. It is not reality and it's dangerous. We should not allow it! No way, no how! Everyone has...

    100% Online RN-BSN

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

    Why would you need any clinical time if the program is RN to BSN. Any RN license holder would already be a nurse who had clinicals and passed NCLEX examination. The rest of a BSN is basically...

    Please ask responsible and thoughtful questions!

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to TRAMA1RN's topic in General Nursing

    What an interesting OP. As a fairly new nurse, I am always interested in what others have to say and offer as their opinions. It's interesting....as I have gained a certain level of experience, it...

    I was a victim of sexual assault.

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

    So sorry this happened to you. You need to take care of yourself..you did nothing wrong! Your husband will come around, as a law enforcement officer he has seen this happen elsewhere. He is...

    Typical Cost for RN-BSN programs?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to mcknis's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Cost is directly proportional to time involved. If you are continuing at a state school and taking regular classes it will take several years, therefore it is substantially cheaper. The type of...

    If you attend CCM?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to coopman712's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    They will as long the as the description is the same. CCM actually has lecture with dissection lab for A&P 1 and 2. If you had A&P without this you may have to take lab at CCM. Same with...

    new grad, cant get hired

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to jojo19's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    What really annoys me is that the programs are not being truthful to those applying. In 2006, I ran into a former professor while shopping and told her I was working in northern NJ in the ER. She...

    hiring freeze

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

    My understanding is that state funding has been used to float the underinsured and the uninsured at certain hospitals. If funding is cut, or withdrawn, a decision is made (business decision)to close...

    hiring freeze

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

    Not surprised in NJ, our governor has pledged to close 25 hospitals to save money. As they close, our patient population has risen. Our suburban hospital now has an urban population with increased...

    shocked by ER nurse!

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

    ebear, Thanks for the comments....the sad thing is that I always thought everyone's care for their patients was equivalent to mine. It's been a real eye opener for me over the past few years. I had...

    Does anybody had seen a nurse with tunnel earrings?

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

    I wouldn't have an issue with you being my nurse, however, many patients would. People are uncomfortable with the unfamiliar, and they may fear if you buck society's norms, you may not follow the...

    shocked by ER nurse!

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

    I am an ER nurse and I don't find anything surprising about nursing or patients. While I agree it is ill advised to treat one's family members, I have also found that it is usually in their best...

    ED protocols that include zofran?

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

    Zofran tabs are part of standing orders in triage for nausea and vomiting. It recently came off US patent and is now very cheap to administer iv and by tablet. The only high cost zofran is now the...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to jojo19's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    So sorry you are having troubles....it's only going to get worse in NJ. I have heard that the governor wants to close 25 hospitals in NJ to save funding. This is impacting nursing on many fronts. In...
