  1. AN - be honest....do I suck as an ER nurse?

    I am impressed with the high quality of feedback provided by all of you. Y'all are making me feel dumb.
  2. Why working as an ED nurse so competitive?

    If you mean most hated by every freaking department in the hospital then yeah... it's the coolest. ?

  4. ANCC and the APHN-BC

  5. Question about Medical City...

    West Texas A&M University: Nursing (LVN) Program Just saying... Currently RN to BSN and I like how the school operates.
  6. I worked home health and hospice for 6 years and I loved it (mostly home health). Good pay. Got to see the sun shine. I enjoyed going different places. Some days I was home by 12. I just got really bored with it.
  7. Drug Seekers

    I think the attitude should shift from "you're wasting our time," to "how can we help a person with a drug problem." However, how do you have that discussion in the ER? Also, what are the odds a drug seeker even wants our help? I have no answers, but...
  8. Love, love, love the ER but hate it too

    I'll jump on the dog pile and say find another facility. Your description suggests a horrible corporate culture which ain't an easy fix. Good luck!
  9. How long is your internship? Maybe ask your preceptor to help with your load a little more so you don't feel overwhelmed and can process more. Not sure if that's a viable option but hoping this suggestion might work out for you. Just remember to be ...
  10. Nurse burnout-How do you handle it?

    I took a six year break from the hospital. I was really burnt and crispy. Have since spent my time working home health and hospice. I've recently just returned to the ER and I'm feeling very energized being back, and raring to go. I've looked at eme...
  11. Fake crying and bad acting in the ER

    This times one million!
  12. Good Read - Myths in Emergency Medicine

    I just learned something. Thanks!
  13. worst, most corrupt agency ever!

    I think with the coming changes in health care and continued cuts to Medicare these types of agencies will start closing up shop. At least I hope so.
  14. Having been per visit in the passt, I made way more money than I would have on a salary position.
  15. St. Joseph-central Texas, Bryan/college station

    I live in Bryan and worked there for seven years. Decent place to work. It's a typical hospital with all the corporate politics. Pay is competitive. Nice facility. Lot's of good people with a few jerks. It's also a fairly busy place to work. T...
  16. Moving to Abilene, Tx!

    So where did you end up living? I'm interested in one day moving to the area and I've been randomly looking on-line at homes. The Buffalo Gap area looks appealing. FM 89 south west of Abilene is a pretty area too.
  17. A Virus Movie Determined to Get Real

    I rented this movie on iTunes about a week ago and finally worked up the nerve to watch it. :) Truly fascinating and utterly frightening film. My wife kept asking why I was watching the film, but she couldn't stop watching either I wished the would...
  18. What is Nsg Dx, and Why Should I Care?

    "What is Nsg Dx, and Why Should I Care?" 1. It's crap 2. You shouldn't End. Of. Discussion. :)
  19. What to do when you have multiple job offers????

    Take 'em to the bank. Seriously, you have leverage to try and negotiate a higher salary. Won't hurt to ask for more. :)
  20. Nursing Schedule and Salary in Mcallen

    Bortaz nails it. This blog details pretty good some reasons not to live in Mexico right now... http://www.borderlandbeat.com/ Some scary stuff. And the violence is slowly starting to creep north too.
  21. Nurses in Japan

    Don't think there's that much contamination. Nice explanation from an engineer on the youtube clip
  22. Triage protocols. what does your ER use?

    Why would the Joint Commision have a problem with that? They're the Devil's agency I swear.

    And this "wins" for pop culture reference of the day. :; Strong work.
  24. Sexy nurse image in Hooters ad

    We have a winner, but change "girls" to people.
