  1. how bad is 11a-11p?

    Jasel replied to ivyleaf's topic in Emergency

    Really just depends on your preference. Personally I can't stand 11a - 11p. It's going to be busy when you get there and busy when you leave. Might make the time go by faster though. And like others...

  3. Terminated After Two Months!!

    Jasel replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I have to agree with others who recommend Long Term Care. It's a slower pace (usually) than acute care and you'll learn valuable skills that you can put into place if you actually decide to try acute...

  4. Anyone familiar with Western Governor's U?

    Jasel replied to BellaCat's topic in Western Governors University

    WGU is affordable. Cost me about $10k for 18 months before I finished. Although it can cost less if you finish faster. I'd recommend the program. Pros = You can test out of many of the objective...

  5. Specialties in Travel

    Jasel replied to tri3mom's topic in Travel

    You shouldn't have any problems with med-surg/tele experience. As someone else said some ICU experience couldn't hurt but isn't necessary. If med-tele is your niche and what you enjoy doing, stick...

    Jasel replied to apal's topic in Agency Nurses

    I like it mostly because I can choose my hours (when they're available at least). If I want to take some time off I

  7. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Jasel replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Yesterday morning at 0630 had a 71 year old man come via ambulance to the ER for some swelling in his left nostril. Denied any pain unless he put his finger in his nose and pushed down on it hard...

  9. RN to BSN- Which classes were you able to finish quickly?

    Jasel replied to HansenRN's topic in Western Governors University

    The classes with only objective assessments (not pre-reqs). I knocked out 18 credit hours my first semester just testing out of classes back to back. The longest I'd say are Biochemistry, Community...

  10. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    Jasel replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

    I'd give them a call. Seemed to work for me. Oh, just saw where you tried that. I think I read on their website they weren't expediting walk in applications anymore for permanent licenses. I'm...

  11. Timeline for endorsing RN license to CA

    Jasel replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

  14. Most Embarassing Nursing Moments

    Jasel replied to Jessiedog's topic in Nursing Humor

    This was probably about a year ago. My team was empty so I saw a patient's name pop up on the board who was being registered out front. I'm sure we didn't have a triage nurse at that time so I grabbed...

  15. when to give up trying to pass

    Jasel replied to avidhunter3's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Honestly I think what helped me the most was going into the NCLEX completely relaxed. I wanted to walk into that exam like I was going on a week long vacation afterwards. I wanted to pass, but I knew...

    Jasel replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

  19. The Stethoscope

    Jasel replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I thought the response they got was over the top. It's a silly show, with silly women who say silly things more often than not. If anything I thought they owed Kelley Johnson (Miss...

    Jasel replied to zornzo's topic in California Nursing

  22. Chronic Extreme Emergency Department Shortstaffing

    Jasel replied to LEFTFLANKPAIN's topic in Emergency

    I gave 2 weeks notice and found another job. And while our staffing was horrible we didnt have over 5 patients unless we were in fast track. Being in that type of positon is not only dangerous for...

  23. ER wait times

    Jasel replied to kp1987's topic in Emergency

    If its triage a nurse i know will tell them, "the next patient to be brought back has been waiting for 3 and a half hours. Be prepared to wait at least that long." If its in the back I just tell them...

    Jasel replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

  25. ER Wishlist Items!

    Jasel replied to HappyKYRN's topic in Emergency

    We have alteplase that we can mix in a couple of minutes. We're supposed to mix it if we think we might have to use it on a patient and if we wind up not using it, our hospital gets reimbursed. This...
