  1. What exactly is so bad about Med Surg?

    RosalindRN replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other pep. Med-Surg is a huge clump of everything. Pt may come in for knee surgery, but has uncontrolled diabetes and goes into a-fib after surgery. So you get so much info you have...

  2. ICU & OR debate...

    RosalindRN replied to Gottago's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely agree with everyone else, its much harder to get into the OR. Where I work you have to do like 6 months or more training as an intern in the OR. The only new grad I've ever known to go...

    RosalindRN replied to PurifiedH2O's topic in General Nursing

  6. This Nurse I Work With

    RosalindRN replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    :lol2:He He! Its funny that someone would bring up this topic. There are nurses on the unit I work on that do the same thing. If a doc is on that they know and it's 2 am, they wont call him for...

  7. Which NC ICUs are adequate?

    RosalindRN replied to nuberianne_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with the OP, I think the level 1 centers will give you a lot of exposure. I have worked for level 1 and some smaller hospitals. I currently work for CMC charlotte and some of their step downs...

  8. "You dont look like a Susan Brown" (long)

    RosalindRN replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, I'm sorry you had to go through this but unfortunately you are fighting a very hard battle. I'm glad you did what you did and handled yourself as a professional. I hope that this never...

  9. Am I crazy to leave Postpartum for Cardiac?

    RosalindRN replied to RosalindRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone. I just want to be sure I'm not making a mistake by leaving. I just want to do what makes me happiest. I like postpartum and my coworkers, but its time for a...

  10. Stethoscope for Nursing School

    RosalindRN replied to karaswthrt4's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I agree with the OP. Littmann is the best in my opinion. I have had others that either tore up or didnt work well. My littmann cardiology II is lightweight so it doesnt annoy me to wear it on my neck...

    RosalindRN replied to Pumpkin1621's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go for it!!! I have been a nurse for 3 years and I've had jobs in several different areas. I am thinking of applying to a local college to do pre-pharm for two years and then pharmacy school. I am so...

  13. Direct Entry GRADUATE NPs

    RosalindRN replied to mvanz9999's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Flame me if you want, dont care. But I have a really big problem with people who are getting a skip pass straight into Advanced Practice just because you went to school for it. I went to school to get...

  14. Calling in sick??

    RosalindRN replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in General Nursing

    As a weekender, you cant call out at all. 1 call out is a verbal, 2 is written and 3 is final or possibly termination. I got my first warning back in May. So I cant have another call out until May of...

  15. If you could do it over again, would you choose nursing?

    RosalindRN replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    No, never! The bottom line in hospitals is business and dollars. Nurses are uderpaid for all the jobs we have to do. I'm a nurse, secretary, dietary, housekeeping, transport and concierge to everyone...

    RosalindRN replied to wisegirl07's topic in Medical-Surgical
