  6. ER Interview Question

    stayseerrn replied to USA RN's topic in Emergency

    Absolutely wear the shirt and tie. I would not recommend the polo, as it appears a bit too casual. Just because our uniforms as scurbs, does not mean that we have to look less than professional when...

  11. Triage sucks!!! Any tips??

    stayseerrn replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in Emergency

    stayseerrn replied to JessicRN's topic in Emergency

    Yep, our hospital had to start calling pts who LWBS and left AMA. We were told that it was some JCAHO thing because of the enforcement of EMTALA now being so strict. They also created an entire...

  15. Stethescope

    stayseerrn replied to Caralee's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    OP, if you are still in the market for a new steth, then I would HIGHLY recommend an Ultrascope. I can hear so well and have no problems doing so. I orignally bought one when I did peds and was so...
