  1. what do u do about a car?

    ERRNTraveler replied to AfghaniPrinzess's topic in Travel

    I drive my care with me from place to place- that way I can pack it full of my stuff, plus I have a dog- she rides in the back

  2. NA's not professionals

    ERRNTraveler replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    For people to say that I as an RN can't do a CNA's job is absolutely ridiculous! Um... I used to be a CNA before I was an RN, so, I KNOW that I can do a CNA's job, because I have before. That is...

  3. NA's not professionals

    ERRNTraveler replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    It irritates me, too, but I also have to laugh at the things this person has written- it's obvious that trying to change his mind is a waste of breath, so perhaps if & when he becomes an RN he'll...

  4. What have I done?

    ERRNTraveler replied to adnstudent2007's topic in General Nursing

    You'll have that every now & then- especially with new doctors or residents. If I have a suggestion on what med to give, I'll suggest it by saying something like "Zofran has worked pretty well...

  5. NA's not professionals

    ERRNTraveler replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    I can't wait until you're a nurse, either, because maybe then you will realize just how wrong you are.... I hope you can come back to this thread after you have been an RN for a year, and have a...

  6. A week off for cataract surgery?

    ERRNTraveler replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    I had eye muscle surgery last year- I was intubated, had general anesthesia, and had internal sutures behind my eyeballs. I was off of work for a week, and then had lifting restrictions for a month,...

  7. Prayer and patient care.

    ERRNTraveler replied to WhiteFlowerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have prayed with family members when they have asked me to (meaning I just bow my head while they actually pray), and I have heard family members praying for me ("please bless the doctors &...

  8. What have I done?

    ERRNTraveler replied to adnstudent2007's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't worry about it- like Sue said, the doctor knew about the patient's condition & wasn't concerned. Just because a person has hepatitis, that doesn't mean that they can NEVER have...

  9. NA's not professionals

    :yeahthat:

  10. Lazy Charge Nurse in ED

    ERRNTraveler replied to BriBriRN's topic in Emergency

    Most ER charge nurses don't take patients, and they're not supposed to. Almost every ER I've worked at has a patient-free charge nurse. I agree with the others- if she's helping you out, where's the...

  11. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    ERRNTraveler replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    This just sounds waaaaay out

  12. Would You do the same thing I did?

    ERRNTraveler replied to vnsam's topic in General Nursing

    These symptoms warrant a dose of Tylenol or Motrin, and a trip to the Pediatrician's office when they open. Things that are LIFE OR LIMB THREATENING warrant an ambulance call (chest pain, difficulty...

  13. Pray for me!!!!!!! Only 9 weeks until this assignment ENDS!!!!!!!!!!

    ERRNTraveler replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    There is another nursing board- www.ultimatenurse.com, that actually has a review section for travelers to review different hospitals they've been at, to share their experiences with others. I find...

  14. Pray for me!!!!!!! Only 9 weeks until this assignment ENDS!!!!!!!!!!

    ERRNTraveler replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    The original poster already shared the name of the hospital, but then one of the moderators/administrators edited the name of the hospital

  15. Mary Jane Crocs

    ERRNTraveler replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in General Nursing

    And with NO GLOVES! By the way, where does one get "sheep-lined" crocs??? sounds

  16. nurses as patients

    ERRNTraveler replied to danggirl's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse I used to work with had to have his tonsils out. He is known for his strange sense of humor, so before he went in for the surgery, he wrote "FULL CODE" upside down on his forehead, so that...

  17. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    ERRNTraveler replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    so, really, if you think about it, woot =

  18. Having a hard time with resume

    ERRNTraveler replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    I don't include any of my non-medical related jobs on my resume, but, if you are a new grad with NO prior medical-related work experience, then you will just have to put your last few jobs on your...

  19. Shift times

    ERRNTraveler replied to steelersRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work in ER, and travel all over the country, and have worked the following shifts at various hospitals: 3a-3p 6a-6p 7a-7p 11a-11p 7p-7a (this is mostly what I work)

  20. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    ERRNTraveler replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's almost time for me to get to bed, but before I do, I'll use the bathroom, wash my hands with my FREE HAND SOAP, take a bubble bath, dry off with my FREE BEACH TOWEL, & then put on my...

  21. Pushing drugs for the Man bother anyone?

    ERRNTraveler replied to somebody's topic in General Nursing

    FYI- "Somebody" isn't a nurse, and isn't in nursing school either. "Somebody's" occupation = handyman (check the

  22. Pray for me!!!!!!! Only 9 weeks until this assignment ENDS!!!!!!!!!!

    ERRNTraveler replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    But the traveler is the one who posted the name of the hospital they're at, and then it was later edited out by someone else (a moderator). If the traveler was OK with posting the name of the...

  23. RX for K+ Chloride AND Na Chloride

    ERRNTraveler replied to discobunni's topic in General Nursing

    10ml of Sodium Chloride (which is just normal saline) IV Q 8 hours would just be a routinely scheduled saline

  24. Patients Treat Nurses Like Garbage!

    ERRNTraveler replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think for a minute that pediatrics will be any better. I worked in peds as a new grad, and sometimes the parents made it absolutely unbearable! Like the ones who will sit and have a fit when...

  25. Pray for me!!!!!!! Only 9 weeks until this assignment ENDS!!!!!!!!!!

    ERRNTraveler replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    OK, I have to ask.... why was the name of the hospital edited out??? Why is it not acceptable for travel nurses to utilize this site as a networking tool, sharing experiences (good AND bad) at...
