  1. Can you return the bedside? NYC

    Gurmo replied to Birdsofprey's topic in General Nursing

    I'm interested in hearing more. What were some of the challenges, fears, and missteps that may have happened. If you would rather connect outside of this forum I'd be happy with that as well. On my...

  2. Anyone returned to nursing after taking years off?

    Gurmo replied to jmh02s's topic in Nursing Career

    I am thinking of returning after being out for a bit. I'd love to pick your brain more in regards to not only how you landed a job, but the aftermath. Were there things that came back relatively...

  3. RN looking to get into research

    Gurmo replied to ajdenurse's topic in Research

    I too am actually considering getting into research. I've been in a nurse for only 3 years but while I was in school I really excelled in the research aspect of things. I was heavily recruited by my...

  4. "Did you see/Follow up with your Primary Doctor..."

    Gurmo replied to Roy Fokker's topic in Emergency

    I do think a lot of it is education. I mean many of these people don't know that the ED docs are not going to "follow" his/her case and make sure the meds we gave are going to work. I've found that...

  8. How do you guys carry your stuff at Clincal?

    Gurmo replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    If you are carrying a touch, then download a drug app. I had that problem of not enough pockets while I was in school as well. I simply sewed more pockets on my scrubs. Our school scrubs only had a...

  9. I Got the ED job!!!

    Gurmo replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in Emergency

    Congrats. I am a new grad (Aug) that got hired in the ER right away. It has been very exciting and honestly I am not sure I'd enjoy another department (but of course I have nothing to compare it to!)....

  10. Spanish for Healthcare Workers

    Gurmo replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing
