  1. Relationships with floor nurses?

    FlyingScot replied to theantichick's topic in Emergency

    Kind of hard to read your tone but if you meant to be sarcastic take a look at my profile and draw your own conclusion. In an effort to prevent further thread hijacking feel free to PM me and I'll be...

  2. Relationships with floor nurses?

    FlyingScot replied to theantichick's topic in Emergency

    That's good to know but both those meds have a short half-life. Do you guys start a Propofol or Versed

  3. Relationships with floor nurses?

    FlyingScot replied to theantichick's topic in Emergency

    Not to hijack this thread but why on earth was the patient only getting Vecuronium and no sedation? Not blaming you of course but paralyzation without sedation is

  4. New Grad RN can't find a job

    FlyingScot replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I found that thread!

  5. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

    FlyingScot replied to mirandaaa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And posting a thread with the intent to talk about experiences with bad nurses will accomplish this

  6. Level 1 Trauma vs Level 2

    FlyingScot replied to nichadwi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure the following are the things your facility lacks which is why it is a Level 2 (especially the research part). I think many ED directors are so proud of their trauma programs they may...

  7. Level 1 Trauma vs Level 2

    FlyingScot replied to nichadwi's topic in General Nursing

    In-house, 24/7 coverage by an opthamologist is not a requirement of a Level One Trauma Center. There is likely another reason. That being said, there is not too much of a difference between Level 1...

  8. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

    FlyingScot replied to mirandaaa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Mirandaaa, I'm sure you have had some really bad experiences where you were treated in a completely unacceptable fashion but do we really need an entire thread of stories about rotten nurses? What...

  9. Car

    FlyingScot replied to MyNiche's topic in Home Health

    That's what I needed to know!!!! I really think a Subaru Outback would be perfect and in New England you should have no difficulty finding one. I also second getting snow tires. Your best bet would...

  10. Car

    FlyingScot replied to MyNiche's topic in Home Health

    But what kind of WINTER weather do you drive in? I'm not trying to figure out where you live but there are cars that are better for snow and ice. If you live in Florida that doesn't matter. Are you...

  11. Car

    FlyingScot replied to MyNiche's topic in Home Health

    What kind of winter weather do you drive in? It makes a huge difference in car

  12. Coworker tried converting me on my break

    FlyingScot replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    Are you talking about the OP's experience or Snailszy's? If it's the former no that wasn't bullying. If it's the latter I agree. Although that person sounds like she's got a screw

  13. Need help with Laboring, Postpartum, and Neonate Care Plan!

    FlyingScot replied to lindygirl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you in maternal-child nursing at this

  14. Need help with Laboring, Postpartum, and Neonate Care Plan!

    FlyingScot replied to lindygirl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Part of the reason you struggle with nursing care plans is because picking a medical diagnosis and then trying to find nursing diagnoses that fit is entirely the wrong way to do it. Pretty sure Esme...

  15. ICU Nurse Considering Ambulatory Care

    FlyingScot replied to lassenlake's topic in General Nursing

    I was in much the same boat as you OP. My entire nursing career was in some sort of pediatric critical care with a seven year ED stint and a ton of transport/flight experience. In 2008 there were 36...

  16. Can I find a "desk" RN job without experience

    FlyingScot replied to SoulSpirit_Rn's topic in Nursing Career

    Holy Necro-Thread Batman!!!! RNLouise, it's really not safe to post your email address on a forum like this especially if that's your real

  17. PICC dressing change nurses notes

    FlyingScot replied to lindygirl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Please, please always document the external catheter length and check it when changing the dressing. I cannot tell you how many times I have found mal-positioned catheters just based on changes in the...

  18. Medication Error - 53 is this for me

    FlyingScot replied to Mindfulone1's topic in Patient Medications

    Oh come on! Have you never made a med error? The OP took full responsibility for her mistake. She made no excuses. She's already endured enough self-flogging to the point of thinking she should quit....

  19. Overflow in the er

    FlyingScot replied to medic978's topic in Emergency

    But if there were no open beds where did you put

  20. Medication Error - 53 is this for me

    FlyingScot replied to Mindfulone1's topic in Patient Medications

    I really liked this post but the bolded sentence gave me pause. I think that it's never a good thing to say "well I screwed up but nothing bad happened." That can come off in a way you never intended....

  21. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    FlyingScot replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Uh uh! I have research to prove that that's only correct if they come from Washington State. But it's moot because I always buy every last one of the red and yellow apples so your kids have to eat the...

  22. Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

    FlyingScot replied to NurseCalif's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You stated the first bolded quote as a fact not as your personal experience. The problem with this is someone else might just read your post and think you are accurate in your statement and they might...

  23. Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

    FlyingScot replied to NurseCalif's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh for the love of all things holy yes it will take your money if the first of two scorings that take place indicate you failed. It has happened. For the trick to be accurate you need to wait 24 hours...

  24. ACLS/PALS Certification ONLINE??

    FlyingScot replied to RainPotter's topic in General Nursing

    There is no true ACLS that is completely on-line. As stated before you'll either get a card from an ACLS lite organization (not AHA-the gold standard) or you'll have to have an actual instructor run...

  25. GOD in NURSE is the Difference!

    FlyingScot replied to sunkanmiolaniyi's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm thinking English isn't the OP's primary
