    SnowymtnRN replied to vlemaster's topic in General Students

  3. WHY are nurses so catty??

    SnowymtnRN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I swear sometimes i don't know WHY i'm in this profession. My mom works at a job as a RN and was limping one day. Her knee bothers her from time to time, etc...she's overweight (and working on it)...

    SnowymtnRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Emergency

  19. SO Exhausted

    SnowymtnRN replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Emergency

    personal awareness won't do anything to change it. If there's no one to watch your patients because they are equally or more busy than you are, then there just isn't anyone. Not to mention if i am...

    SnowymtnRN replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

    we use it quite a bit in our ER. about 50/50. I agree with whoever said the patients seem to recover quicker with fewer side effects. It just depends on the patient, tolerance, size, injury,...
