  1. Writing to the congressmen

    mianders replied to phillipsrn's topic in General Nursing

    I think there was more to it than not wanting to help the community. There are parts of this plan would require doctors to do their residency where the gov. tells them to. Which means telling them...

  2. How Will Universal Health Care Change Nursing?

    mianders replied to arelle68's topic in General Nursing

    It has been a long time since I was able to log on to allnurses and this is the first thread I came to. I have read most of the post and there are some very strong opinions from each side of the...

  4. Would you accept LPN wages as an RN just to have a job?

    mianders replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry you are in the position that you would have to consider such an option. I learned a long time of go to never say never, but I would have to be in a very bad position first. Good

  5. News grads in level 1 Trauma

    mianders replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in Emergency

    I worked in a trauma center that did internships for new grads and it worked very well. It all depends on the expectations of management. Our interns worked side-by-side with a preceptor for a minimum...

    I have never worked at a hospital that paid specialty

  7. ER nurses make $144,000 a year!

    mianders replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in the ER for 12 years and never came close to making that much money, even with OT. There are agency nurses making 40-45$/hr that if they work a lot of OT could top 100k, but you would also...

  8. Dad's trip to ED

    mianders replied to nursej22's topic in General Nursing

    From the information given, I would think the syncopal episode was related to a HR in the 30's and not dehydration. As you stated his SBP was 110. He may have been kept NPO in the ER because they were...

  9. Is the pay really that bad??

    mianders replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot depends on how long you have been a nurse, what area of nursing you go into, and where you live. In the area I live in starting pay for new grads is around $20hr- $24hr. Experienced...

    My suggestion would be to contact the State

  13. Where do you draw the line?

    mianders replied to fuuchan's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that MOST of the people I have encountered in this profession have been professional and curteous. You will find exceptions to this but always remain professional and keep the patients...

  14. ANA is worthless

    mianders replied to Transplant Nurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I also agree. Our hospital has almost a 100% turnaround in nursing supervision in the last 3 years. I have had 3 supervisors in the last 2 years. Anyone that does not go with the status quo is

  15. NPs and PAs

    mianders replied to Erin 321's topic in General Nursing

    We use both in the ER and their roles are exactly the same. They are both advanced practice degrees and are responsible for running the minor care area. They order test and write prescriptions. I...

  16. Patient question... drug screens.

    mianders replied to RosaParksIsMyHero's topic in Emergency

    Medical drug screens are not usually done unless the patients condition warrants it (AMS,ect), and no consent is needed because you consent to tx when you sign in. However for anyone except you to...

  17. All nurses hate their job

    mianders replied to iamhere's topic in General Nursing

    I worked the ER for a long time and when I first started I loved it. Then after about 10 years I started to really dislike it. I changed specialties about 2 years ago and have renewed my love of...

  18. License lookup- address on file with state?

    mianders replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I almost decided to let your complete departure from the original topic of this thread go, but my resentment of your remarks about TX would not let me. I can not tell from your post if you are living...

  19. picc stat lock

    mianders replied to rehabhereIcome's topic in General Nursing

    Our kits do not have alcohol preps, but the sticker comes off pretty easy without any adhesive remover. I always use regular gloves to remove the old dressing and statlock then put on mask and sterile...

  21. Need to know nurse view on ED and ICU location

    mianders replied to gscott's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for years in an ER where the ICU was on the other side of the hospital. There were many times we had to bag a vent patient from one end of the hospital to the other with someone dragging the...

  22. Advice for precepting an experienced nurse

    mianders replied to HRM672's topic in General Nursing

    I would guess from the fact that the exp. nurse is getting 6 weeks orientation that this is a new area of nursing for her. I would not focus on the basic nursing skills but on the the things that are...

  23. Prayer at work??

    mianders replied to ski4life's topic in General Nursing

    As healthcare workers we deal with people of every faith and culture on a daily basis. We are not always going to agree with everything we see or do. I have been in the room when prayers were said by...

  24. Couldnt put in a foley!!

    mianders replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Nursing

    I always found it easier to put the patient in slight trendelenburg, and then have them do a frog leg position. It seems to open everything up so you can visualize it

  25. random drug tests?

    mianders replied to carrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital does pre-employment and for cause drug screens. The only time I have seen them do for cause was if a staff member seemed impaired and once when a staff member in the ER went to...
