  2. Nurse Traveling

    I have been a traveler on and off for years, I do not recommend any American Mobile company (from personal experience). Research would be a smart move, but I can recommend Fastaff. If there is a...

    Hello, I was recently considering a travel position there and discovered housing is almost nonexistent out there(besides vacation rentals which were outrageous). I will be interested in seeing any...
  4. Seasoned Nurses Looking To Tattle?

    Hi SionainnRN, Maybe I missed something, but I thought the OP clarified in her second post in this thread that she was giving report to the nurse receiving the patient, so in that case, the nurse had...
  5. Anyone been to Montefiore in Bronx, Ny?

    Hello, I recently accepted a travel assignment at Montefiore in the ED, and I sense transportation might be an issue (at the Einstein campus). Is there anyone here currently at Montefiore, or has been...
  6. Seasoned Nurses Looking To Tattle?

    Hi Rinskins, Reading your post reminded me of recent incident I had recently with a nurse who is new to the ED. Granted she is not a new nurse (the ED requires 1year of acute care experience as a...
  7. Best Phoenix Hospitals to Work For?

    Hi Ziggy, I too am looking at the job market in the Phoenix area, but am not likely to move there for another 9 months or so. I don't know what the wages are for someone of my experience (20 years of...
  8. Treating pain in ER

    Hello OP, As a nurse for almost 20 years now, and currently working in the ER, I can sympathize with what you went thru in the ER recently. So many doc's are "gun shy" as I see it, because they are...
  9. Question About Albuterol Atrovent Neb. Tx

    The albuterol treatment via nebulizer is okay every hour (if necessary), however you should not be giving the Atrovent that frequently. If you have to give more than 4 treatments in a row each hour,...
  10. Bronx Lebanon (Thanks in advance)!!!

    From what I remember, it was any color top, and white bottoms (ugh, took me 10 years of nursing before I was finally able to wear any color scrubs). As a traveler, we only had to look presentable...

  12. Should I tell my NM or not???

    I can answer some of these questions. First the dose of dilaudid was 1 mg, and the nausea med was zofran 4 mg (both in the same syringe and slammed in). The patient's initial VS were 110's/60's, and...
  13. Should I tell my NM or not???

    Thanks Leslie. I think there must be a way to bring this issue to light without singling out the charge nurse in this incident. I think that there are way too many newer/less experienced nurses in...
  14. Should I tell my NM or not???

    The patient was seen by a PA initially. It wasn't until she became extremely hypotensive that everything jumped into high gear (stat portable US, rapid infuser, Levophed, Surgeons called in, etc). As...
  15. Should I tell my NM or not???
