Hi all, I'm looking for some guidance as to the appropriate length of time to give notice for resignation from my current position. I have accepted a position elsewhere, and would like to be able to give my new employer an anticipated start date as s...

I recently took on a position as a supervisor of a Kaiser medical office building that encompasses family practice, internal medicine, infectious disease, allergy, OB/gyn, urgent care, ophthalmology, and GI. My position is part-time and involves sha...

I hate dealing with altered patients trying to climb out of bed, pulling out lines, being aggressive... and overdoses which involve NG tubes and administration of charcoal. UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Two security officers take patients to the morgue with a covered, designated gurney at my facility. I work ER.

Daily. Only thing keeping me in it is the great pay and dependability. Completely dislike the actual job.

Los Angeles area, CA 4:1 Level 2 trauma center, acute stroke center, unsure of visits/year but probably around 50,000 Depending on the acuity area and turnover d/t availability of inpatient beds (we may work trauma rooms, regular ED or fast track) we...

The EXACT same thing just happened at my workplace about a month and a half ago, and I feel the same way... something is just not right, I feel kind of disconnected. It's probably related to a bunch of different things, but I'm sure this contributed...

When I started work in NH in 2007, I was making $20.50/hr + $5.00/hr differential for nights. I have a BSN and had no experience at the time. I now live in CA so I can't comment on the current situation, but I do believe that your wage depends larg...

that's what i was thinking. eclampsia? lol

I pick at my scalp... weird I know! If my SO is laying with his head in my lap I will also pick at his... it's more like scratching and then seeing if there is any loose skin or anything after scratching it. I think I get a weird satisfaction out of...

Rest in peace.

INTJ- ER nurse here

I too am bothered by this, for some reason... I know there are far worse things people can do (and worse gestures! lol) but this and the "finger snap" just **** me off to no end!

LOL this is my favorite video on the internet... we love this in my ER

I know this is not helpful in any way but I just wanted to tell you we have the same name :) Good luck!

when i started out in NH, i made 20.50+5.00 night differential. when i moved to the LA area with a year of ER experience, i started at 29.55+4.00 night differential, but have rapidly gotten raises in the year and a half i have been working here. i al...

I drive about 2 miles to my current job. I live outside of LA. There is only one hospital in this city, and the next closest is about 10-15 miles south. I really don't want to drive on the 5 freeway with its notorious traffic, so I take a bit less...

I am so very sorry for your loss. God bless your friend and all other people who go out into these sometimes dangerous situations to help others. I don't know if I could ever do it.

Seroquel, Klonopin and Soma for rx'd meds... and prob. ETOH & tylenol for OTC stuff. I HATE Soma OD's.

I went to Quinnipiac University as an entry level BSN student and their nursing program is no different from any other as far as having all the required qualifications upon graduation; however, a portion of the program is dedicated to learning about ...

Hey everyone, just wanted to share that I just passed my county MICN exam yesterday :) I'm still a little nervous about answering the radio... anyone want to share some experiences?

Accudose is the name of the one at my previous hospital

We just started using these a few months ago... I really did not like them at first because when you're not experienced in using them, it is very easy to blow the vein and it is difficult to flush the catheter in if you hit a valve first. However, a...

Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT for my BSN in 2007 :)

Have you considered COC? I am guessing this is out of the question since you only mentioned those two schools... Just putting it out there though! Good luck!
