So I started a new job in the ER in Feb. I just found out I'm about 6 weeks pregnant. How is working in the ER pregnant?? Is there anything I shouldn't be around?? I'm excited and scared at the same time,especially since it's a new employer. We've be...

I did nights for about 9 months. It was terrible. I was sick all the time and I started having blood sugar issues where even though I was eating every 2 hours my sugar would drop to 50s and 60s. Then my period was 3 months late and I wasn't pregnant ...

So I just found out I'm pregnant. I have a drs appt tomorrow for blood work etc. By my calculation I'm about 6 weeks. How do you handle it in the ED??? Is there patient's I should avoid?? With all the portable xrays and stuff going off I'm almost par...

All shots are up to date except Flu shot. I never get it as I seem to be immune to it. I get the flu if I get it and I get the flu if I don't lol. I never had chicken pox but had the vaccine as a kid. I had all my titers drawn for my new job and they...

I just left a hospital where we used Medhost and now I'm at a hospital that uses IBEX.. I think medhost was much more user friendly and flowed better.

So I've been working full-time in my current ED position for about 9 months. I applied for a part-time position at an ED closer to home for some extra money and figuring I could learn more but working a bit more. I got the call back for an interview ...

for the first year I did

I'm actually considering something similar. I worked tele for 8 months and found a dream ED opportunity. It was a middle shift which is what I really wanted. Well I started the ED and at the end of orientation they put me on nights instead. This was ...

Transfer request is in :). Crossing my fingers

So I'm currently an ER nurse. I like it but I don't love it like I thought I would. I've been in the position for 7 months. Ever since I went to nursing school I've wanted to be a NICU RN. Well my ER is changing our shifts around to a block schedule ...

I wish you luck in your pregnancy. Sadly I became one of those women who was prepped for a D&E. At our first ultrasound at 12 weeks we found out baby stopped growing at 8 weeks. It was a bump in our road of trying to conceive and sometimes I wond...

I was a new grad who went right into tele in June of 2010. I found I got bored. It seemed to be the same thing over and over. I was an EMT prior to an RN so I think I'm an adrenaline junkie, for lack of a better term :) I made the switch to the ER in...

I just wanted general opinions on methotrexate and what your stance is on giving it. I had a situation where I work that my patient had been trying to conceive for 12 years. Finally did naturally only to be told she had an ectopic at 7 weeks. I get i...

Maybe sorry is the right word. I know there was nothing I could have done given that was the order I was given. She was very much devastated and I had to give her bad news twice. I felt awful. I had a missed miscarriage in May so I know how it feels ...

I really like my alegria shoes... I order them at Alegriashoeshop.com. They have $69 sales all the time

So I've been doing night shift for the 2 months. I've noticed the last 2 weeks I keep getting dizzy spells and when they occur I get a bad headache and nauseous. I actually checked myself into the ER at the end of my shift yesterday because the dizzi...

Thanks everyone for your responses. I do have a followup with my primary tomorrow afternoon. I was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else

When I had my physical for my current job the NP who did my exam asked me what my birth control method was. I informed her I was not using any (We are trying to conceive) and she proceeded to ask me why I wasn't using any, was I in a monogamous relat...

We recently had an issue at work where people were "checking in" at Hell on fb which was mapped out as the hospital. Needless to say that made its way to administrations desk

So I'm working in a very busy ER. I started in Feb on Dayshift for orientation and have now been put on nights for my permanent shift. I HATE it!! I enjoyed the job on day shift but hate it on nights. The people are so rude. I had my first night las...

I was aware that night shift was a possibility, however I was told I would be put on a 10-10 shift and at last minute was put on night. I'm trying to go at this with a good attitude and trying to learn. Basically I ask why on the things that seem lik...

yup I did. I'm in NJ. It took me about 8 months to find a job.

I got a $10,000 sign on for 3 years for the ER. I also get $4,000 in tuition reimbursement a year.

Thank you everyone. I'm so nervous, but excited at the same time. I know we don't exactly have a cake job and I don't wanna do anything to jeopardize my future little one. I'm nervous about telling work too since I've only been there since Feb but we...
