  1. Brandon vs. Kissimme

    rwright15 replied to Lore77's topic in Florida Nursing

    I work at BRH and absolutely love it. That pay is average around here. One thing about Brandon, for as long as I've been there, you can work 5 days/week. That really adds up. There are many places...

  2. Large bore IV

    rwright15 replied to remf3's topic in Emergency

    I work with nurses who think a 20 is sufficient for everything and state they just don't understand nurses who put 16 or 18's everyone. I never put less than an 18 unless it's physically impossible,...

  3. Toradol/ketorolac for major trauma pts

    rwright15 replied to back2bRN's topic in Emergency

    WBC would be high after a trauma without the presence of infection (FYI). Most md's do not want a pt with a head injury to receive narcotics. It's just simply unsafe to give right away. I would...

  4. 4th day off of ED orientation...what have I gotten myself into?

    rwright15 replied to oddaud's topic in Emergency

    Something else... If you find yourself with some downtime and it's not your lunch, look for another nurse who looks overwhelmed and offer to help them in some way. You will gain the respect of your...

  5. 4th day off of ED orientation...what have I gotten myself into?

    rwright15 replied to oddaud's topic in Emergency

    These feelings will pass. It might take 6+ months, but they will if you just stick to it. One thing's for sure, you either love or hate the ED, but you don't need to make that decision until you've...

  6. Any RNs applying Dermabond out there?

    rwright15 replied to HikingNinja's topic in Emergency

    The hospital I worked in when I lived in TN would not let us. It may be a facility policy, but I was always under the impression it was not in our scope. It had to be done by MD, NP, or PA. Same...

  7. RN jobs outside of bedside nursing

    rwright15 replied to OliveRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    You could try school nursing though you would still have patients... You could do a Dr office, surgery center, forensic nursing, legal nursing where you review charts and testify in lawsuit cases....

  8. patient confidentiality

    rwright15 replied to lauren3333's topic in General Nursing

    When you do become a nurse, you will learn that we need a way to vent.... Usually this is talking about the cases that we deal with. I talk about my experiences all of the time. However, I don't...

  9. Would you go to the ER for this?

    rwright15 replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering with all the millions of ambulatory care clinics and walk in clinics, why she can't get an appt. Most of them are "no appt

  10. "NP's Are Smart Nurses" ????

    rwright15 replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I have to remind dr's and pa's all the time of tests they should order, allergies that the pt has they forgot and wrote a script for, and so forth. Their ego's get in the way of them a lot of the...

  11. New nurse quiting after 7 months of working.

    rwright15 replied to TxRNtoCaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just went through this exact same thing. My husband transferred From TN to FL less than 3 weeks ago. Being a graduate in May 2009, I have 9 months ER experience. I looked at all the hospitals...

  12. Reasons for nursing always epic?

    rwright15 replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    I was a hairstylist and needed a dependable form of income... No glamour there. I did however, fall in love with it once I started. I feel now that it is my true calling. My love for it is what...

  13. Do you wear your engagement rings at work?

    rwright15 replied to SarahBerah's topic in General Nursing

    I wear my band, but not my ring with the stand up diamonds. I am always afraid that a glove will catch it, rip out the diamond, and it will be hours before I

  14. Possible Job Interview...

    rwright15 replied to TiffanyJB's topic in General Nursing

    I would say yes... I had an interview last week. I wore some black slacks and shoes that I had, and bought a new neutral khaki colored button down shirt. I only spent $15. I ironed it crisply and...

  15. Best scrubs for pear shaped women?

    rwright15 replied to tigerlily345's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to say KOI again.... They have some of the longest shirts I've wore. My friend that I mentioned earlier is 6'2" and they are long enough for her. Try them sometime... I am an apple...

  16. HCA

    rwright15 replied to jonesey22's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just took a job with HCA and am hoping for the best. I've heard many opinions from opposing sides in regards to HCA. As far as them outsourcing dialysis, it is just a fact that not every acute...

  17. Best scrubs for pear shaped women?

    rwright15 replied to tigerlily345's topic in General Nursing

    Urbane have really short tops... That's what I don't like about them. I am not pear shaped, but my friend is. She wears KOI and they tend to be very flattering to her body

    rwright15 replied to thenursingapprentice's topic in General Nursing

  25. Use of C/O in Documentation

    rwright15 replied to darrell's topic in General Nursing

    I use "C/O" and "reports" interchangeably. I don't think C/O makes the pt sound like a complainer. I'd go with what the facility policy is. If this is just coming from another nurse, then I'd blow...
