   TriageQueen replied to sonnyluv's topic in General Nursing

   I believe from reading the posts that they were saying you should call the pharmacy, not check your drug book. Pharmacists are wonderful resources to

2. Curious to know how many CEU's...

   TriageQueen replied to TriageQueen's topic in Emergency

   CEU's/Contact hours... whatever you want to call them. Technically they're contact hours. There's about a 60/40 split between clinical and "other" hours. The majority of them are from the ENA...

3. Curious to know how many CEU's...

   TriageQueen posted a topic in Emergency

   ...you normally have? I have at least 118.9 that I can account for in the past 12 months, but honestly have no idea how many are

4. Youngstown information

   TriageQueen posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

   Hello everyone! DH and I are thinking of moving to Youngstown (his hometown). I am curious to hear about the reputations of various hospitals, and salary potential. Currently I am a BSN prepared,...

5. ER to OR? Several questions - answers please!

   TriageQueen replied to alkaleidi's topic in Operating Room

   I too am curious to know why one poster said it would be a difficult transition from the ER to the OR. I am currently considering this change myself, and would like advice on what makes a good OR...

6. I don't know how to run!

   TriageQueen replied to TriageQueen's topic in Government, Military

   Thanks so much. I walk quite a bit (besides the 5 miles a day at work). I have tried to start a few of the "couch to 5k" type programs, but seems like I stall after a few weeks and can't seem to get...

   TriageQueen posted a topic in Government, Military

   I'm currently interested in joining the military, but have some time as DH is finishing his degree. However, I am horrible at running! Anyone have suggestions, or stories of how they got into shape...

8. Random questions

   TriageQueen replied to TriageQueen's topic in Government, Military

   It just always stood out to me as odd that they would ask these types of questions. Its interesting to hear other people's experiences with these recruiters as well. I also wonder if it is dependent...

9. Random questions

   TriageQueen posted a topic in Government, Military

   Nearly ten years ago I was speaking with a military recruiter, and one of their "moral type questions" was inquiring as to whether or not I had children, was pregnant now or ever, and if I had had an...

10. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    TriageQueen replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    I remembered a few more... Mother brings 2 children in c/o red bumps to arm (I counted 2-3 on each child), each deny pain, sats 100%, non-puritic. Mother states had called pediatrician, but...

11. Thinking of changing departments (sort of long and venty)

    TriageQueen posted a topic in Emergency

    We've had a lot of really busy months lately, and more days than not we're seeing more than 50 patients/day over our average. We're super short staffed, and management decided to cut all pre-scheduled...

12. ER departments too full for safe care.

    TriageQueen replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    I want to know where they surveyed because my ED definitely sees more than 14% or cases that are non-urgent! And I have worked in the areas mentioned in the article, very large non-insured...

13. Shot time

    TriageQueen replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    I hate to be a PITA, but waiting for shot time wouldn't have made a difference after injection with demerol. The half-life of demerol is somethinglike 3-5 hours, so she still would have gotten a DUI....

14. Stupidest reason to go to ER

    TriageQueen replied to DachRN's topic in Emergency

    We had one come in via medic a few weeks ago because she had a splinter in her finger, and therefore was unable to drive herself... can you say triage waiting room?! Or how about the one riding home...

15. Education topic ideas

    TriageQueen replied to TriageQueen's topic in Emergency

    I have, through the grapevine, requested ideas from other staff members r/t education topics, but unfortunately do not have the resources to offer any good prize for surveys But I do like some of the...
