ahh.. Well good luck to you all; I am sure you will do well! Dr. Foote can be tough but you will be prepared for "real life nursing". I sometimes think in retrospect that she was like that on...

Hey Sara: The only trauma hospital in RI is RIH. You would have to orient to the ED, then they switch everyone around and so some shifts you would be in a trauma bay and others in triage and so on and...
Thank you everyone. I did contact HR and will wait to see what comes of that. I have the computer printouts of my assignment that shift and gave a copy to HR as well. HR seemed very receptive when...
I have been a RN for about 2 years in a very busy emergency room. To begin with, we are almost always short-staffed. On the particular night in question, I initially had 4 patients in the critical...
