RNwondering

Thank you thank you thank you! To everyone for their input! I am expecting a formal job offer by the end of the week once my preemployment testing is back. I think it's going to depend on what the offer is, and whether or not my current boss will allow me to stay on staff PRN. I think it sounds very interesting and I'm not hard to please, generally. It's definately something VERY different from what I'm used to, but the past few times I've visted the clinic, I've gotten pretty good feelings while I'm there. My fiance is BEGGING me to take something on days and closer to home so I think if the offer is good I will give it a shot. I'd really like to keep on PRN where I am at though....there is a part of me that is VERY proud of the skills I have developed and continue to develop and I really don't want to lose those, or if I decide down the road that this isn't for me, I'd hate to have to relearn them. Anyways............the point is, thanks everyone! I will continue to look for posts and insight and I'll post what ends up happening.

We've commonly done that in our ED. Normally our volume is so low, the docs will order 12.5 or 25mg which is a ml or less so we will dilute it some. I've found however that people still say it burns. Recently though, I think it's been awhile since I've given it IM or IV; our Docs are on a Zofran kick.

Hi everyone. I have been an RN for a little over 2 years and have worked in the ED the entire time. I have recently been approached about a job at a Chronic Dialysis clinic and to be honest I know NOTHING about dialysis nursing. I thank everyone in this forum because I have been searching this site reading posts nonstop the past 2 days. From what I'm reading it seems that people either love this or they hate it. Is that a correct assumption? Is there anything that I need to think about before making the change? Is there anyone else who has made the change? (I like the ED, but it's kind of a burn out with the regular pts, (not to mention some of the politics which i'm sure goes on anywhere), I drive an hour each way and I work a strange midnight shift....all reasons I've been looking to change. Am I not changing for the right reasons?) Sorry this is so long. I just really wish I had someone to talk to about this so I appreciate any response. Thanks!
