  3. FNP salaries per state

    emetcal1 replied to emetcal1's topic in Advanced Practice

    Well I didn't consider it much because I wanted to become an NP to be happier at my job. The money isn't what is driving me although I don't think I know of anyone who wants to find a new job making...

  4. Triage process

    emetcal1 posted a topic in Emergency

    Well, we all know how frustrating triage can be. In fact, I try my hardest to never be up there because it stresses me out having people in the waiting room for hours with chest pain. It doesn't make...

  5. Triage process

    emetcal1 replied to emetcal1's topic in Emergency

    Well four hour ekg times is a bit of an exaggeration. It's definitely not always 10 minutes. It's frustrating to have the nurse behind a window. I feel like I can't get anything accomplished and...

  7. checklist for travelers

    emetcal1 replied to emetcal1's topic in Travel

    Thanks for the feedback! I have been a nurse for 3 1/2 years. I am not too picky about exactly where I go, so I will probably stick to the one company to see how everything plays out and seek other...

    emetcal1 replied to Brian's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. Do you encounter attitudes from techs?

    emetcal1 replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    I have the same issue with about half of the techs...especially the ones that have been techs for years and plan on doing it the rest of their lives. I think they see me as a new nurse and maybe a...

    emetcal1 replied to emetcal1's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I went into HR in Riverside and I am not really sure if that is what got me the job, but it somehow seemed to open up the door for me. After I got the job, they said we were all lucky that we were...

    So I should be starting my job Nov 3rd and I am trying to really clear my mind and really mentally prepare myself for the tasks ahead. The biggest fear I have is getting my first assigned patients and...

  21. medication passes your first year

    emetcal1 replied to emetcal1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That definitely helps. I'm assuming in nursing school they are more strict on what each medication does, but it isn't realistic in real nursing I'm assuming. Anything else I should review really well...
