  5. 'cattle calls' in ER waiting room?

  7. Touching blood without gloves

    I don't think there is ever a good reason to put your health at risk for a patient. Even if this lady was losing massive amts of blood, she could always get fluids and a transfusion if it were that...

  9. wrong name on the discharge papers

    Actually this is a HIPAA violation. The hospital can be fined $500k for this incident. I only know this because the same thing happened at my hospital and the pt didn't handle it as cool as yours did...

  13. Scheduling in the ED

    My ER is a level 2 trauma center that sees around 300ish patients a day. - set 3wk pattern - no call requirement - if they are short staffed they start calling ppl to see if they want to pick up...
  14. Tell me about your ED

    Hi, I'm moving from Atlanta, GA to PA (somewhere between Philly/Quakertown/ Lehigh Valley) next year. I'm in an ER at a Level2 trauma center right now. By the time I move I will have exactly two full...
  15. Hi All, I've noticed that it seems like no one likes to answer questions about pay rates, but I still have to ask. I now have a full yr of nursing experience (in the ER). A soon-to-be former...
  16. Hi all, So, its official, I'm gonna be moving to Quakertown, PA!! I'm an ER RN so I definitely want to work at a trauma center, level 1 preferably, so I know I won't actually be working in...

    I forgot to ask about patient ratios....specifically for the er.
  18. Ballpark pay rates for experienced RNs

    $18/hr is insane.....but that's why I wanted inner city wages because rural hospitals aren't competitive with their pay. Good luck with ur NP
  19. What certifications do you have???

    Hi all, I've officially survived my first year in the ED with good reviews from my supervisor. I'm ready to take the next step in my career. I do ultimately plan to go back to school for NP (I have a...
  20. Triage at the bedside

    At my hospital, we have "team triage". There are 3-4 RN's doing triage in little triage rooms. Based on acuity, and pt's appearance/behavior they are either sent back out to the waiting room (wr) or...
  21. (Just for grins) Pet Peeve of the Week: chart hoarding

    I thought that by now most hospitals were on to electronic charting, but based on you guys comments, I'm guessing I was very wrong about that....care to share where you guys are? (just
  22. Supervisors FB Friends with Staff?

    I personally don't think you should be friends with supervisors (even if they're not ur direct supervisor) unless you guys were already bff's prior to them being a supervisor. I have co-workers as...

  24. ER RN interested in traveling

    Hi all! So, I've finished my first year as an ER RN, I'm thinking about starting to travel at the begining of next year. That would give me exactly 2yrs nursing experience. I'm also planning on moving...
  25. What certifications do you have???

    Yes, I already have ACLS and TNCC. I'm guessing its a myth, but i was told that CCRN was more for ICU/PCU nurses and that CEN was our "version" of that. CPEN, I was sort of avoiding just because I...
