  5. Does anyone work as Rapid Response?

    silentRN replied to nrsang97's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have a "rapid response team", but we in the ICU cover certain sections of the hospital that we are responsible for if they are to call one, or if there is a code. I love going to them.

  6. Starting new job, no overtime allowed?

  8. Blood transfusion time frame

    silentRN replied to sweetiepie2's topic in General Nursing

  11. Compassion?

    silentRN replied to Buckaroo93's topic in General Nursing

    The longer you are a nurse, the less compassionate you will be. We all get burned out, and we are only human. You don't need compassion to do the job, but you need to have common sense and be smart...

    silentRN posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

  13. RN labor supply: Are we in a bubble?

    silentRN replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

  14. RN labor supply: Are we in a bubble?

    silentRN replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

  19. Coworker going to turn down "diamond" job because of training location...seriously?

    silentRN replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's just a boring job. Sometimes we need a little adrenaline here and there to change things up ever so often. The worst thing for me anyways, is being bored with my

  20. Would you care if I put this on my resume?

    silentRN replied to Jackfackmasta's topic in Critical Care
