    JStyles1 replied to onthefence's topic in Men in Nursing

  8. 1 year ICU...ready for ER?

    JStyles1 replied to jmblair1's topic in Emergency

    As said above, it is totally different. I'd say a new nurse would be in a bit better position b/c they do not have the icu knowledge set already. Don't get me wrong, your assessment skills and...

  9. Triage Standing Orders for Lab and X-rays

    JStyles1 replied to Rickbos's topic in Emergency

    All I can say is I'd hate to work there. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't put in initial orders for patients (ie: cbc, cmp, ua, pcxr, etc). That is a major bottleneck for an ED. I guess your...

  11. Nursing jobs outside of a hospital or LTC

    Looking for different options for employment outside of a hospital or long-term care. Obviously there are physician offices too. Basically I'm tired of 12 hour shifts and kind of want something

  12. IV Morphine Push

  13. The 1st check as an rn....yay!!! Or nay!!

    JStyles1 replied to Serrano2886's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I love threads like this. High hourly rates with huge costs of living to justify that rate. For everyone thinking making $30-$40/hr is something great, you're not seeing the whole

  15. drips connecting at y-site

    JStyles1 replied to fiveofpeep's topic in MICU, SICU

    it's simple physics. the reason the medication is getting there to begin with is b/c of downward pressure on the fluid (gravity). when a drip is wide open, and not on a pump, it is the gravitational...

  20. Vanderbilt Pay Scale

    JStyles1 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I have a hard time believing this "teaching hospital is worth the decreased pay" bit. That may come in handy if you are doing a residency or are a physician, but not for regular staff nurses. I've...

  23. salary floor nurse?

    JStyles1 replied to fallinnstyle's topic in General Nursing

    never have and i'd never work as a staff nurse on salary. too much variation in the possibility to staying over. salary sucks unless you're working short days all the time

  24. When does duty to a patient begins?

    JStyles1 replied to rn2hope's topic in General Nursing

    This. I would even go one step further as to say when you first go in and lay eyes on the patient. If a tech puts a patient in the room b/c they are complaining about waiting in the waiting room too...

    JStyles1 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    For one, stop looking in the newspaper for jobs. Jobs in the newspaper are typically the last places you want to work. Secondly, your post is a generalization based on your chosen venue of job...
