  1. ED-did you always know?

    ~'JesusRocks'~ posted a topic in Emergency

    #1 Did you always know that you wanted to do ED or did you stumble into it and find that you liked it. #2 Where did you start out, ED or other (state where)? I keep thinking in my head "I wanna go to...

  4. Hourly Rounding in the ED

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to biker momma's topic in Emergency

    unfortunately i think hourly rounding is here to stay. it will prob take a few months to work out the kinks but you will find a way to do it and get your work done. just time the hourly check w/...

  5. Some good, some bad....

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just some advise because I've been there too. I think they are playing you a bit, like testing the waters with you. If they are giving you their work and then sitting on their butts, they are trying...

  6. When money is low...

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

    Yes you will lose your dignity, being a waitress in a strip club you are treated the same as the dancers. To anyone who posted that it was no biggie has obviously never worked in a place like...

  7. New interesting abortion poll

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    Every intellegent argument about why abortion should be legal doesn't come close to the real reason why MOST abortions happen. (And let's be real here ladies since most likely were all women) Picture...

  8. Depressed about other staffers

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to Justlearning's topic in First Year After Licensure

    First of all take a deep breath, you are going thru a lot. It might be a good idea to keep your mouth shut for now. Just go to work and do the best you can. On your days off spend your time looking...

  9. Some advice for new grads

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to Sarah Bellum's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just wait till you get that first paycheck. Oh ya did the addition, made my list of items that I hadn't had in forever...yep it's gonna be sweet. Wuh, they took out how much in taxes and etc!!! Isn't...

  10. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    As soon as you graduate the playing field is leveled. Passing the NCLEX has nothing to do w/ the grades you made in school, hence the fact that one can pass w/ 75 questions or 200 something. I was a B...

  11. Holiday Blues

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to Sonjailana's topic in General Nursing

    Hey guys my prayers go out to you :redpinkhe. IT sounds like you have had some rough times. I don't know what else to say, but that we are all thinking of you here. Much love to all of you!!...

  12. Nurses who gossip and talk behind your back.

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to CrystalClear75's topic in General Nursing

    You say that you find nurses who work in the hospital are crabby. I think that this may have more to do w/ working conditions rather than working w/ a certain gender or anything else. I too at one...

  13. ED-did you always know?

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to ~'JesusRocks'~'s topic in Emergency

    Just to clarify-I get the whole "critical pt" thing, there are citical pt in the ED. Take it fr. my standpoint as a floor RN; critical pt. comes in-ED stabilizes enough to go to ICU at some point....

  14. Incident Report-yes/no?

    ~'JesusRocks'~ posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am frusterated and am so glad that I can vent here (probly the only safe place to). Anyway so I fill out an incident report on a med error (gave wrong pt med), bad I know but no harm came to pt...

  15. Different Stress Relievers, Which Would You Choose?

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to NurseJamesMcCoy's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I am so glad I finally got off my butt and did it-I joined a gym. It took everything I had to do it but I feel so much better. I may only go once per week but that one day makes a difference. While...

  16. Meltdown at work

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to RiverNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That sucks and I think every nurse has been there one time or another in the beginning. I have to say it really does get better, I know that sounds so cliche and I hated hearing it while going through...

  17. Honestly...Did I over-react?

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to oliveralways's topic in General Nursing

    I actually applaud you for standing up for yourself even if it make you look like you "over-reacted". Some might think its overkill but hey it's your butt on the line. If you contract something you...

  18. Evening shift and BAD eating habits!

    ~'JesusRocks'~ replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same issue in the evening when I got home, hardly had time to eat all day so I come home and wanted to munch, then it's usually off to bed to go at it the next day. I like the idea someone...
