   Any facilities actually using an AccuVein? Any thoughts?

   Employer used my photo without my permission on social media

   That Guy replied to PedsRN91's topic in Nursing

   I had this happen with nursing school. they used a picture of me that was taken at clinical for some of their promotional material. Come to find out one of the things you sign at the beginning of the year is a disclosure saying they can use these any way they want to for their use. Oh well, guess I learned to read the fine print after that.

   Are you a "Sister?"

   That Guy replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Nursing

   Only time I have ever heard it was one of our staff doctors called everyone brother or sister and it was so damn annoying.

   Is this legal?

   That Guy replied to BeenThere2012's topic in Nursing

   Most of their funding comes from federal not state sources. You bet they will abide by their rules over state rules, or so I would think.

   Calling Report to ER from Urgent Care

   That Guy replied to misdetermined's topic in Nursing

   Why they came to you, why are they coming to me, anything you guys did. Other than that I will ask it all myself anyways. Keep it short, sweet and simple.

   Misuse of the ER

   That Guy replied to ShortFuse's topic in Nursing

   Lets be honest, the sick, non emergent people are what keep the doors open and give those every important numbers that keep us staffed every day. Yeah all sick people would be a lot more fun but its not the reality of what goes on.

    MO Hospital offering $5,000 sign-on bonus to new grads

    That Guy replied to klone's topic in First Year

    I recently took a spot that had a sign on bonus but you had to have Level 1 Trauma experience of 2+ years. So I feel like there is an experience shortage for sure in some of these towns.

    LPN to Paramedic

    That Guy replied to KimStrohl's topic in Nursing

    And if they were I wouldn't be a nurse. One of the main reasons why I got out of EMS.

    LPN to Paramedic

    That Guy replied to KimStrohl's topic in Nursing

    Even as an RN I would have to go to medic school as there is stuff they can do we can't. Plus the whole prehospital world is widely different than in a hospital.

    Staffing Ratios in the ED

    That Guy replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing

    Another study with the punchline of "No ****". You mean it takes me longer to get my patients going when I have 7 of them as opposed to 4?

    What do you hate about nursing and why?

    That Guy replied to ccorreces's topic in Nursing

    The focus on the patient being a customer because "they chose our hospital". I hate doing orders "because the patient asked for it" Is it medically prudent at all to do that? Generally not, but we have to keep them happy and coming back for more.
