    That Guy replied to Nurse3242's topic in General Nursing

    Then you are doing it wrong. Job hopping is seriously the best way to get pay increases. To meet market demand they scale it up way faster and more often than the 11-2% ( if you are lucky ) a

    Not Everyone is meant/wants to be a leader!

    That Guy replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    You could be in my shoes. I want to be a leader, the management says I would be a good leader and then sets new bars for me each time but won't let me get to the point of finally being a leader. So I...

    Why did my senior place the iv roller clamp near iv site during blood transfusion?

    That Guy replied to Newnurse1256's topic in General Nursing

    In Cath lab I always had the roller clamp high so it was easier to access. In the ER I always have it mid length so its easier to access. Its all about personal preference. It does not matter where it...

    Cath RN vs EP RN

    That Guy replied to Pinkey1202's topic in General Nursing

    EP is sooooooo boring. At least where I did it. I got to do nothing but run iStat and that was the extent of my involvement in most cases. Cath lab was where the fun was at and the interesting cases....

    New Grad hired in the ER, question.

    That Guy replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    Some do well, some do not. Some would benefit having some clinical experience under their belt, others jump right in. Blanket statements like this are pointless, chest beating
