    Time to get real -

    A&OxNone replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Time to get real -

    A&OxNone replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I do understand what you are saying, really. But it may just be my area, but I know a couple of people that have graduated from law school and can't find really steady work. They dont know if they'll...

    In honor of 9/11.... what was it like as a nurse?

    A&OxNone replied to A&OxNone's topic in General Nursing

    This is pretty much exactly how I feel. Just to think its a normal day, only to be part of something so horrific. I also think about the person that missed the disaster because they stopped to get...

    A&OxNone replied to ChannellR.N.'s topic in Georgia Nursing

    Grady is talked about a lot on the Georgia part of AN. Being a fellow Georgian, I go there a lot. Plus, you'll find better people to answer your questions. Good

    In honor of 9/11.... what was it like as a nurse?

    A&OxNone replied to A&OxNone's topic in General Nursing

    ER computer programs

    A&OxNone replied to gardengal1's topic in Emergency

    The t-system I used was on the computer. We did have the t system sheets for downtime, but we charted and got labs and everything on the computer. You should convince them to get it!

    A&OxNone replied to A&OxNone's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys!! Yeah, I know 6 hrs isn't really excellent, but I have an hr commute and my shift ends up being an even 13 hours after report. So I usually get home about 915, asleep by 10, wake at...

    A&OxNone replied to jeyre1847's topic in General Nursing

    Love this thread. Great point. I hope others looking for jobs can try to look at it this way. Good luck. Probably, just like dating, once you accept you are gonna stay single, some guy comes

    Easy to blame the new nurse?

    A&OxNone replied to nursebri's topic in General Nursing

    First, let me say Im sorry. ((hugs)) Second, let me say that this ISN'T your fault. Can you learn things from this? Yes. But every nurse has cases that they say,"you know, I could've done that...

    ER wait time clocks????

    A&OxNone replied to bonestAx's topic in Emergency

    I can see how that would happen. We don't usually have that problem, because our triage system is a lot different from most places, due to the fact that we try to keep our wait times down. So, if...

    ER wait time clocks????

    A&OxNone replied to bonestAx's topic in Emergency
