   GOMERNATOR replied to RNCEN's topic in Emergency

   GOMERNATOR replied to adio412's topic in General Nursing

   I have been a Trauma/ER nurse for 14 years and last November I decided to make a change. I figured I was getting burned out or a bad attitude or was already so crispy I wouldn't know the difference anyway. So, a friend who already punched out (from t...

9. Help Please!!

   GOMERNATOR replied to ashleyjean3's topic in Emergency

   It works well as long as the two departments communicate, ER is not shoving patients to ICU when it is unsafe to take them and ICU has learned to be a bit more conscientious of the needs of ER in moving patients out as soon as possible. so, what's t...

10. Police use excessive force, ER docs say- What do ER nurses think

    GOMERNATOR replied to rjflyn's topic in Emergency

    There are good cops, bad cops, good nurses, bad nurses, good mechanics, bad mechanics, etc. etc. Speaking for myself outside of work I am leery of them. They have far too much power and very little oversight. If a cop is unwarrantedly being excess...
