Aviator clothing company http://www.aviatorscrubs.com or [email protected] Best scrubs for your $$$ thick, yet comfortable never needs ironing !!! Plus you look sharp and professional. Well worth the $$. I'll check out those other sites, but give aviator a try, I think you will be pleased.

Maybe I don't understand your question completely, (sorry) What type of patient do you have? Diagnosis, problems etc.... I need more info.

We use it in our ER, and it seems to work, although it is divided into A As for the nurses we only are suppose to get 4 pt's at a time, although I have had up tp 9. Of course if one of your team members has a critical we as a team will absorb her other pt's. It is not a error free system, but it seems to work, AGAIN it all depends on what type of pt's you have on your team, how fast can we move them out, who is on your team, and do we have beds? are we closed on diversion? I believe there is no perfect system out there, but I prefer the team approach, I think our pt's like it too. ( according to our recent survey).. I hope this helps.

caduceus the medical symbol would be cool

California is LVN too. I believe the east coast and midwest are LPN. Oh and some of the south.

I just wanted to tell everyone that my lumpectomy came back free of cancer, and that I I should be on Tamoxifin for 5 year regiment!! I'am so blessed. I had a mammo, and it showed califications ( so they biopsied the site) and it came back DCIS ductal carcenoma in situ. I had a lumpectomy, and I just got the result today that the margins are clear, and there is no evidence of invasive cancer!! I just want everyone (males too) to check yourself, and demand a mammo, if you feel that you need one.. I just wanted to share my experiance and to urge everyone to do self exams!!!

TSTL = TO STUPID TO LIVE

Beth, Hi How long will your precept/ orientation be? If your hospital is not trauma level patients, then your experience should be fine. I think you will adapt without too many problems. We have a 6 month precpt/ orientation for new grads in our ed. And I may add our new grads are working out just great. in fact they are more inquizitive, and eager to learn, and sadly more enthusiastic about their jobs then some seasoned nurses, who are bitter and burned out. Er can be very very demanding, and burn out can happen even though there is little to no trauma. I hope this helps. I love my co workers and the ER. I hope you'll enjoy it too. GOOD LUCK!

We have a hair salon: CURL UP AND DYE. We also have a fitness center by a bakery that says: He who eats sweets, takes up two seats, He who runs get's small buns.

I work in a ER that is 36 rooms. 6 rooms are seperated by curtains the rest have walls and a curtain at the foot of the bed or a door with a curtain as well. We usually have to resort to putting people in the hall spaces on a daily basis, which we try to provide a roll away curtain ( not always avail unless JACHO) haha.. ( then we wouldnt put people in the halls... at all.) So I think we try to have some privacy. the 6 rooms with only curtains we usually use as a psy. hold or for floor admits waiting on rooms or consults to be admitted.

lvn in busy er ... just the simple truth.. I love ER, and happy to be and lvn.

I too work in a busy er. I do basically everything an RN can do except iv meds. I triage ambulances and they co-sign my assessments. I have to have ACLS and PALS certificates, as well as basic cpr. I start iv's draw blood and when we are short staffed take an assignment., but usually I'm a float flow, meaning I put out fires, do orders, triiage ambulances, room patients transport pts, etc etc.. We do also stock rooms answer phones break down charts etc. ( unit assistance stuff) d/c pts, relieve for lunches is the biggie and generally just keep the flow of the er going.... I love it. I think we have a lot to offer and yes, I should go on and get my RN, but I am very comfortable right now. My crew respects me (us there is 5 total in the dept (different shifts) and I respect them. Good luck to you in school jump through hoops (there will be hoops) and I hope you enjoy er..

Thanks for the reply. I had a patch on my back..that had pain running all across my right side, and under my arm. turned out to be shingles..... L Lysine it's an amino acid 500 mg tid is what helped me, it was oo late for acyclovire or zoverax. I know now what patients go through.....

Has anyone ever had shingles?

As I lay on my bed, thinking about you, I feel this strong urge to grab you and squeeze you, because I can't forget last night. You came to me unexpectedly during the balmy and calm night, and what happened in my bed still leaves a tingling sensation in me. You appeared from nowhere and shamelessly, without any reservations, you laid on my naked body...you sensed my indifference, so you applied your hungry mouth to me without any guilt or humiliation, and you drove me near crazy while you drained me. Finally I went to sleep. Today when I woke up, you were gone, I searched for you but to no avail, only the sheets bore witness to last night's events. My body still bears faint marks of your enthusiastic ravishings, making it harder to forget you. Tonight I will remain awake waiting for you... you DAM mosquito.
