    First Semester Students, How's it going so far?

    Ciale replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    I'm not so great at critical thinking. I've got a long road ahead of me. Other than that, it's awesome! It's a lot at once but I'm gonna get

    Cardiac nursing questions

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Cardiac

    The Cardiac Float Pool (or is it Modfied Baylor Plan?!) Make $50/hr + time and a half which they most always work a lot of overtime. I've only seen this with the cardiac nurses. In my state, that's a...

    Triage

    Ciale posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi guys. I thought I'd come ask you all since I can't get answers from my employer on this. I'm trying to learn how to triage people properly (as a clerk) but it seems each nurse wants it done a...

    Triage

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    Supervisor. I guess what you all are saying is that a RN should be sitting at the "greeter desk" and NOT a clerk, correct? Clerks should work in the back nurse's station ONLY,

    Hi, all! I just got accepted into an RN program and got a new job in the ER as a unit clerk. I haven't started yet but I am STOKED! For those of you who are trauma nurses, do you have any advise on...

    Triage

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    Ah. That is the key difference. We don't have a nurse sitting up front because they are with a patient 95% of the time. I'm not offended. I agree that it is not a good practice to have me "use my best...

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    Okay...so what do you do!??! Do you say something like "Why did you just do that!? That wasn't very nice, old man" or do you just have to brush it off and continue with whatever your doing. Do you...

    Triage

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    Hm. I don't guess I understand. If someone comes in and says they think they're having a heart attack, your clerks ask them to fill out a form and sit down? Or do they make a judgement call and...

    Triage

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    :) Okay, perhaps I need to be a little more clear. I am not "triaging" the patients (taking vitals and asking them very detailed questions to further narrow down a diagnosis). That's what the triage...

    Ashamed of nursing school

    Ciale replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    I hear what you're saying. Nursing could definitely use more intelligent people. I think the people on this board are readers, interested in learning, nursing...etc. so I get more feedback here than I...

    Don't stress about it. Just keep moving forward. You did everything correctly the next day which means you learned...which is the point. You were tested more than any other student and I believe there...

    I got my school uniform tailored. It was already an extra small but it looked like I was wearing a bedsheet. I'm modest and don't like things clingy but I also don't want to look frumpy! It's...

    Formality in the hiring process.

    Ciale replied to linguine's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's normal. I work in Human Resources for a hospital and used to run the Nurse Externship Program. It's a wonderful program to help new nurses get acclimated into their role as a nurse....
