    llltapp replied to Dazglue's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  7. Triage

    llltapp replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    If the nurses are asking you to make a judgement call, then they need to shut up when you do. So what if the suspected stroke wasn't a stroke. What if it had been? Just keep doing your job and tell...

  8. ER Personalities

    llltapp replied to RN1298's topic in Emergency

    llltapp replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    I was in a very LARGE hospital in Northern NJ back in the late 80's when I was in my undergrad. I did pre-op observation on "abortion day" in the OR. I don't know if they even perform elective...

  11. diabetics in small co jail

    llltapp replied to ptreebs's topic in Correctional

    llltapp replied to Lola77's topic in Rehabilitation

    Just an FYI, don't think of the ER as just adrenalin .... we get to share in patient triumphs too, just for a shorter period LOL. We need caring empathetic nurses

  16. Working with EMTs vs CNAs/techs

    llltapp replied to RoyalNurse's topic in Emergency

    Forgot to mention, the fact that you have been a CNA is a great thing. With paramedics/EMT's I have found that in order to gain their respect (which is a MUST if they are going to work with and for...

  17. Working with EMTs vs CNAs/techs

    llltapp replied to RoyalNurse's topic in Emergency

    Paramedics and EMT's are just like most other ER staff, they have strong personalities. CNA's are naturally used to "reporting" to an RN. EMT's and paramedics are used to autonomy in the "field."...

    llltapp replied to blessings2nurses's topic in General Nursing

    llltapp replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in School

    llltapp replied to foreverLaur's topic in Post Graduate Students

    llltapp replied to BChapp3182's topic in Addictions
