For whomever it applies (Knowing very well) that this "of the Lords" congregation, You, (if choosen - from our Lord), pleases him, we/you are doing rightousness.. Pleases to continue continue until followed out! Then You blind and deaf will see and h...

This must be looked at from another angle. Tis True! You will never make it (nowadays) if you do not see otherwise! You truly need to understand the title you have taken. It is above all else... Nursing is the license you hold! You must understand wh...

Too bad that the only way to become a specialist in any area is experience. (Time and self education, or putting self through timely Education) Plus, The Emergency Specialist requires experience of those arriving as of dead, to arrival as of yet to...

Blue Moon huh... This is one day that I refuse to work. I have worked this Holiday one time before, and let me tell you, in the ED, this is an excellent day to experience what it may be like for you during your shift on any one of the three hundred +...

Wow! I did not see that coming! I am truly kind of shocked that you are an Emergency Nurse. Hmm... I don't get it? Was it your intention to sound derogatory for a reason? You know many Emergency Nurses are reading this thread right? Whats up?

Curiosity has gotten the better of me. Would you be willing to tell us something? Is it The University of Wisconsin Hospital, or is it Froedtert Hospital that you are employed? The only other Level 1 in Wisconsin is a Pediatric Hospital/Trauma Center...

Soo touching that I wanted to share mine too After celebrating my Fathers birthday with cake and cards that our aunts picked out for us (this was one and one-half week after them all getting here from 10+ hours away/many, many of them-family)... I sn...

How do you deal with it (cope)? Seen Three now. What takes place for you during the first 24 hours afterwords?

Sacraficial laMb!!!

Jesus! OR NOt! Right? This all has to make sense somehow, right? Once all is said and done... Right? Jesus! Christ!!! Oh! My! God! Children die? I never signed up for this.... I want 2 B A hermit.....................

Thats it, right there! Ask! You are going to need to do that a lot, for many years... Confidence too.

I have not read any of this thread yet, but can tell you that every ED should probably have a point triage RN + a comprehensive (Or Two) triage RN's. I am at a facility that has tried out both ways, using even the facilitator's when I first started, ...

Thanks That helps

So far, 5 of my pts have definetively had H1N1 with paperwork in hand as comformation when I got to them. All of them were mildly sick. It did not look nothing like the normal yearly flu at all... It was sick for sure, but not out for the count sick...

Wanted to add, your benefits should probably have in them a source/allowance for psychiatric help. I think most places have a hospital appointed psych specialist for us to go and discuss things with, plus an allowance of maybe 10 visits to an outside...

WoW! If you're asking? Get out of that place fast! That place sounds very very unsafe, and all wrong! I don't work the floor, so somebody else please tell me the situation described above is not normal? If it is? How did we ever let it progress to t...

"ALL VISITORS ARE TERRORISTS" - A little behind the scenes motto! (psst.. Its just a joke) - I do enjoy also interacting with the visitors. Repeat that again. Once more. And again. I really do...

It obviously depends on where one works. The triage protocols are very extensive where I work. I have ordered several CAT scans on patients from triage. One example, would be the patient who had a headache located directly behind one eye (pain began ...

I have seen this procedure done once too. The surgeon thought he saw something on the US. Then, he immediately turned around and asked us for the DPL tray. I don't know the exact reasoning for the DPL with this one? I can tell you what I think thoug...

I like the preceptors comment about re-directing them during your assessments! Hopefully, You will be able to develop a system that works for you over time. One that balances that "one-on-one" care, with that "emergency department" nurse mentality.

I agree with it being normal. However, make sure that you have the support around you that you will undoubtly need during this transition. Even then, ask for 2 more weeks if you really feel it is necessary... I did, and it was well worth it!

Yes, psych pt's are on the rise in our ED as well. Lots and lots of them are showing up lately. Three years ago, I did not even really know what IVC (involuntary commit - danger to self or others) meant. We just did not see that type of pt all that o...

OP, This is a good post, thanks... I have not been a member here for very long. Although, I am sure that from my posts, I'd seem like an uncompassionate person... (that couldn't be further from the truth!). In my mind, I can keep those thoughts conta...

OK So, as I am... I want a long-going thread about this This being the word EMERGENCY What does that mean? I mean, not where I work! Emergency MUST absolutely mean something else to the public! What the @@@@ does that word mean people? Or, if you ...
