  1. If an ER patient is Not Sick, are we still supposed to treat?

    Be_Moore replied to ernoc333's topic in Emergency

    Doctor #1 is practicing what we call "defensive medicine" and is running a total CYA show. He can't be sued because he did everything he needed to do. Defensive medicine is estimated to be around...

  2. What day is it?

    Be_Moore replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    Feel your pain. I work nocs because I too tend to gravitate toward late nights and sleeping in...unfortunately to fight this schedule to move to dayshift routines for friends is painful. Me...

  3. New ICU - poor visibility

    Be_Moore replied to bobarb's topic in General Nursing

    In our ICU you can't see both of your patients at once, because of a design flaw (the unit was designed by a L&D nurse turned architect who obviously is retarded--err, I mean mentally challenged...

  4. LPN or RN What should I choose?

    Be_Moore replied to Tattooedtonya24's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think that this is due to you already have a base knowledge now versus before when you had none? The part about nursing school that seemed to be the most difficult was not so much the...

  5. LPN or RN What should I choose?

    Be_Moore replied to Tattooedtonya24's topic in General Nursing

    Never been an LPN, but have worked with them. Get your RN. You get more money, you get more respect. And that about sums it

  6. Med school for experienced CRNA?

    Be_Moore replied to SpouseofChicagoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No. None of them will. It will look good on her application, but she'll still have to do 4 years med school with a 3 year anesthesiology residency, during which she will rack up $300,000 in...

  8. For those of you who were waitressing while in nursing school, could use advice!

    Be_Moore replied to esunada's topic in General Nursing

    When I served, colored linens were actually part of our uniform (I served at Outback Steakhouse). We also used trays/trayjacks. Even through the linens, those plates are incredibly hot. On the flip...

  10. Working while in Nursing school?!

    Be_Moore replied to Mt8386's topic in General Nursing

    I worked 40hrs/week my first semester and dropped down to 30 hours/week my second semester. By third semester I was still working around 30. First 3 semesters I worked at a restaurant, cooking,...

  11. Clinical Placement -----Is This Possible

    Be_Moore replied to CanCan's topic in General Nursing

    I think what the OP means is, should a school have a campus in various areas (my school had two campuses about 1.5 hours apart from each other, totally different metro areas) is it possible to do...

    Be_Moore replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

  14. Attitudes towards LPN's

    Be_Moore replied to emt... rn student's topic in Canada

    As an RN who once had to work with LPN's, it sort of sucks working with them, honestly. I mean, yes we are all nurses, but working with an LPN means that I have to do my job and parts of yours too....

  15. Peritoneal Lavage

    Be_Moore replied to GleeGum's topic in Emergency

    Also work in a Level I trauma and I don't think it happens in our ED either. Seems very old school. We do FAST and CT's. I suppose the option to do so is there,

  17. Help! Chronic shoulder pain, studying to be RN

    Be_Moore replied to MelanieS's topic in General Nursing

    I also have transient chronic bursitis/tendonitis in my shoulder (which I actually got from doing nursing. Good times). It sucks really badly on a flare up, but I can still do my job (and I still work...

  18. Is it worth it to obtain a masters in nursing education?

    Be_Moore replied to Sirapples's topic in General Nursing

    Financially? No way. Teachers don't teach for the money. If you really desire to teach, plus desire the more normal person hours it will work out for you. But don't have any dreams about making as...

  19. Why cannot give IV medication via artery?

    Be_Moore replied to suizzz's topic in Patient Medications

    Medications in general tend to be caustic to some degree, some more than others (phenergan for example). Say you find a medication that destroys a vein (blows an IV or some such, infiltrates,...

  20. There won't be any raises this year

    Be_Moore replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    Please note that also, like businesses, hospitals are financially complex. Money spent to buy LCD tv's and rennovate rooms usually can NOT be spent on raises. It's not that simple, legally. Taxes and...

  22. Nursing, is it really that horrible of a job?

    Be_Moore replied to michelle_d's topic in General Nursing

    You will read a lot more bad than you will good, because bad is more newsworthy. I generally like it. I help people, it pays decent, I work only 3 days a week. It does have it's dark sides. It's up to...

  23. Boom in CRNA interest...thoughts?

    Be_Moore replied to Agrippa's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The requirements to get in are pretty high, and will continue to raise as more people apply. Who cares if they just want money and aren't doing it altruistically to help people? As long as they are...

  24. Do you still have time for yourself and family as a Registered Nurse??

    Be_Moore replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing school? No, not really. As a nurse? For sure. I only work 3 days a week. Granted they are 12 hour shifts, but still...I have more days off than I work. If you wanted a more normal schedule,...

    Be_Moore replied to heaverboo's topic in General Nursing

    Basic EKG interp is soooo easy. Don't even worry. At the end of your class you'll have it. Realistically, there are only a couple of rhythms that you really have to worry about..most of the rhythms...
