  1. Hindrance to professional growth

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    I doubt that your statical evidence has anything to do with what I am talking about. I'm talking about some of my peers, jumping in without even asking me or notifying me, without the patient ever...

  2. Hindrance to professional growth

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    You're missing the point (principal) of what I am presenting

  3. Hindrance to professional growth

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    This board is what I am trying to consider my "safe zone." I come here to talk openly with my peers. So don't be offended, as text is easy to read too much into and be offended :-). I do get the...

  4. Hindrance to professional growth

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    All points taken , thank you. The hindrance I speak of is this; we have had shifts where there is all male RN's, male PA, and a male Doctor. One of these days there will be a situation where a female...

  5. How to drop subtle hints with my nursing students about faith.

    exit96 replied to HappyWife77's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Great idea! Lets get rid of the jerks that need to talk about; their kids, shopping, make up, latte, hair styles etc...I Mean, why should anyone have to tolerate any of this? Better yet, if someone...

  6. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    exit96 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really! You really have to make 2-3 personal calls while at the nurses station! Oh I see, your calling your adult child, the one that you text constantly, and you are discussing what? GET OFF THE...

  9. What are your pet peeves?

    exit96 replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

    Dirty, filthy people. Sorry but, you know, the rotten crotch women of any age, who for some reason cannot smell that infested vajayjay of theirs. Or worse yet, they can smell it but don't do anything...

  11. Is 1-year ED experience enough to apply elsewhere?

    exit96 replied to RunawayN's topic in Emergency

    A difference of $20/hr!?!?!!!!...Can I ask where this facility is? That's good info also about the difference in Levels,

  12. Is 1-year ED experience enough to apply elsewhere?

    exit96 replied to RunawayN's topic in Emergency

    IMO it depends on your skill/critical thinking level and the diverse experience you have. I too work in a Rural ER, but I feel it has been advantageous because of the "interesting" demographics of the...

  13. "International Association of Nurses" - is this legit?

    exit96 replied to psysn's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow!!! I just now had to hang up on them! They stroke you and patronize, and play on your emotions on how wonderful and accomplished you are, THEN they will not let you off the phone until you choose...

  14. What are your pet peeves?

    exit96 replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

    Patients that take their pulse ox off all the time. They seem to have to be on their stupid phone all the time. I hate when I have a DIB and am busy with other patients and I go to the monitor to...

  15. How long did it take you to master inserting an IV?

    exit96 replied to RunawayN's topic in Emergency

    Much good,advice here! Thanks! Sometimes I'm ON, sometimes I'm OFF, with no explanation. One day I'll get the hard sticks, the next day I'll miss a huge pipeline.....or what really seems to haunt me...

  16. What are your pet peeves?

    exit96 replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

    I work in a small 8 bed ER, and these types of bogus CC have us constantly potentially grid locked for when the REAL Emergency rolls through the door, either by EMS or private vehicle. There are so...

  17. A Call

    exit96 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is a Call to all Nurses. A call for self respect. A call to urge tenaciousness, always. Question all management people and their agendas. Don't just accept stupid techniques for patient...

  18. A Call

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    Point taken. That IS The issue I believe. It has gotten to the point of "where do we begin?" So maybe if all I do is get people to think about it, or to continue to think about it, then I have done...

  19. What are your pet peeves?

    exit96 replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

    When the CEO walks through the department and attempts to say "hi." Like he gives a rip about anything but his wallet?! Gag me!!!!! When grown men, or a colleague wants to high-5.... "Hey, you pulled...

  20. What are your pet peeves?

    exit96 replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

    After I get all the equipment hooked up; cardiac monitor, b/p cuff, pulse ox, blankets... Then "I have to go to the bathroom" Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!! Another one: I have started to use the adhesive pulse ox...

  21. New Graduates who don't welcome feedback

    exit96 replied to Majain2013's topic in Emergency

    While I'd love to get on a "younger generation band wagon" ( because I do believe that integrity, ethics etc have declined steadily) I do have to admit I see this behavior in different age groups. At...

  22. Rn being trained by lpn?

    exit96 replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We all know "scope of practice on this issue..." However, I have been fortunate enough to get some Top Notch orientation from experienced LPN's and am THANKFUL for all of it. They have been a blessing...

  23. Smokers need not apply?

    exit96 replied to RainMom's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Believe me, I hope I am wrong...brace yourself. Maybe read a history book and stop watching the

  24. Smokers need not apply?

    exit96 replied to RainMom's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I see why people agree with this. But I fail to see it as reasonable. Come on, if someone smokes at home, it's legal....but they can't be hired because of their choices?? Whatever, this is only the...

    exit96 replied to RainMom's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wish we had a "like 1 million times" button for this post. I only got to "like" it once. It truly is amazing at the amount of "followers" we have in our society now. Watch out people who where...
