  1. How come a foreign nurse can find a job but American nurses can't?

    EmergencyNrse replied to misterno's topic in General Nursing

  2. What is your de-stress?

    EmergencyNrse replied to AngelicDarkness's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Tactical Carbine and 3-gun Competitions. Nothing compares to launching 400-500 rounds of Carbine, Pistol, Shotgun in a simulated "Hogan's Alley" of Threat vs. No Threat-targets... Really helps me wind...

  3. Scheduling in the ED

    EmergencyNrse replied to TJobs's topic in Emergency

    Everything hinges on the FTE's allocated. You have to work within the budget/parameters the facility gives you. I think that each and every ER has it's own personality. Each has individual needs, it's...

  4. Assulted on the job

    EmergencyNrse replied to Vedder316's topic in General Nursing

  5. Thank you letter post interview

    EmergencyNrse replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    You put your laundry out here for us to comment on and call me rude. You asked and it's not personal... I'm always amazed at the people that get all bent out of shape by a comment from someone you do...

  7. How do you know when you are burnt out on a floor?

    EmergencyNrse replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

  8. Thank you letter post interview

    EmergencyNrse replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    It shouldn't have been an e-mail anyway. Should have been a physical card/note sent USPS. ...tacky. If you haven't had any contact I would send it right

  9. Do you ever feel like a licensed drug pusher?

    EmergencyNrse replied to whykiki0103's topic in Emergency

    Pusher? How insane...? I don't administer anything that hasn't been ordered by a doctor and I don't force anyone to take a medication they don't want. (...well, except the crazies. They WILL get...

  14. hate night shift

    EmergencyNrse replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in General Nursing

    Odd, it's usually the night shift that runs smoother than the day crew. With admin-types running around the stress level is worse on days. Night people tend to stick together and work better as a...

  15. Where are we headed?

    EmergencyNrse replied to love-d-OR's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care about public's opinion. With every new program that turns out uneducated, incompetent "nurses" it only solidifies my position in the job market. Nothing worthwhile comes easy. The...

  16. Calling all Military nurses

    EmergencyNrse replied to RedChair's topic in General Nursing

    I thank you all for your praise and recognition but today is not our day. I'll come back for Veteran's Day :) Today is recognition for those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and...

  19. Nurses with nose piercings?

    EmergencyNrse replied to Chameleonchick's topic in General Nursing

    So you're wondering if you should wear them or not to wear them? I would just never hire someone with face jewelry or visible tattoos. My staff will project a positive appearance at all times or...

  22. Need resume help

    EmergencyNrse replied to eastangel28's topic in General Nursing

    I can respect the position you're in but you don't want to "pad" the resume with fluff that is insignificant or possibly untrue. Your resume should be short, concise, direct and to the point. You will...

    EmergencyNrse replied to emergencynerd's topic in Emergency
