    EmergencyNrse replied to fery632's topic in Travel

    EmergencyNrse replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's just me but I hope anonymity is your friend here. I say delete this post and say no more about what could be interpreted as a serious medication error. Sentinel event? Possibly... You...

  5. Can you give me some feedbacks?

    EmergencyNrse replied to NaKcl's topic in General Nursing

    My feedback is that there is no such thing as "feedbacks". It is both singular and pleural like deer. Please let me point you in the right direction: http://www.edufind.com/english/grammar/ or...

  7. Concerns about 'modeling' pictures

    EmergencyNrse replied to Rakkika's topic in Nursing Career

    I have seen this scenario once before. Someone I had worked with didn't just model but starred in full-length feature movies. There was no problem between her and the hospital just the staff. If she...

  8. Where should I take the NCLEX?

    EmergencyNrse replied to swaffy8's topic in General Nursing

    You can take the NCLEX at any registered/certified testing center. The state you are seeking licensing is the most important. You want your license in the state you're going to work in. That being...

  9. Mandatory Overtime?

    EmergencyNrse replied to ALH2004's topic in General Nursing

    Time to shore up the resume... Personally, I don't believe in mandatory "fun". 3 12's or maybe flexed to 40 but I don't know that they can make you work more. Hit HR or just call in for the extra...

  10. Why I'm sick of the ED

    EmergencyNrse replied to RoyalNurse's topic in Emergency

    Techs are the same everywhere. Get use to doing it yourself. I find it in departments with no accountability. Sounds like ER burnout to me. Try traveling... At least they pay you more for your...

  11. Informed consent dilemma

    EmergencyNrse replied to bc1234's topic in General Nursing

    Just to clarify here... A translator is used to define the meaning documents. An interpreter is used to communicate verbally. Not all interpreters are translators... You begin with an interpreter to...

  12. What is a narcotic agreement, how does it work?

    EmergencyNrse replied to stellaRN1983's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the applications I have seen are for circumstances surrounding "narcotic seeking behavior". Patients that have been tagged as "frequent fliers" in ER's requesting narcotic pain medicines....

  13. Im not sure if I could be a nurse..?

    EmergencyNrse replied to purse's topic in General Nursing

    For all you people out there that think your nursing license is the only authorization to administer medications you're WRONG! Out from under the umbrella of LTC and hospital care people actually have...

    EmergencyNrse replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    There are worse things... Move

  15. Travel Nurse Bait and Switch?

    EmergencyNrse replied to alaskaman's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen this from time to time. Sometimes it's by design by other times it's just a misunderstanding. Have you spoken to the manager or your travel liaison? Sometimes shift supervisors or charge...

  16. Things that patients say that make me smile!

    EmergencyNrse replied to ninaricci's topic in General Nursing

  18. Starting as an ER Tech, what do you nurses want from me?

    EmergencyNrse replied to NurseMaybeBaby's topic in Emergency

    Just a couple of things to give you a start: I want a tech that's more interested in helping patients than flirting with medics... A tech that is there to work and learn rather than gossiping @ the...

  19. RN still unemployed in Southern CA, I am really getting depressed

    EmergencyNrse replied to cuddly's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where you're looking. I don't know where you failed. I just got another offer for Sharp Memorial in San Diego day-shift ER. Scripps, Rady Childrens. I'm on assignment or I would be all...

  20. Could I cut it in ER?

    EmergencyNrse replied to DroogieRN's topic in Emergency

    Of course my love is in the ER. I HATE it on the floor. Don't do it because you're short staffed... we're usually short as well and we can't stop the flow of patients. Can't turn them away. Can't pick...

    EmergencyNrse replied to eternalbride's topic in General Nursing

    Community College! Go back and work on that GPA. Learn from your mistakes and move on. It's not over it's just delayed. You didn't get into this mess right away. You can't correct it right away....

  24. Tax Free Help

    EmergencyNrse replied to LexieM's topic in Travel

    There is no such thing as "tax-free money". They use that term loosely all the time but the reality is that it's an illusion. It does NOT exist! You draw wages based on the hours you work and...
