  6. Changes in ED?

    EmergencyNrse replied to AndyLyn's topic in Emergency

    The question is unfair. There are many personalities present in each and every ER. How do you offer advice on change w/o knowing how yours is run? Do your ER doctors actually work for the hospital or...

  8. Question for the fellas....

    EmergencyNrse replied to RNYC's topic in Men in Nursing

    EmergencyNrse replied to freefalle's topic in Men in Nursing

    I like being asked "How long have you been a male nurse?" I tell them that I have ALWAYS been a male nurse. ...don't go back and forth between male & female. Anyway, it does not bother me....

  10. The "Flirt"

    EmergencyNrse replied to exit96's topic in Men in Nursing

  13. To drink or not to drink

    EmergencyNrse replied to ArmyMomJo's topic in General Nursing

    I was once in the VA and we actually had beer in the med room. Dr's routinely ordered it and it would be on their MAR. Treatment for alcohol isn't WITH alcohol. It will totally depend on the focus of...

  15. The Money is my motivation

    EmergencyNrse replied to RNDreamer's topic in General Nursing

  19. Will filing bankruptcy make it hard to get a job as a nurse?

    EmergencyNrse replied to stacey914's topic in General Nursing

  25. Triage without an office

    EmergencyNrse replied to LilgirlRN's topic in Emergency

    MANY are taught to "pull 'till full". The ENA has bought into this and I don't agree with this practice. You put the patient in the room and go straight to assessment. Registration happens @ bedside....
