  1. Military Nursing

    EmergencyNrse replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    As a BSN- RN you would not be come enlisted in the Army but be commissioned as an officer. You would need to take an officer basic course which I understand is a "military-for-dummies" course at a...

  2. Military Nursing

    EmergencyNrse replied to IcanHealYou's topic in General Nursing

    Well I'm glad you have some sense to question this... Never Deploy??? How in the world could anyone possibly believe this statement? No! Never! False! Nurses are used in many capacities throughout the...

  3. Could high BP/Pulse during physical keep me from getting job?

    EmergencyNrse replied to 09NewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    You sir suffer from white-coat hypertension. You're not the only one. Rarely fatal and I have never heard of anyone denied employment from it. (Well, except for a flight physical maybe.) Your doctor...

    EmergencyNrse replied to lina.561's topic in General Nursing

    +1 Ever since the government started paying tuition's in certain states programs like CNA, EMT and Paramedic have gone through the roof! Many nursing centers and hospitals have CNA or Medical...

    EmergencyNrse replied to Cristiann's topic in General Nursing

    Panicking???

  6. Family members and Visitors telling me HOW to do my job!!!

    EmergencyNrse replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ignore them??? Hell, put 'em to WORK! They get away with making those "How to" comments once. Then I just gather supplies and tell them if they need anything else to just ask. I actually love family...

  7. Kind of disgusted with the place im doing my CNA clinicals:

    EmergencyNrse replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

    Remember you are doing your clinicals and you are a guest there. All I can tell you is that hand washing will always be a concern wherever you go. Don't go into an establishment like a know-it-all and...

  8. Plan to transfer from tele to er

    EmergencyNrse replied to pandaboi's topic in Emergency

    Don't look for that to change at all. Everything is all about the Press Ganey and Gallup Polls. Give 'em the kitchen sink whether it's good for them or not. After all they HAVE to feel good about...

  9. Not properly trained for ER?????

    EmergencyNrse replied to bassadict69's topic in Emergency

    Everyone coming to do emergency medicine for the 1st time isn't properly trained. There isn't a nursing program out there that can prepare you for what goes on in the ER. It's just experienced and...

  10. Saline Lock Question???

    EmergencyNrse replied to RenaissancemaN's topic in General Nursing

    It's a fair question to ask. Couple of factors for consideration: You assess your vein by palpation, assess its size, diameter, length and position... Choose the correct catheter appropriate for the...

  11. mandatory OT?!?

    EmergencyNrse replied to auntsas82's topic in Travel

    Hey! Great info. Good to know. I would have never considered it but I'm usually working 12's. Will definitely make that a part of the interview process in all my future contracts.

  12. What to do? Aides doing the work of nurses?

    EmergencyNrse replied to SDALPN's topic in General Nursing

    You people... Great advice. $50.00 to the charity of your choice says they're not doing anything illegal and that nothing will change there. All of you that know your boards and your scope of...

  13. Where have all the LPN's gone?

    EmergencyNrse replied to rayk1021's topic in General Nursing

  14. No Reference Letters for Interview

    EmergencyNrse replied to myrooskigurl's topic in General Nursing

    Snow Job? OMG! You you absolutely cannot just give a name and number of someone that probably wouldn't say anything bad about you. Most employers are looking for colleagues as references anyway. I...

  15. nights are killing me!

    EmergencyNrse replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    Waaaaaaah. Suck it up. Like you're the only one that has trouble with 3rd's/nights. 4-weeks!!! You haven't even given your body time to acclimate. Give it 4-5 years and move up to days like the rest...

  16. What to do? Aides doing the work of nurses?

    EmergencyNrse replied to SDALPN's topic in General Nursing

    They aren't mandated to have licensed staff depending on how the facility is categorized. Don't misinterpret what I'm saying. I think they should but unless you HOLD a license you have no specific...

  17. mandatory OT?!?

    EmergencyNrse replied to auntsas82's topic in Travel

    I'm all about the overtime. I love it but the scenario you describe is pretty brutal. Ultimately "emergency" is whatever the facility says it is... I would contact your recruiter about the terms of...

  18. Nurse lied on me, now i may lose my license....scared...

    EmergencyNrse replied to Nursechristi22's topic in General Nursing

    Relax. Your license isn't in any jeopardy. They have to show/demonstrate evidence of impropriety. They have to prove you were diverting medications or that you were grossly negligent in your...

  19. New nurse needs objective advice

    EmergencyNrse replied to twoangels's topic in General Nursing

    +1. There are plenty of jobs. Take care of your health and family 1st. There are other things you can do that aren't as stressful and less demanding. Come back after delivery and you are more

  20. What to do? Aides doing the work of nurses?

    EmergencyNrse replied to SDALPN's topic in General Nursing

    Very true. Welcome to the world of licensed care. You choose healthcare as an occupation, you go to school, you study and you take a test to certify or license you in a particular field or discipline....
