  1. Would like a few answers from ER nurses

    One1 replied to missymiss's topic in Emergency

    CPs are paged overhead where I work and we have strict time goals for EKGs so when we get a CP page we will always have at least 2 staff members come into the room to get the patient settled in. I...

  2. Will EMT experience help?

    One1 replied to Mrs.Hyder's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In my opinion being an EMT would help you get into an ED but not so much an ICU. EDs and ICUs are two very different beasts, and working as an EMT is directly related to emergency care. In my area you...

  3. An RN's thoughts on the health care law

    One1 replied to RN4MERCY's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Lamazeteacher, I am not sure that this will play out as everybody hopes. I come from one of those countries that has socialized healthcare, and one of the big problems is that 1)it is common to NOT be...

  5. Need advice after losing first nursing job

    One1 replied to AsianNurse27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Many new grad residency programs will not accept RNs who had ANY kind of previous work experience, but it is always worth checking with whatever hospital you apply

  6. Working in Germany as a RN

    One1 replied to silva's topic in General World

    Thanks MonaLuna. We document so much to cover our own behinds, but it is sad to hear that German nurses have to work in grey zones just so stuff gets

  7. Can a new grad RN apply for part time jobs?

    One1 replied to willmakeit's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can tell you that I learned twice as much in my part-time midshift position than I did in my full-time night position, simply because the patient load is that much higher during mid-shifts. And yes,...

  8. Vent: Why I won't accompany my mother to the ER anymore

    One1 replied to BelgianRN's topic in Emergency

    I'm sure the ED staff appreciated the baked goodies - smart thinking!

  9. Please help - failed NUR 230 so couldn't graduate ADN

    One1 replied to ginafromtx's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I don't know if hiring a lawyer would be worth the expense. You said yourself that there is more to the story, so we cannot tell you if you could win or not, but your most practical approach at this...

  11. Use of Restraints on Intubated patients - ER and ICU

    One1 replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    You probably need an order for non-behavioral restraints. We cannot place somebody in any kind of restraints (soft, hard, medical, behavioral or non-behavioral) without an MD

  12. Working in Germany as a RN

    One1 replied to silva's topic in General World

    MonaLuna, out of interest: how does the German nurse scope of practice compare to the US scope of

  13. Waiting to get first job...is that ok?

    One1 replied to newRNgrd's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think it will be to your advantage professionally to wait that long but you have to figure out your own personal priorities and go from there. Professionally, you will have one, possibly even...

  14. Is this sneaky?

    One1 replied to sbostonRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd leave it in your resume under education but would take it out of the "title" part (BS, RN). It might look misleading because this Bachelor is not related to your RN

  15. Difference between a graduate nurse & a experienced nurse

    One1 replied to GitanoRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    awesome.

  16. Over the Animosity

    One1 replied to nursefina's topic in Emergency

    I agree, "walking in each other's shoes" seems to be the only thing that works. We had a few floor nurses shadow us for a shift and the change in attitude shortly after was dramatic. We heard lots of...

  17. Not happy with medsurge

    One1 replied to mom35's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You can always start applying for psych jobs. Until you have an actual offer, why contemplate how quitting early will

  18. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    One1 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In cases like yours I found that family members often approach me outside the room, or ask to speak to me privately. I appreciate the additional information/insight, but if the pt is AAO then I want...

  19. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    One1 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is exactly the problem though. How could I, as the nurse who has not met the pt before, know that his hypothetically verbalized desire to be alone in the room is influenced by medication and is...

  20. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    One1 replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with Altra. Sometimes spouses/family members mean too well and think that it is better to answer the questions addressed to the patient instead of the patient, maybe because they feel that the...

  23. Favorite things you bought during RN school to help your studies?

    One1 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    My laptop (dictionary, notepad, internet searcher all in one) :) and a BIG coffee

  24. Would Emt certification help to get into the ED?

    One1 replied to Faro's topic in Emergency

    Depends on where you work. Our paramedics have the same scope of practice in the ED as our EMT-Bs. We also only have EMTs in the ED as techs, no PCAs or

  25. Should I?

    One1 replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    If it is a regular staff RN job I would not. There are plenty applicants for jobs and they do not need to pay for your stay. I'd suck up the expense or make the
