  1. Need a good ICU book

    jaimealmostRN replied to erinnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, this is the best website ever! (except obviously allnurses.com). Mark, I just read all 37 pages of "Bedside Emergencies" and got some great explanations of stuff I didn't really understand from...

  2. ER last night made me mad!

    jaimealmostRN replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    Hey again, I just remembered that a few weeks ago they featured a paramedic tech on "trauma...". I thought that was interesting since they didn't feature any nurses even for just a second. But I...

  3. ER last night made me mad!

    jaimealmostRN replied to smk1's topic in General Nursing

    That episode of "The Residents" was great (this past monday on TLC). I don't usually watch it because, well you know, I don't really need to see a bunch of bumbling residents outside of work, but I...

  4. How do you feel about child molesters?

    jaimealmostRN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    I'm sorry I just have to ask. Does you son still live with this monster? I'd get him out of there ASAP. Although it seems that your ex only abuses females, he is this boy's father and will teach...

    jaimealmostRN replied to midwife sarah's topic in Ob/Gyn

  6. Sickle Cell Crisis question

    jaimealmostRN replied to memphispanda's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Another student here: Can't you not give demerol for SS pain? I forget why as my text books are hidden away until June 1st. Anyone know or am I thinking of something else? OP, I think you did a...

  8. My take on nursing

    jaimealmostRN replied to New CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you for making a change. When do you find out about the PACU? Good luck!!!! Let us all know how it works out, and if it doesn't we'd still love to have you in the ED!

  9. need to vent

    jaimealmostRN replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

    z's player- I'm sorry that happened to you and I understand how angry/hurt you are . But I wouldn't report this nurse, when you graduate you may have a "bad" day (but probably still not be as nasty)...

  10. My take on nursing

    jaimealmostRN replied to New CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    CCU RN- I am sorry you are going through this. Usually I dislike when people's solution to a problem is: just quit. But you may want to try the ED. I have never seen an MD/DO/PA be rude to an RN in...

  11. Professional in scrubs?

    jaimealmostRN replied to Kora0880's topic in General Students

    A few days ago, my class had to do professional presentations (eg: we had to wear dress clothes). I wore my "interview" pants, a nice silk button down shirt and (gasp) heels. OMG, after the short...

    jaimealmostRN replied to Mat Price's topic in General Students

    Hi, I just wanted to chime in. I recently used Handango.com to buy Lippencott drug guide and Rncrashcart....b/c of a computer "malfunction" I was charged 5 times!!! yes, 5 times!!! (5 x $70) Despite...

  15. the Subpoena Blues

    jaimealmostRN replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

    IMO, this "I'll get you back one day (and your little dog too)" attitude just MAY be a reason that most people don't love lawyers...I have yet to meet one (and I do have "them" as friends) that will...

    jaimealmostRN replied to Lynn RN ER TX's topic in General Nursing

  18. What are your methods for keeping your cool at work?

    jaimealmostRN replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Mandi! I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm also young, but have found that presenting yourself professionally and slightly seriously can help you seem more "mature." I can't tell you how to...

  20. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    jaimealmostRN replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I had to do this about 9 months ago...one of my family members (previous drug issues, learning disablities, etc) went to a very small ED with a pretty bad reputation with a lump in her neck, vomiting,...

    jaimealmostRN replied to Lynn RN ER TX's topic in General Nursing
