  1. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    GM2RN replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree that having an IV is important, but our patients are required to have an IV if being admitted, so it should be a given that they have one. Also, if I've just told the receiving nurse that I...

  2. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    GM2RN replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You know, it's really difficult not to reply to some of this with a sarcastic remark. It is obvious that you haven't spent any time working in an ER or it has been so long ago that you don't remember...

  4. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    GM2RN replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I also don't believe that management would allow your ER nurses to get away with consistently holding admitted patients just to avoid getting a new one. It just doesn't pass the smell

  5. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    GM2RN replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Odds are that you don't really know what is happening in the ER and the reason for getting patients to the floor at that time of day. Once it's past a certain time of night, ER doctors often hold off...

  6. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    GM2RN replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You're right, we really should just get rid of the emergency room altogether because the only nurses that know what they're doing work on the floor anyway. Us ER nurses are just

  7. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    GM2RN replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I know, right! Cuz it's not like we have patients to take care of or anything, I mean besides the one we are supposed to give report on. So we just go out of our way to make it difficult to give...

  8. Men in the (nursing) field

    GM2RN replied to futuremurse21's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you want something that is forever changing you should try the ED. I'm not a people person by definition so it's easier for me to "fake" it with the constant turnover of patients. Plus, if you get...

  9. Press Release - allnurses Survey Says Nurses are Bullish on the Industry Outlook

    GM2RN replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say that participants were dumb, but perhaps naïve to the big picture of

  10. Medical Assistants being called nurses

    GM2RN replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, please quote the person you are responding to so we can better understand what you are saying. Otherwise your responses seem to come from left field and it makes it difficult to follow the...

  11. "Your ER sucks!" and other pleasantries...how you handle them?

    GM2RN replied to livingthedream77's topic in Emergency

    I had to actually chuckle out loud at this!

  12. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    GM2RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Why is my reply extraordinary? Usually when someone makes a statement such as yours by pointing out what they feel is a greater injustice, it is an attempt to justify what they see as the lesser...

    GM2RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    One wrong doesn't justify

  14. Medical Assistants being called nurses

    GM2RN replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know the answer to your question, but it wasn't until this post that I understood what it is that you were

  15. Medical Assistants being called nurses

    GM2RN replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So what is it that you are meaning to

  16. Case Management Scenario Questions

    GM2RN replied to SPJJMommy's topic in Case Management

    I don't work in case management but I do have an interest and the questions do not make sense to me either. For the first question it's possible that, like in other interview situations, they just...

  17. Medical Assistants being called nurses

    GM2RN replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Someone already pointed out that medical assistance are certified and not licensed. I'd also like to clarify that even if a medical assistant has had training and is certified, they are not trained to...

  18. Medical Assistants being called nurses

    GM2RN replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sounds to me like someone is jealous. Other than that, this isn't even worth responding

  19. Medical Assistants being called nurses

    GM2RN replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm curious; how do the physicians respond when you tell them

  20. An Unapologetic Reasoning On Why You Don't Want To Be A Nurse.

    GM2RN replied to Mr Midwife's topic in General Students

    Brandy, I think you misunderstood my post. I wasn't speaking of myself. I'm already in the profession and agree that it is a difficult job. I'm very careful about encouraging anyone to become a...

  21. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    GM2RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Some NP's make six figures, some don't, and it's less likely for a new NP where, in my area for example, new NP's start off making a couple of dollars an hour less than what I make as an RN with seven...

  22. An Unapologetic Reasoning On Why You Don't Want To Be A Nurse.

    GM2RN replied to Mr Midwife's topic in General Students

    It's my opinion that some who read allnurses are just stubborn enough to need to prove that they know better, that they can do exactly what nurses with experience are advising against, that somehow...

  23. An Unapologetic Reasoning On Why You Don't Want To Be A Nurse.

    GM2RN replied to Mr Midwife's topic in General Students

    While I agree with you that nursing has many facets and there are many areas to choose from, in reality, it isn't always that easy to change as it may once have been. For example, it took over one...

  24. An Unapologetic Reasoning On Why You Don't Want To Be A Nurse.

    GM2RN replied to Mr Midwife's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure that we all know this, but since this is a nursing forum and most of the members are nurses, it seems pretty relevant to apply this to

  25. An Unapologetic Reasoning On Why You Don't Want To Be A Nurse.

    GM2RN replied to Mr Midwife's topic in General Students

    I could have written this about myself. There aren't many days that go by when I'm at work and think to myself that my family would be surprised to see how I act and treat my patients because I'm...
