    LOL ok, I concede that point, maybe floor nurses don't have ALL the control, but they do control what they

  5. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    GM2RN replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Either you haven't read the rest of the thread or you have chosen to ignore it. ED nurses accommodate floor nurses when they can, but they are often FORCED to accommodate them by the floor taking...

    Thanks for this post. I have a few things to add but you saved me a lot of writing. RNCCRN9706, The point you made below is actually a good one. Nurses floated to the ED are next to useless...

  7. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    GM2RN replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Meal times might be busy on the floor but it isn't fair to the pts in the ED to ask them to wait 2-3 hours to be transported when they already have a room assigned because other pts are hungry. Nor...

    My hospital isn't that large, about 2/3 that size, but we aren't allowed to divert at all because we are the only hospital in the

  9. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    GM2RN replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Another reason floor nurses sometimes don't get report from the nurse who has cared for the pt is because the floor nurse "hasn't had time" to take report, so when they finally "get time" to take...

  10. Why am I now the enemy?

    GM2RN replied to FancypantsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I meant who transports your critical patients from the ED to the ICU? You said that your ED nurses don't leave the ED, so I assumed you worked in the ED. In every hospital I have worked in, an RN...

  11. Narcotic question

    GM2RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would not be comfortable giving 2 pills at once if the order is for 1, regardless of what other nurses are doing. Think of it this way, giving 2 at once is changing the order to 2 pills daily,...

  12. potential future nurse seeking wisdom from current nurses

    GM2RN replied to George4life's topic in Nursing Career

    If nursing is a contingency plan, why not go the direct route apply to med school first, or at least the same time? If you get in, no need for nursing school. If not, you still have plenty of time...

  14. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    GM2RN replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently not according to some. But that's ok. I would rather work an "easy" job and get paid more than the nurses on the floor who work their behinds

    Seriously, you need to get over

  16. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    GM2RN replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of the percentage of real emergencies in the ED, ALL of them go to the ED, and one ED nurse might have 2-3 of them at the same time, and that will happen much more frequently than the m/s...

  17. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    GM2RN replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    So we shouldn't expect to call report for 2-3 hours around meal times?

  20. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    GM2RN replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously, let's not exaggerate here. I highly doubt that anyone was talking about waiting only 5 minutes, but it's rarely ever JUST 5 minutes. I start my shift at 17:00 and can't tell you how often...

  21. Question for Nurse Recruiters about New Graduate RN Resume

    GM2RN replied to ggabri07's topic in General Nursing

    If you do this, I would recommend that you apply to jobs that you would not be likely to accept in order to test the market. That way, you won't waste an opportunity by applying to a job that you...

  22. what is considered high acuity?

    GM2RN replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in General Nursing

    I literally laughed out loud when I read this! Reminds me of some of our ICU nurses who refuse to accept pts that they determine are too "unstable" for ICU, or try to tell us what tests to run and...

  23. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    GM2RN replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

  25. Why am I now the enemy?

    GM2RN replied to FancypantsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Having SBAR populated by the software would be very cool! I'm assuming that it doesn't take any extra work ant that you only have to print it when ready to fax it to the floor? What software package...
