  1. New grad in the ER, yes or no?

    srobb11 replied to FORTHELOVEOF!!!!'s topic in Emergency

    As a new grad in the ER getting to the end of orientation, I'll tell you it's hard. Time management is my biggest obstacle at this point, which I know will come with time. Everyone keeps telling me...

  5. Calling Code Blue in ED

    srobb11 replied to becca001's topic in Emergency

    Since there is already a team in place in the ER fully capable of handling a code 24/7, it seems extremely counterproductive to have a Code Blue Team respond to the ER. Also, it takes away care from...

    srobb11 replied to srobb11's topic in Emergency
