1. ER deaths

   360jRN replied to ToriAneal's topic in Emergency

   Longest code I've ever worked was on a ER nurse I worked with. The only report we got from EMS was they were coming in with a female code, so when the ambulance backed up to our bay the doors flung...

2. Please tell me about these CA facilities

   360jRN replied to NurseAdventure's topic in Travel

   Did you notice if Mills had many PRN workers? I've been thinking of finding a staff PRN position out there rather than doing agency or contract. I've talked with a few people doing just that around...

3. Codes

   360jRN replied to applesxoranges's topic in Emergency

   Sounds like how codes on day shift at my facility are run. They actually page them over head and that brings down every nosey Nancy "to help". When you've got scrub techs and your CEO in the corner of...

4. Rural ED nursing - a 180 turn

   360jRN replied to crckt's topic in Emergency

   Yes... You would be setting yourself up for failure. Just like there are surgeons that I'm sure you worked with and cringed when you saw you had a case with them - there are plenty of ER physicians...

5. Er burn out? Stressed out?

   360jRN replied to ERnurse71's topic in Emergency

   Be thankful for the easy ones. One, it's easy charting - and I hate charting lol. Two, it's easy money - and I love money lol. Three, they're usually in and out - and like you I love moving the meat....

6. Dallas- Ebola

   360jRN replied to ParalyticAgent's topic in Travel

   I never said that they were bringing in extra staff for Ebola itself. I was referencing the increased volume that surrounding facilities will see due to: 1) the hospital being on divert 2) public fear...

7. Dallas- Ebola

   360jRN replied to ParalyticAgent's topic in Travel

   Yeah because the last time I saw 2000/week was for a strike. And... seeing how Presbyterian is on diversion, surrounding ERs just might be trying to bulk up ahead of the storm. So I guess you could...

    360jRN replied to Underthemoonicp6's topic in Travel

    My current assignment is in a little east Tx ER and my last assignment was south of Houston in Lake Jackson and I have had a great experience in both places. You always hear horror stories of how...

11. Is this a good contract?

    360jRN replied to PhillyFNP's topic in Travel

    I'm from Louisiana so primarily work in the south and ER only; however, I did work in WV a couple years ago and my bring home was 1550ish for 36hours. Currently working in east Texas and bring home...

12. ED RNs at risk doing ASAs?

    360jRN replied to 1EmergencyRN's topic in Emergency

    We don't have SANE coverage at the facility I'm currently working. It's our practice to advise Pt's that we can collect the evidence; however, there is an increased possibility that it will be thrown...

13. Rude nurse?

    360jRN replied to obloom14's topic in Emergency

    I apologize if that was our ER. Its an open floor concept and sound really carries down each hall. I could easily see the "there's no chest pain" laugh of relief taking place; chest pain is like a...

14. Being thrown to the wolves during orientation

    360jRN replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Emergency

    What kind of nursing did you do prior to going to the ER? I know the biggest hangup that most nurses have is learning how to get away from the full assessment and doing a focused assessment. This can...

    360jRN replied to aphmac's topic in Travel

    TLC is right on with the gap in pay and travel expenses adding up. If you plan on taking a U-haul, which I did because I took the fam, it'll cost you about 250/each way, gas, lodging, meals, and then...
