london 88 I find it hard to believe why an icu nurse cannot deal with a hypertensive / hypotensive pt. if you have one pacu nurse on call at night, how would that person handle the case alone, when it took 3 nurses in your dept to handle the pt. wo...

HI All I always try to have one open monitor bed for a critical patient that comes thru triage. on a bad day, that means filling my all the beds, but knowing one will open up soon. i dont care about ambulance patients. they are already being tre...

we have had good success with droperidol and benedryl.

we have a sign, 2 in fact, that read patients will be seen in order of severity of illness, which may not always be in order of arrival. it doesnt matter. people yell and complain anyways. it is always ME ME ME. i had a young girl (10ish) approach ...

i work 11a-11p, 3 days a week. get to sleep in a little, and get the kids off to school in the am. it is the busiest time to work (ed), but i like missing ruch hour too!!

On a very, very busy day, the wait for non emergent players was about 2-3 hours. After seeing many ambulances drop off pts, someone in he waiting room called 911 from the pay phone so the ambulance would come pick up her up and she could go right b...

here is the text of the expired link.. Akron Beacon Journal BY CHERYL POWELL The Akron City Hospital ER got hit with an emergency of its own yesterday. But this trauma called for a door repairman, not a doctor. A woman crashed a stolen Akron Fire D...

best advice: trade spots with a a coworker so you dont have to be in triage. - thats only because i loathe triage.. only practice can make a better triage nurse. did your dept orient you well to the position? if you are worried about a patient, co...

imagine the " nursing shortage" if they tried....... http://www.nurseweek.com if ya wanna check out the on line version.

Oue ED starts collecting copays in the next couple weeks. a registration clerk will meet with patients after discharge to discuss payments and make arrangements. The hospital has actually hired an outside company to start this up. I guess the dept...

I was wondering about jacksonville on line program, too. the contact people seem all "sales" and send in your cash to reserve your spot - space is limited. but i was wondering about the program itself. do the nurses like it?? i am interested in the f...

what state is AR? Is that for a hospital or nursing home? New grads in northeast ohio are starting at around 18-20/hr. plus bonus. Why does nursing seem to cap out salaries after approx 5 years???? ( because we let them). and 60k in nyc is ...

do u have spontanous breaths and a pulse? good , you'll work just fine. no problems on ohio getting a job, and pay isnt too bad either.

I think most men (including me) leave med surgical units because they are tired of being used as an aide to help lift (on bed, to chair,off floor, to bsc...) everyones' patients. hahaha I basically left med/surg because I was tired of always working ...

kak nurse, I understand your position about the wife. what really needs to be done is to secure help for her thru other areas of the hospital. the social woker. patient laison. your charge nurse or manager. co-worker. they should all be at your...

I hate those nursing mags because of those scenarios. Too much practicing medicine, and not enough nursing skills. i dropped my subscription after the article on documenting the site and needle used for blood draws. who has time?? I think those a...

WHAT A LOADED QUESTION !!!!! No one, in any job profession, is prepared by education alone. 30% of teachers quit in the first three years. My business major friends have had numerous jobs in the last 3 years. 1st year residents - enough said. WE ARE ...
