    guest474423 replied to alwayslearning55's topic in General Nursing

    guest474423 replied to boyfactory's topic in Emergency

    I work in Upstate NY and we receive no differentials for unit specialty. I've been in ED for several years, no extra money. RN is an RN is an RN (degree doesn't matter

  3. Please help, career advice for the tired ED nurse

    guest474423 posted a topic in Emergency

    I'm at a crossroads. I was a paramedic for five years before deciding to go back to school for nursing. I thought it would be great to work in an ED and make extra money doing similar things...

  5. When is the right time to apply to an Agency(s)

    guest474423 replied to AlishaaaRN's topic in Travel

    Typically speaking, a four week lead time on your travel assignment is both ample and appropriate. But yes, start talking to agencies and weeding out the people you don't like. Be forewarned, it's a...

  6. Advice for transitioning to ER?

    guest474423 replied to K1,RN's topic in Emergency

    To the OP: I am involved in hiring at my facility and would echo the poster who suggested getting in at an Urgent Care. Frankly, when I have applicants whose only experience is out-patient I am a...

  7. Nebulised lignocaine for NG insertion

    guest474423 replied to nixonk86's topic in Emergency

    From what I can ascertain, lignocaine and lidocaine are one in the same. I do not use it nor am I familiar with it being used in New York State. That doesn't mean it's not happening. Anecdotally,...

  11. Please help, career advice for the tired ED nurse

    guest474423 replied to guest474423's topic in Emergency

    Sassy5d - I know what you mean. I work so fast in the ED that often times I don't even think about what I'm doing. We see so many patients that we lose the ability to think about it or care about...

  12. Please help, career advice for the tired ED nurse

    guest474423 replied to guest474423's topic in Emergency

    I'm not aware of any transport teams near me serving the adult population. Nor does my state have prehospital RNs except on flight crews (which aren't hiring right now). I do know of a pediatric...

    guest474423 replied to PapaBearRN's topic in Men in Nursing

    guest474423 replied to joesmith's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I see this has been sitting here for quite some time but I thought I'd respond anyway. I'm a nurse. Formerly a firefighter/paramedic. I live in NY. What I know pertains to NY but perhaps is...

  17. I HATE MY JOB

    guest474423 replied to nolamomx2's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Yikes, sounds like you need to do something! Isabelle is right, you need to delegate and take charge of your "team." What's happening is endemic to the profession: nurses eating their young. These...

    guest474423 replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Texas Nursing

    TexnMedic, I wasn't planning on applying in the Houston area. I was considering Dallas but figured I'd ask you because you sounded like you were from the same boat. I was on 911 as well for 5 years...
