    Was I wrong?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to blueskyy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Things you wish you knew?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to kichkinet's topic in General Nursing

    1. You are never alone. Just ask (or yell!) for help. It's ok! 2. Experienced nurses have seen new nurses before. Give yourself a break. 3. When it hits the fan, breathe. Deep and slow. 4. Real...

    I found the info for you except that RoseQueen beat me to it. Ha ha! So basically to renew your license you pay $65 and say "Yes" when they ask you if you did them. They might check to see if you...

    Are you jealous of other nurses jobs/abilities?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Yup. I totally get what you're saying. Pediatrics procedures scares the piss out of me. Long term care nurses have patience beyond mortal comprehension. ICU nurses seem to know more about tubes,...

    ER RN moving to Trauma 1 Center

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to logan2016's topic in Emergency

    I'm actually going through exactly the same thing right now and I agree with PixieRN. I just moved to a level 1 from the level 2 hospital. I went from being a student nurse to an experienced nurse...

    New nurse on the floor

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Tinkers33's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it's ok to do them all separately. If they are compatible meds, it's probably a time management issue. Also, who exactly said that it was never ok? It may be a matter of being a broad blanket...

    Does Level of Trauma Center matter?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to NurseMedic28's topic in Emergency

    You are an EMT-B, and an EMT-P. Get your RN experience, and then they'll probably hire you just about anywhere you want to go because you have emergency experience. All ERs see the same kinds of...

    How to differentiate nursing dx and medical dx?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing
