    Filipino Nurses, how are you?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to ariari's topic in Philippines

    Don't listen to NOADLS. It's an account someone made to annoy people on purpose. (It can be very entertaining at times) Theres an international nursing section here that you can get more replies...

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to padme007's topic in Emergency

    How long did it take you?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to studentnurse32/80's topic in General Students

    Keep going! Nursing school is awful but stopping partway through is worse. Put your head down and keep fighting! I actually lost an entire semester to being in an auto accident but came back...

    Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    Not only did you insult night shift nurse, but you compounded it by insulting office nurses as well. Then you tried to back peddle by playing "poor me, I'm just a student. Stop being angry and please...

    Mistakes

    This happens. You are new. You need to think this out one step at a time. First, deal with the dilaudid. Did you call someone or go back and do something about it? Second, take several deep...

    Future ER nurse

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to Nursechamp1's topic in Emergency

    Yeah it was probably the "flight" part. Flight nurses are critical care specialists. However, I think the OP was doing more emergency care rather than ICU style

    Help, Pls! New to the ED

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to hwngrl's topic in Emergency

    Just for the feel of the E.D. I'd go with Emergency 24/7 by Echo Heron. For general knowledge I really liked Quick Reference to Critical Care by Nancy

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to joyful_wanderer's topic in Emergency

    Every day we have a pile of them. I asked one guy why he wouldn't just stick to the natural stuff and he said it was because he is on parole and it won't show up in the urine tests. At least he's...

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to ahosoda's topic in Emergency

    Magnet status

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing
