Squad brought in a patient and on the call sheet the chief complaint was F*#! You. Once I talked to the patient it didn't take long to figure out that F You was the only thing he would say! LOL

great book! i would have never made it through my first semester and drug dosage calculations class without it. fairly inexpensive and works wonders!!

My personality type is ESFP. Where do you all think I would best fit in?? I work in the ER right now and will be done with RN school in December.

I just bought a pair of Dansko clogs on Ebay for $40 NEW! They have tons on there in all different colors and sizes! I was very excited. I've never owned a pair, but all of the nurses at work swear by them. I owned a pair of Rocker lightweights a...

First, I want to say that you have every right to be angry at these two techs, but have you ever stopped to think how much easier the good ones make your job? I know the ED that I work in without techs the nurses would never be able to get their jobs...

12/05 graduation here! (God willing) I am excited and scared at the same time!! Good luck to all of you fellow seniors!!

Congratulations on the PACU job! I worked in PACU for almost 2 years as a CNA and I loved it. I wasn't allowed to do much, but the doctors and nurses were great about showing me new things so I would at least have an idea of what was going on. Now...

i hate to say it, but i am so glad that other students are having the same problems that i am in nursing school. i had to laugh at some of them because they are exactly what i go through every day and here i thought no one could relate! :chuckle one ...

indigo, i wish you the best of luck with your treatment and your career as a nurse. you sound like a very strong-willed woman and i have no doubt that you will not only graduate but also become a wonderful nurse. keep in touch and let me know ho...

the er i work in had this same problem, so when it came time to remodel they decided to add on a 6 bed "fast track" unit where patients with sore throats, ingrown toenails, blah, blah, blah can be seen. these patients generally wait awhile in the wai...

during my first semester of clinicals the patients were very receptive (those that were conscious anyway). on the med/surg floor the nurses had so many other patients that they just didn't have any extra time to spend with the patients. pretty much...

i was recently working in the peds er and was having a very bad day! i was walking a 5 y/o to the restroom when the doctor stopped me at the nurses station. the little girl stopped along side me and put her arm around my waist and said, "it will be o...

i got my cna when i was a senior in hs and after i graduated i worked in a nursing home until i could get a job at a hospital. i've worked on the ortho/neuro unit, pacu, and the emergency room and i have learned so much. when it came time for clinica...

i am keeping my options open until i finish all of my clinicals. i work in the ed right now and i really enjoy that, but we'll see what happens. i'm looking forward to my ob, maternity, and psych clinicals. "stewie"

I am from Va, just outside of Richmond. My husband and I would love to move to Texas. Maybe one day! :)

The ED I work for has tv's in some of the areas (mostly where the patients are going to be there for awhile). It has really made a difference. The tv's are mounted up on the wall out of the way and the remote is part of the nurse callbell. There hasn...

Maybe I don't understand. What does having to wait 6 hours at the ER have to do with calling 911 and getting an ambulance? Sounds like more of a complaint against the hospital.

Depending on where you live as to whether you have to pay or not. I live in a rural area that does not charge, but if I moved 5 miles up the road I would have to pay for an ambulance ride. They have a set fee for ALS and BLS transport and then add mi...

I have a few for y'all. Brothers Russell Ford (aka Rusty) and Dustin Dodge (aka Dusty), not that those aren't bad enough names, but their last name was Fender. What were their parents thinking?!

i am in my 2nd semester at a local richmond community college and now i kind of wish that i had gone to bon secours. i am sure that all schools have their share of problems, but everyone that i know that has been through the bon secours program love...

for the nursing program that i am in we actually had to take and pass the test before we could even apply. i got the nln study guide from the bookstore and that really helped me out alot. i hadn't taken a math class in about 10 years, so the algebr...
