  3. Sherri I agree with you 100% People have the stereotypical image of nurses that they learn from the media. This guy probably has a fantasy for all of the professions you mentioned in your post. He...
  4. How much did your nursing education cost you? Worth it?

  5. Thoughts/Experiences working in a V.A. hospital?

  7. Ativan IVP given undiluted into central line.

  14. Thoughts/Experiences working in a V.A. hospital?

    I work in MICU at a VA in NC. I hve worked here as a cna first and now an RN for the past 3 years. I lvoe the VA and the patients are great for the most part. This VA is not huge so you recognize...
  15. Good Samaritan Law

    My understanding of the GSL, is this: As an RN you can perform at an accident the things that are in the scope of your practice. In NC RN's do not intubate for example. If I were to intubate some...
  16. your favourite??

    I love the VA and am glad to hear so many giving positive impression of the va's they have
  24. The "dirty" side of nursing...

    It is funny how the things I thought would bother me the most really do not. I do not like emesis of any sort, but especially with blood in it. I also worked on the oncology floor for a bit and hung...
  25. ACLS Certified. So now what?

    I got ACLS certification shortly after becoming an RN because I initially worked on a telemetry floor. When I was able, I went to codes in the hospital and participated in ways that I was able to...
