  1. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    And another thing I wonder, I have been to the ER here and sometimes, especially on weekends, it is quite busy. Other times it is not. Perhaps you work in a major metro area where the ER is...

  2. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I never have an attitude with my patients, I was simply asking why is it that it takes forever to get them through the ER and then when they finally are to be admitted it HAS TO BE RIGHT NOW? Honest...

  3. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this is a good point that you make. What I do not understand, nor do patients, is why they can sit in the ER for hours and hours, and then when it is finally time to admit them, it has to be done...

  4. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I actually laughed out loud when I read the last one! I am sorry and I do get what you are talking about cause it does happen here too. Well not that last one, but a lot of the things you have...

    Five&Two Will Do replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wonder how your husband would feel if he could see the way you act or hear the things you talk

  6. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Five&Two Will Do replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I think: In the ER every situation has to be treated like an emergency. The very second they decide to relax and feel like something is routine, somebody dies. In the ICU every detail...

  8. which nursing (RN) specialty has the most autonomous practice

    Five&Two Will Do replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    I work in an ICU we also have good order sets which allow us to order labs and imaging as well as titrate IV medications for effect. This can be sedation such as propofol or ativan or pressors such...

  9. Johnson & Johnson commercials

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    It is very nice to have a decent portrayal of a male nurse besides Gaylord Focker. I lvoe being a nurse and there is certainly no rule that says you can't be all guy and still be very gentle, caring,...

  11. Is my assumption correct??

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is good that you try to educate non nurses about the difference between NP and MD. I do not think that the MD could get into trouble for the operators answering the phone inappropriately....

    Five&Two Will Do replied to luvmyhubbybunches's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly how I feel when I am off. My wife says that I have been very moody since I went to night shift back in November. Finally though I get to go to dayshift and I am so thankful for

  13. I need some help with this decision-PLZ!!

    Five&Two Will Do replied to luvmyhubbybunches's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you 100% I finally get to go to dayshift in July after the new nurses are out of orientation. I feel like I have aged 10 years in the last 6 months! At least I wasn't in trigemeny...

  14. whinny nurses

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Nursing

    Some shifts are harder than others I think we can all agree on that fact. Those tough days with the loopy patient that hits or spits, or the difficult familiy members in the variouis stages of grief,...

  15. Older and back in nursing school...????

    Five&Two Will Do replied to kcrewfive's topic in General Students

    You will never get anywhere until you take the first step. While in nursing school, it seems as thouigh it will never end. All of those early cold morning clinicals! Yuck! But then one fine day you...

  16. Pre nursing student needs advice

    Five&Two Will Do replied to ldm2484's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it depends on where you work. It also depends on how selfmotivated you are. If you believe that you want to be an RN, being a CNA allows you to work under the direct supervision of RN's...

  17. Pre nursing student needs advice

    Five&Two Will Do replied to ldm2484's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I became a CNA in order to dtermine whether or not nursing was for me. I did that job through school and it actually helped me greatly during school. Also it seemed like people who had never cared...

    Five&Two Will Do replied to grneyes676's topic in General Nursing

    "A rod for our own backs" I like that statement. We use both the flow sheet for vitals, meds, I&O, but I do critical care notes in the computer for my assessment. They scan the flowsheet into...

    Five&Two Will Do replied to payang0722's topic in General Nursing

  20. whinny nurses

    Five&Two Will Do replied to Nurse-One's topic in General Nursing

    I love it! It is all about the perspective. I can be grateful that it is not me in that bed with a tube coming from every hole in my body not likely to ever come off of the vent. They deserve the...

  21. descrimination in nursing

    Five&Two Will Do replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    If you are in fact a nurse, which I do not think you possibly could be, clearly you are trying to get a rise out of people. I do not think I could purposely misspell as many words as you have. Stop...
