    tarotale replied to AvaRN22's topic in Emergency

    tarotale replied to Knights Nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    tarotale replied to mee9mee9's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  13. Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    tarotale replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    well you can think about why stereotypes exist, and there's good reason for that. i give benefits of doubt, but most of folks that roll into our ER, I know they don't pay the bills, they probably go...

    tarotale posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hi, I am civilian nurse in the ER and I must say I always had admiration for the military lifestyle and pride they carry. Also there are other perks such as housing, insurance, respect, hierarchy,...

  17. Malpractice insurance

    tarotale replied to amzyRN's topic in General Nursing

  18. Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    tarotale replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

  19. Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    tarotale replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

  20. Why is Med-Surg so hated?

    tarotale replied to Nola009's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't blame the original poster. Lots of people hate bedside, me included. The bs of bedside she mentioned is definitely there and can't deny it. Some people can tolerate the bs. Others can't stand...

  21. Why is Med-Surg so hated?

  25. Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    tarotale replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    so quick question, what kind of stuff do RNs do at LTAC? I have never held a position at LTAC, since it mostly reminds me of places like nursing homes, SNF, or rehabs where you have people for too...
