    ixchel replied to Purple_roses's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah... That's about the face my CN and I were making. His MD (private practice) had arrived on the floor to do his notes but hadn't come in the room. We didn't know he was on the floor. When I...

    We had someone sent us who had been hyperventilating for hours. Came to the floor, no intubation, not one but two doctors didn't question this. No ABGs, no intubation... Real head scratcher. First...

    I'm sure you're right, and I'm sure some patients also get white coat syndrome. Some of our docs are the approachable type, others are not. Some depend on the type of day they've had. We have two...

    It's possible you wont be happy, but you WILL get a huge amount of experience and knowledge. Nurses who immediately go into L&D frequently (anecdotally) find themselves stuck there. That's okay if...
