    Lockportrn I am hugging you from orlando. I will keep your son and his friends in my thoughts. Orlando Strong. Orlando United.
  4. Elevated Troponin

    Ckd causes a strain on the heart so many of these pt have chronically elevated trops. My docs look at their baseline and as long as it is not an increase they aren't concerned. It's not an acute change and an expected part of the patho so usually not...
  5. Orlando

    Thank you. I'm actually going to Savannah later today with my bestie as a mini vaca.
  6. Orlando

    Thank you. That's where I work. It helps to know that the ED community has been supporting us.

  11. Savannah Georgia Ed/trauma nurses

    Thanks for the info! Super helpful! Coming from florida, we are known for low pay so I would *guess* it would be comparable since florida pay is so crappy lol. At memorial how was the trauma room? Are there only specific nurses that work it or can e...

  15. What is your ER policy for lunch breaks?

    I work in ER 1. It's a level 1. In 6 mos I have only not taken lunch 2 times. We all cover for each other. It's the best place and teamwork I ever worked.
  16. I feel so incompetent and dumb

    She gave you constructive criticism outside the patients room. Don't see the problem....
  17. ER nurses a different 'type' than others?

    This!!!!!
  18. ER nurses a different 'type' than others?

    Floor nursing was too rote, too routine for me. I learned I am not a detail oriented person. I love the er. Stabilize them and ship them upstairs or treat and street. When I give report to floor nurses that's get cranky that I don't have every IV gau...
  19. Floor to ED transition

    I worked as a floor nurse for 2 years. A couple of things I had to adjust to (which wasn't too hard since it's why I wanted er in the first place) Autonomy to make decisions and do interventions. This rocks. No more " I need to get an order for the l...

  23. Threatened by patient

    Workplace violence is unacceptable. Period.
  24. What are your pet peeves?

    So far in my little experience in the ER: Everyone who is pissed off that they can't eat. And the people who come to the ER but refuse everything or complain that they would be more comfortable at home. Then why are you here???
  25. ER RN must haves

    Pen light, stethoscope, trauma shears. Pen. One thing I love about ER compared to impatient is I don't need to stock my pockets with a ton of stuff. There's always a stock cart nearby and I really only need those basics listed above. I keep my penli...
