  1. Leaving the emergency room for endoscopy

    cadency posted a topic in Gastroenterology

    Hey all! Just wanting to introduce myself and talk about endoscopy. I'm going to be starting a new position in the field in the next two or three weeks. I'm pretty excited - I shadowed for a little...

  2. Differences Between Pediatric ER and Adult ER

    cadency posted a topic in Emergency

    So I started in an all adult ER. I'm at a combination ER with minimal pediatric contact. I just got offered a position as a pediatric ER nurse with some cross over to the adult side if I want to. I...

  3. Differences Between Pediatric ER and Adult ER

    cadency replied to cadency's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for all the input! Gonna try to keep my head up. I try to be so cautious with the adult population but it sounds like it'll be even more important for the kiddos! Will definitely ask lots of...

  4. Differences Between Pediatric ER and Adult ER

    cadency replied to cadency's topic in Emergency

    I was thinking about that the other day; more appys, more seizures, asthma/bronchiolitis, etc. So good point! I realize the focus will be totally different. I think it'll be challenging to the...

  5. Facebook almost cost me my job

    cadency replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked at another facility that forced you to use a disclaimer stating that anything on your facebook was not associated with the facility. The other option was to not even list you were working...

  6. Emergency Nursing - Alpha personalities?

    cadency replied to Ocelot's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel like I've seen more nursing cannibalism in the ER than I did when I was on the floors. I've also experienced a lot of "favoritism." Certain people given preference by those in power or...

  7. Will I ever keep up the pace???

    cadency replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in Emergency

    Some of the time management things will come with time; does your ER have set protocols? That helped me so much when I started that I began to anticipate what I would need for my abdominal pains and...

  8. New ED Resident

    cadency replied to BackpackingRN's topic in Emergency

    Grats! It'll be a ride! I started in the ER straight out of school and it can be a challenge... but definitely

  9. Why I'm sick of the ED

    cadency replied to RoyalNurse's topic in Emergency

    I can totally relate to this post right now. I've been in the ER environment for a year and a half. This being my second ER since I've been in a new state. I don't know if it's the state out here,...

  10. New Grad Blues in the ER...

    cadency replied to DreaRN80's topic in Emergency

    I'm a new grad in a level 1 trauma ED. Been there since March, but am in a nurse residency that gave us the benefit of working through 7 critical care units to find one that "matches" to us. Being a...

  11. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    cadency replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Just to confirm... ED is royal blue dress code. When you go through, a lot of the units will have t-shirts they can wear. ED is the only unit that doesn't allow that... but when you're rotating...

  12. Sickle cell

    cadency replied to inteRN's topic in Emergency

    We have a sickle cell protocol at my facility. O2, q30min dilaudid x 4, q1h dilaudid x 2 (iirc) and then see where the pain is at. If their pain is still unmanagable at that point, it decides...

  13. Which JOB should I pick?

    cadency replied to Jasminbear's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My only comment to this would be to consider what you want to do in the future and how long you intend to be at this job. An ED, you can take pretty much anywhere. Burn, however, is much more...

  14. Is it hard to get a job as a new grad?

    cadency replied to JenWork's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I graduated in May of 09 and relocated in January 2010 from Tucson to find a job because the market there was so

  15. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    cadency replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I live in Antioch... it's about 25 minutes away from Vandy. Antioch's odd in the way that some areas are friendlier than others. Brentwood is posh and more expensive. The closer you get to Vandy,...

  16. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    cadency replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Definitely do the permit. I just barely had time to recently get my fingerprints done for the actual license... and it costs additional monies to do the background check on top of the money to apply...

  17. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    cadency replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm not sure how to go about the process with needing to take the NCLEX here. I had my license prior to moving in my compact state and we were required to file for an "endorsement" with the state of...

  18. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    cadency replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Please remember that, if you itemize your taxes, that your move expenses are potentially tax deductible. Save everything! Things like the NCLEX are also work related tax deductible expenses. I moved...

  19. Faking Seizure in ER

    cadency replied to Toquay's topic in Emergency

    Too funny! Did you guys see some of the others? We had a lecture on ACS today... felt totally appropriate

  20. Faking Seizure in ER

    cadency replied to Toquay's topic in Emergency

    I'm new to the ED... but I swear, I had something similiar like this happen to me already! Funny!

  21. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    cadency replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    hey guys! good luck with the interviews! I hope you hear soon. I'm in the winter cohort with AngelRN... so I'm sure we'll be seeing some of you guys around! I think I saw a lot of you guys taking...

  22. ER NP and jobs in the field

    cadency posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi :) I'm interested in specializing as an ER NP, and I'm currently looking up graduate programs but I'm having a rather difficult time finding colleges that offer specific ER NP programs. Is there...

  23. ER NP and jobs in the field

    cadency replied to cadency's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Are you having any luck? Where are you in your schooling so far? I looked up the UT-Houston ENP program. I haven't had time to read too in depth yet, though. I was in my EMT class when I started...

  24. Shadowing/Volunteering in Tucson

    cadency replied to rgshire's topic in Arizona Nursing

    cadency posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to start looking for nursing scholarships, specific to California? I'm currently located in Arizona, with plans on relocating to the Long...
