  5. First Post- Not a nurse yet... advice for an old guy?

    LakeEmerald replied to thecadman99's topic in Men in Nursing

    Motherly, nurturing ways are not needed to be a nurse. A healthy dose of compassion, yes. But being tough and having the ability to keep moving forward while people around you are falling apart is...

    LakeEmerald replied to twindad85's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    LakeEmerald replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

  8. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    LakeEmerald replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Week 2 Assign: It was terrible, awful, and ugly. Turned mine in at the 11th hour, too! But like my husband said as he heard me groan for the 40th time on Saturday: "It's a 4 hour class. Isn't it...

  11. Pain management ;)

    LakeEmerald replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    No. We should not hound the MDs for IV pain meds just because the pt requests it. I have a few pts who seem to not experience any relief from pain meds, they usually end up being abdominal or chest...

  12. As I look ahead...

    LakeEmerald replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    The trueness - it burns! I love my ER, but all too often I find myself blocking the dingleberries out of my head who are there to "come to the doctor" and are put off because "it's taking too long."...

  13. New grads/ER

    LakeEmerald replied to lauriepat's topic in Emergency

    At my nursing school the top performers got to choose what area they wanted to precept in last semester. I chose ER, precepted there, and got hired with NO medical experience. You can apply to the...

    LakeEmerald replied to marace's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your honesty. Trust that you have helped many nurses who read this post. This really spoke to me because we move fast in our ER to keep traffic flowing. I felt your pressure as I was...

    LakeEmerald replied to Minch's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    They took my CEN in place of an elective. Paid $25 towards it. It worked out fine. I believe it does have to be a

    LakeEmerald replied to BrooklynRN11201's topic in Emergency

    YES! You will learn at ton and, who knows - maybe you'll be the one who starts the improvements! And also, you may find out that the hospital is better than you

  17. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    LakeEmerald replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'll be in this class. Darn! I was hoping this one wouldn't be so bad. But from the comments... I agree though, if we made it through research, we'll get through this! At least we'll have control...

  20. Opioid induced hyperalgesia

    LakeEmerald replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

    This is why it is becoming problematic for people to use the ED as their "Dr's Office." Many of my patients do, and, from what I've seen, a visit to the ED for a minor issue often equates to...

  22. I feel stuck...

    LakeEmerald replied to Mattastrophik's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Five more months - get your year and move on with your chin held high. LTC is not for you and employers will understand that. Male nurses seem to get hired pretty quickly here in GA. Keep a good...
