Hi! I was just wondering in nyc how much do per diems generally make? I'm considering perdiem in er somewhere. I work in pa in an er currently for the past 5 years. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to understand how come central lines require iv pumps? Is it due to pressure? And this is required for picc line correct also due to the pressure? I've just seen some hang things such as NS and some abx by gravity wit...

Hey everyone! I just have some questions what I discussed with coworkers: A fellow coworker told me a pregnant friend of his the fetus had died. They did I believe an US (I don't know how old the fetus is) and no heartbeat. So they were going to r...

I have a big problem. Well good in some ways but not in others. I'm a HUGE packrat. I graduated with my bsn 2 years ago and I still have every nursing book, general ed, phys ed class books and notes. So I have a big collection of stuff even from ...

Wow I didn't realize that! I wonder if that happens a lot. That's not fair. you can argue as you stated the primary md works over the others but if you are seen by NP and PA the insurance should cover it. I can't stand insurance and drug coverage ...

Thanks for all the helpful tips! I'm feeling more comfortable with the peds pts as I work with them more. It's refreshing than the constent 90 year olds I was used to working with! Even ivs are not as intimidating as it once was for me. It was ba...

Hey everyone! I've moved to my ER department and was wondering if anyone had pointers on how to interact and do nursing procedures on infants and peds pts. Here are several of my concerns and if anyone else has pointers please add on, mainly a lot ...

My ER has weekly meetings with managment and chair of the ER physicians present right at 7am. So nights come to them right after their shift. Our ER is setup so when the relief is there if it's 0715 we can go to the meeting soon and it last for 1.5...

I hated flu shots too b/c every time I got one my shoulder felt warm and extremely sore as if a hammer hit it. Well maybe not that bad but very painful. I still would get them and still plan too, but this year I just got one several days ago and it...

Well if they are getting medical care in prison don't they go by hippa too? I'm not talking about family as the OP pointed out just your one comment here.

i love the hospitalist program. mostly due to the fact we had one available day and night to call for any pt concerns. however more and more primary mds i feel in some ways abuse them to not have to come to the hospital at all for pts. i don't know...

I understand feeling the way you do but I really feel a lot of it is to vent and honestly it is quite funny. You really do have to joke about it. Now some posts can be too much and downright nasty. I think many of us understand we are health care ...

Well I worked on a crazy respitory med surg unit for 3 years. Not as many years as you did but enought that I felt totally stagnated. Was not interesting. Limitted staff. Extremely needy pts and families with not enough help to address concerns. Sick...

I'm in NE pa and one of the busiest ERs in the state. We have no such free clinics at least in my several towns surrounding the hospital. There's a community center for children and it's limitted. My grandmother in CT has a "Doc in a box" and sound...

Actually, I found it rather truthful and pointing out there needs to be more staffing, more space, and more resources for people without insurance. And I didn't find it slamming healthcare workers either. I was about to pounce about ER forced to be...

I had a $3,000 sign on bonus and a $5,000 tuition reimbursement which was AWESOME for me. Staffing I think is allways an issue but overal my hospital I feel is alright although definitely issues. However, one of my coworkers called himself "nurse w...

Hey everyone. I had a pt come into the ER in full cardiac arrest. Didn't make it. 56 yr old really sad. He had a life partner who was extremely distraught and actually signed in to get medication to calm down. Anyway, he specifically told us abou...

My one coworker couldn't stand working on our med surg floor after 7 years and switched to education as well and is enjoying it very much. I've used DR. Scholls arch support things in my shoes that help. I used to use Rockers shoes by Cherokee b/c...

I can't imagine physically hurting that bad but I did work on a med surg floor for 3 years and it got to the point I HATED comming to work. I was depressed, literally sick to my stomach comming in, exhuasted. What's worse is I started "wigging out"...

OOOH how could I forget that....happened where I was too jeeze!

I think you are refering to Extended Care Facility.

I'm really trying not to offend anyone, this debate has been going on for so long and almost pointless, but this thread reminded me of what me brothers friend said about me! I'm young so it was MY choice to allways go to a 4yr college. I chose nurs...

I never had to really deal with ampules except for occasional vit K. Now in the ED I am continually giving the 3 vials of IV lopressor 5min apart and I can't stand ampules!!!! I've only nicked myself once and ALLWAYS had a difficult time breaking th...
