About Stella_Blue

Stella_Blue specializes in Emergency Nursing.


I started out as a LPN in 2012. I then obtained my ASN 2 years later, and my BSN about 2 years after that. I then slowly moved my way to my dream job of the emergency room. It took me almost 3 years, but I never gave up. I worked LTC for a few months, as well as a cardiac/progressive care unit. My PCU unit specialized in PCI interventions, so I naturally love cardiac workups in the ER. I eventually plan on obtaining my CNS, but this is a 10-15 year goal for me.

  12. So let me just start off by saying that I do work the 1300 to 0100 shift, so I understand that this in itself is half the issue, but I am constantly either working triage or fast track. I hardly ever get a room assignment in the main ER. There are o...
