1. "Get out of here... go do some 'doctor' stuff..."

   myraybans&i replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Emergency

   I work with a few MDs in my ER who have to write an order for us to retake a pts HR even though it takes a second to put a probe on their finger... So the other day when one of the docs administered an enema for a constipated pt I was beyond flabber...

2. Beginner's Blues?

   myraybans&i replied to jrsRN07's topic in MICU

   Thank you for sharing. I think you're being too hard on yourself. You have to realize that the nurse that you gave report was also in your shoes at some point in time. Not everyone enters the ICU frontlines 100% prepared and ready to face the challen...

3. What are your pet peeves?

   myraybans&i replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

   I'm fairly new to the ED but I will never understand how some people don't bring a change of clothes, a jacket or shoes when coming to the ED via ambulance from home (for non-emergent or non-urgent cases). I've had to discharge patients with merely a...

4. New Graduates who don't welcome feedback

   myraybans&i replied to Majain2013's topic in Emergency

   I'm a new grad that was hired on full time in a busy emergency department immediately after I graduated. First and foremost, although you state you don't feel that all new grads are like this, it certainly does come off that way. I think it's unfair ...

5. Anyone currently taking Mohawk-McMaster's RPN to BScN program?

   myraybans&i replied to Insomniac-88's topic in CA Programs

   Hello, I have a few friends who completed the RPN-BScN program through the Mohawk-McMaster collaborative and I'm a McMaster BScN graduate (the two streams are merged later on in the delivery of the program). I'll try my best to answer the questions y...

6. Too much fluff in nursing programs?

   myraybans&i replied to Emma_H's topic in Canada

   I completely agree with what you've said, but I don't think it's fair to point the finger directly at the nursing programs within the country. As a recent graduate myself, I've sat through countless hours of FLUFF 101, 201, 301 etc. and through refle...

7. been out of school for 1 yr finding it hard to find RN job...help

   myraybans&i replied to mariesearcy's topic in Canada

   Hello. I'm sorry to hear you're not having much luck with job searching. I'm a recent graduate and I was lucky to be hired for a full-time position prior to graduation and writing the CRNE. I'll have to agree with the previous comments re: finding jo...

8. Have you already taken the CRNE? HELPPPP! Too much studying?

   myraybans&i replied to LR_C's topic in CRNE

   Hi crneexam. I wrote the CRNE in June and was successful. One thing I have learned through researching the NCLEX is that it is much more pathophysiologically based. The CRNE on the other hand, isn't. There seems to be a greater focus on psychosocial ...

9. Failed my CRNE...

   myraybans&i replied to daisyc's topic in CRNE

   Hi Daisy. I can't even begin to imagine how you're feeling right now. For what it's worth, it's not the end of the world. A peer of mine wrote the exam early this year, found out she failed, and rewrote the exam once again in June. This time she pass...
