  5. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    roxburin replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Golfers thumb: A man hurt his finger/nail on Monday and came in on Friday to have it taken care of so he could heal and fly out for golf the following week. It didn't look that bad at all and he kept...

  6. Dealing with death

    roxburin replied to savealife's topic in General Nursing

  7. Need Common Phrases in Spanish

    roxburin replied to roxburin's topic in Emergency

  9. Unsafe assignments in the ED

    roxburin replied to LeahJet's topic in Emergency

    Our ER (Level I Trauma) seems like a mad house. I'm sure there is some logic to it, but we have over 20 beds/rooms, trauma area(s), people outside those rooms in beds, people in the hallways in the...

    roxburin posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    roxburin replied to roxburin's topic in Medical-Surgical

    A hospital here says they have positions for sterilizers and OR Assistants. I want to become an OR nurse someday and am now taking prereqs to that end. Should I drop a job that pays 45K a year in...

  13. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    roxburin replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suppose my problem would be that if my dissecting the cat made the city pound's job easier because someone was going to use the dead cat or if the school actually paid for the cat therefore creating...

  14. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    roxburin replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    roxburin replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    roxburin replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm trying to get my head around wether or not it makes a difference if they were donated or bought. I'm anti-euthanasia too. I know that it happens and does it make it better that the cats are...

  18. ER violence

    roxburin replied to night fox's topic in Emergency

    Is there a heirarchy in the ER that tells you when to hold someone or tazer someone or break up some people? I am volunteering soon and was wondering if the doctors have the call on that or the nurses...

  22. baths?

    roxburin posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not currently a nurse and was wondering if you have to give patients baths or is there anyway around that? I think the ER, OR and possibly the ICU sound interesting, but bathing someone isn't...

  25. Male RN's in demand ?

    roxburin replied to roxburin's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Anyone ever hear of equal opportunity employment? Basically, I think it's a crock having to hire minorities or women just to fulfill a quota. Everyone should be treated equal right? It's a twist...
