  1. Do you have to be an adrenaline junkie to work in the ER?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Nola009's topic in Emergency

    When we have ICU patients waiting in the ER for a bed, guess where the family members

  2. New Grad Nurse Might Lose Job Struggling In Orientation

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Scrubba Dub's topic in General Nursing

    I hated that question during my orientation, during my requesting help from other people when I was off orientation, and anytime I would ask someone else a question on something I've never done. We...

  3. Help Quit New Grad ICU Job

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to lclapps's topic in General Nursing

    This is what you say in interviews, you tell the interviewer that one of your strengths is being honest with yourself. Your patients' lives mattered more than your pride, you realized you were in a...

  4. Write Up's and Potential Termination for Pain Reassessments

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to MiralaxOnIceRN's topic in General Nursing

    Same at my place, re-assessments are required or it's a write

  5. What do you do...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to hungup's topic in General Nursing

    That's a rare site for the ED or any place in the hospital. Usually we get sent

  6. Written Up

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to medteleER's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have given both doses. We just had this exact situation with morphine for a pt. One of the other nurses asked me to cover her pt, there's an order for Morphine 2mg stat, and then for...

  7. Why working as an ED nurse so competitive?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ScaredRN's topic in Emergency

    ^ people leave from my ED to ICU all the time. Some want that ER/ICU experience for their NP

  8. Associates if I don't get into a BSN program?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to n0rse's topic in General Nursing

    it depends on how saturated your area is. When I was applying to nursing programs (both ADN and BSN) my area was flooded with applicants. I didn't get into most programs and the one ADN program I...

  9. New grad job offers....what do I choose?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to SoontobeNewGrad2019's topic in General Nursing

    go with your first choice! As a new grad I wanted to work ER, couldn't get in anywhere, settled for med surg and I hated it. The floor I worked on had a high turnover, majority of the other new grad...

  10. Safe staffing vent

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Swellz's topic in General Nursing

    yup, precisely why I hated floor nursing and went to the ED as soon as I could. Fix 'em and send 'em

  11. I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to PhyllisMSN's topic in General Nursing

    It's a broken system. While some of the fault falls on the nurses, I know people who work in LTC and at nursing facilities who say admin at those places are content with allowing a nurse to oversee...

  12. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt she'll actually end up in prison. She will lose her license, though. And to the person who thinks pharmacy has anything to do with this....*rolling my

  13. Resignition Timeline?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Dragonfly949697's topic in General Nursing

    Most places have policies in place that requires at least 3 weeks notice, so i'm not surprised there are institutions that require

  14. I'm Shocked

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe he didn't understand why the ER doc is heading to a floor code blue so it might've confused him in that moment? At both hospitals I work at, the ER MD's do not respond to floor codes. There's...

  15. What is happening with safe nursing..

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to butterball1980's topic in Emergency

    Congrats? Must be

  16. Extreme nurse burn out need help please

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like my old med surg floor where I would get 7 to 8 patients because of staffing issues. I would hang in there until the new job. At least you're getting out, so there is a light at the end...

  17. What is happening with safe nursing..

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to butterball1980's topic in Emergency

    Seriously? You think people have this kind of

  18. Working part time in nursing school

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Udmert's topic in General Nursing

    I worked full time, night shift, during nursing school. It's doable. Extremely difficult, mentally challenging, physically exhausting, but doable. There were days when I would get off of work,...

  19. Discharge Lounge

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to gaykurtz's topic in Emergency

    We have one, i hate it. I'd rather just DC them myself instead of making a phone call, giving a report, having the pt go to the designated place, have the discharge nurse call me because the pts...

  20. PTO

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to SidyJean's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I'm not understanding the dilemma here...I pretty much take PTO days every

  21. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    ^ she was careless and also not familiar with Versed. Even if she did get Versed and not the Vecuronium, she should've known that the patient getting Versed needs to be monitored. That's how the pt...

  22. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That's just simply not a realistic expectation for the ED. If the ED is short a nurse the ED needs an ED nurse to handle the patient load, not a "runner" floor nurse who would "help" an ED nurse...

  23. ED? or Med-Surg Experience?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to TLJax's topic in Emergency

    Some people are made for the ED and some aren't, if you feel you're up to the challenge, I say go for it. I was in your shoes, I never wanted to be MS but as a new grad I wasn't getting any open...

  24. Boomerang Coworkers

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Never been a boomeranger, once I leave, I don't come back. I've left only one hospital system and I thought long and hard before making my decision. The grass actually was greener on the other side,...

  25. Best shoes for 12 hours

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Karlie2114's topic in General Nursing

    Alegrias. Took me a while to get to them since everyone praises the Danskos (which I've tried and did not like) so I was like I'll stay away from the clogs. Tried the athletic shoes...none of them...
