Generally those are the big ones some also want TNCC (trauma) and ENPC (Peds emergency course) then things such as CEN and CCRN as you get more experience I want to get both CEN and CCRN I just need more experience first

Thank you everyone who responded. Everyone seems to have pretty much the same concensus

Thanks for the references I had a felling I knew how most people would feel on this topic thanks everyone

I don't think that you would be stuck in a level 2 trauma center. Not that a level 2 is a bad place to be. I work at a level 2 and there is very little we have to ship out I think that if you have a good background you should be ok with the transitio...

I've been in the medical field for more than 6 years in EMS and never felt anywhere near the levels of stress that I do now as a new RN. I feel like I don't chart properly and forget things like getting a 2nd rn initial on a blood bank tube. I don't ...

Thanks thevez that's a good idea maybe if I just get out what I'm getting nervous about by writing it out on paper or something that might help I'm learning what to pay more attention to during my shifts as well. Sometimes the whole nights a blur and...

Thank you I'm a guy though lol I still appreciate what you said

As a new ER nurse I am still trying to learn as much as I can and am curious how patients that I treat in the ER progress through their stay. As someone who took care of a patient can I look at how they are progressing or is this against HIPAA?

I need help or advice I'm planning on putting in my two weeks tomorrow and have never done it before. I don't know how to go about it. I'm extremely nervous.

I'm thinking about going for my nurse practitioner but having trouble deciding which route to take if really like to end up in the er or icu which would be the best certification to get?

I started out as a nurse intern and am now an rn that has been working on a tele floor for about 3 months and I don't really think it's for me. Plus the drive is really starting to get to me it ads about 2 and a half hours onto my day there are place...

I know how you feel I fall on the new side of nursing there have been days where I have been in tears about leaving to go to work. I've had to pull off on the side of the ride because I was crying so hard. I was a paramedic which I loved before I was...

I was just wondering how many areas in nursing you guys and girls have worked till you found the place you love right now I'm thinking where I'm at isn't where I'm going to stay I really want er or icu but am on a step down unit now

Anyone have any tips on controlling nerves the past few nights have been horrible and I've had to fight back years more than once. If I just bear down a knock out the work in front of me I do ok but still have point where I want to tear up. I just gr...

hope that helps

ok so you showed me your work here is mine lets see if I can do this in the post box the concentration of NS is 154 mEq/L times 0.25 for 1/4 concentration that gives you 38.5 mEq/L 1ml x 38.5 mEq/L x 1L x 500ml 4 mEq 1L ...

My other question is if you have the answers what did you use to get them?

you need to change the numbers they are giving you so everything is the same L to mL and that sort of stuff I would post the work but don't know if id get in trouble
