  1. "Do you have paid clinical work experience?"

    emergency_love replied to emergency_love's topic in General Nursing

    This is on the application specifically for new graduate RN's with an expected graduation in May/June. It is understood no one applying is actually licensed

  2. "Do you have paid clinical work experience?"

    emergency_love replied to emergency_love's topic in General Nursing

    There is a box immediately below for explanation of the work experience. I'm assuming I should put "yes" and then explain I'm an NA II in an emergency department. NA II's in our ED perform a wider...

  3. Nurses working as CNAs

    emergency_love replied to nolanurse88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think she means that, "CNA work" aka cleaning up poop, bed baths, accuchecks, etc. all things CNA's perform, ARE part of nursing tasks and is not "below" you as an RN. It's like a physician saying,...

  4. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    emergency_love replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I have nothing to add to the conversation really but my sympathies, Capp. We lost 4 students last semester because of unrestricted clinical instructors, 3 of the 4 were male and of those three, I...

  5. Pulse heard over RUQ & LUQ?

    emergency_love replied to here_we_stand's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a student... I've never heard a pulse in in the UQs but I would be thinking about a possible aortic aneurysm. Is this

  6. What's the worst you've done on an exam?

    emergency_love replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    I think it was a 72 during a med-surg exam. I was super bummed, but didn't study as much as I should have so I knew why I got the grade. I studied super hard and rocked out the next exam. I'm in my...

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

    emergency_love replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    So I've read through a lot of this thread since starting in an inner city ER this past September. I've seen a LOT of stupid crap roll through the door, but yesterday has to take the cake. A woman...

  8. ED Tech here - Tips for being the most helpful to nurses?

    emergency_love posted a topic in Emergency

    Hey y'all! I know the title makes me sound like I'm some altruistic crusade to be Greatest Tech Ever, haha, but I'm actually an NA II in the ED, graduating nursing school in May. I would like to...

  9. ED Tech here - Tips for being the most helpful to nurses?

    emergency_love replied to emergency_love's topic in Emergency

    We have a similar computer system, although with the orders for labs/urine etc. we usually rely on the paper chart to tell us and computer chart when it is complete. I usually stand in front of where...

  10. ED Tech here - Tips for being the most helpful to nurses?

    emergency_love replied to emergency_love's topic in Emergency

    Are you for real? I ask the nurses that so much each shift, I feel as if I'm being annoying like a waiter or waitress that checks on a table too often. Our nurse manager is sort of fierce about having...

  11. If a person codes at Walmart..

    emergency_love replied to Vtachy1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm just a student, so I might be misunderstanding this completely. If a person coded in front of me in Wal-Mart, I would immediately have someone call 911 while I began CPR. Getting sued for this...

  12. ED Tech here - Tips for being the most helpful to nurses?

    emergency_love replied to emergency_love's topic in Emergency

    Thank you so much for taking the time out to make this list! It was very helpful. Just out of curiosity, is it helpful for me to say to an RN, "Hey, I updated the vitals on all your rooms, and got...

  13. What are your pet peeves?

    emergency_love replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

    This is an Emergency Department, not an Emergency Denny's. You're the one who came in at 0400 for minor abd pain. Don't ***** at me for two hours about how hungry you are, then when you can eat you...
