    thenightnurse456 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    thenightnurse456 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    My tips as an ICU nurse who has worked in CVICU: Ask all the "stupid" questions you can think of during your preceptorship. Rather ask now then when your patient is crashing. Customise a killer brain...

    thenightnurse456 replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    thenightnurse456 replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    Mercy was terrible. As was Hawthorne. Nurse Jackie isn't even about nursing. E.R was the most accurate portrayal of nurses on TV in my opinion... They actually did things and were shown to be...

    thenightnurse456 replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    thenightnurse456 replied to regerterb's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm assuming you're from Oz. yay! You'll soon realise that Drs often lash out at nurses when they know they potentially made the wrong call. I believe they teach that in med school 😉. Seeing...
