ER Nurses Treated Different in my Hospital!
as of leaving my shift tonight in a level 1 trauma, when the trucks would not stop coming through the door, there was a pt who has been down there for 42 hrs., that was 2.5 hr ago when i left. we dont sit on pts. and we dont go on diversion. thats a mythical word where i work. iused to speak Spanish fluently. but theni had no one to talk to and i lost the skill. u cant expect a nurse who experiences a code once every year to be able to run it flawless. use it it lose it. how many chemo drugs did u learn about in nursing school? do u know them now? ease up some.

We need a Nursing TV show
ok conspiracery theory. its all the gov'ts fault. all of the media is biased. nursing isnt sexy, being a MD is. the gov't has nothing to to do with the nursing shortage. the cost of medical care is not the fault of the gov't. it is a deeper issue. dont be so short-sighted
