    Daytonite has passed away...

    vamedic4 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    It is with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes that I read about Daytonite's passing. When I joined allnurses in '05 she was one of the first to welcome me here and help me make up my mind about a...

    slow code?

    vamedic4 replied to pbmnms2's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. Regardless of the nursing supervisor's opinion, you are the primary responsible party for this patient. Your charge nurse agreed with your assessment of the situation and...

    men in printed scrubs

    vamedic4 replied to TexanJLN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    There are males here who wear Spongebob and other forms of crazy print scrubs. It all depends on the person, really. I wouldn't wear the scrubs I see other guys wearing, but if they want to it's...

    Sorry guys, I haven't been frequenting allnurses as much as I used to and I can't find the thread that tells me what old NC exams correspond to the new exams. Can anyone send me a link? I appreciate...

    Need some advice about IV starts

    vamedic4 replied to CS#3's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    No worries, it will come with practice. There was a time when I couldn't hit water if I fell off a boat when it came to IVs. The more you do the better you'll get. Now, as to the question: I don't...

    vamedic4 replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    mindlor, It's admirable that you are thinking about a career in pediatrics. I have been an EMT for 22 years and a paramedic for 16 and I can tell you that working in pediatrics is, by far, the most...

    ADENOSINE ??

    Not to mention the fact that raising the arm can cause all kinds of chaos...Imagine having your only IV pulled out by someone in the process of raising that arm?! It's chaotic enough when situations...

    DFW area, Is this a fair pay for a RN with 4.5 yrs experience?

    vamedic4 replied to RNRebecca83's topic in Texas Nursing

    You are correct, it is quite low for an RN with your experience. Big Baylor, a level I trauma center, can and probably should pay more. You can most likely make more at another facility, I know you...

    I need advice on management's reaction to resignation/notice

    vamedic4 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    So good to hear the update, thanks!! Not being afraid to go to work is a great feeling, isn't it? You no longer need to worry yourself with your former employer, so don't lose any sleep over it....

    Can a nurse be an EMT??

    vamedic4 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    As usual, rn/writer is spot on. Keep looking for employment as an RN. If you wish to, you can take an EMT course but you can't usually "test out" simply because you're an RN. It will help you...

    Terminated because of my Attention Deficit Disorder

    vamedic4 replied to LPN&momof3's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear of your termination. It sounds, from your posts, however, that the organization you worked for probably wasn't the best "fit" for you anyway. You deserve better, and I'm sure...

    I need advice on management's reaction to resignation/notice

    vamedic4 replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear of your troubles, MagSulfate. There are better facilities out there, it may just take a little while to find the right one for you (and your friends). Do your homework, find somewhere...

    vamedic4 replied to lifeistweet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hopefully you're not serious with this post. Let's not judge someone who has zero regard for the laws and just does what she wants. Sure, people make mistakes. This is not a mistake, it's an...

    vamedic4 replied to lifeistweet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm with you MP5PDW...it's a wonder your friend still has a license Peace8. One DUI is irresponsible enough...having 3 confirms that something is most definitely wrong. Good for the courts for...

    Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    vamedic4 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    This is true, Miranda, and it echoes the lack of respect that those who make the schedules have for the employees who do the work. And there's zero accountability at times - yet another problem....

    Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    vamedic4 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Your letter is well written, Trauma. You might want to put in there, though, that management has a responsibility to notify you of changes to your schedule, and it should be done in a timely manner....
