    New residents in the ER (wee rant)

    MassED replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    Wow, that is hilarious! Atropine rather than Ativan. Haa! I would imagine she was embarrassed! This doctor is a THIRD (and final!) year! The other residents LOVE this person, by the way. They...

    long winter of ER nights

    MassED replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    really? How appropriate you should post this and that I should come across this... interesting times afoot where I work in regards to unionizing. .... hmmm yeah, crazy impossible standards. We talk...

    The "Flirt"

    MassED replied to exit96's topic in Men in Nursing

    I know this is an old post, but wanted to point out that being female and working with predominantly females, I find that women really flirt and hound men around us at work. I was in the military,...

    long winter of ER nights

    MassED replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    for some reason, I didn't know there were responses to this post. I must have to change my settings. The coworker mislabeled some blood, which is a huge issue, obviously. Apparently this person had...

    Will I ever get accustomed to death?

    MassED replied to rse3's topic in Emergency

    I had a hard time when I was new to the ER, had been there less than a year and had a 3 year old drowning. The hardest thing, bar none, in my life I have ever had to witness. Collateral damage is...

    Confused. Dont want to burn bridges.

    MassED replied to mommynurse25's topic in Emergency

    That is a tough choice. Nice that you have those choices, though. If you are in the ER, and let's face it, ER staff are pretty tough on who gets in, so good for you for being there. Do you love it?...

    Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

    MassED replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So you are done with nursing school or are you still in school? That makes a difference on how you make your point. If you are not yet working, then once you start to work, you will realize it is...

    Difference between night and day nurses

    MassED replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I researched so much about night shift before I started to work nights. I do think a night shifter has to make a conscious effort to find sun and to really carve out time for yourself. In the...

    Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

    MassED replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With all due respect, I disagree. It is not a "dime a dozen profession." There is quite a high standard to get in and get through nursing school. Where I went to school, we started with over 30 and...

    Aren't You just Incredibly Proud?

    MassED replied to Carpediem1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MassED replied to ERRNDeans's topic in School

    I haven't read the other posts yet. I am going to sub as a school nurse in my district. I am a full-time ER nurse for now, night shift, and don't plan on leaving any time soon. I think if I can get...

    Difference between night and day nurses

    MassED replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock
