    MassED posted a topic in Emergency

    Any coordinator/charge nurses out there at a level 1 who has advice for the role? Anything you'd wish you had been told when you started in the role that you figured out on your own? I'm most...

    Do women find male nurses attractive?

    MassED replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I did not write "don't get bent over gender stereotypes." Let's not distort what is actually written. And how are my questions "gross?" I suppose the thing about writing is that one may perceive...

    Do women find male nurses attractive?

    MassED replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I can see your point, but people can feel free to post whatever they want. Everyone has their journey and however they choose to share about it should be allowed, just as we female nurses can post...

    Do women find male nurses attractive?

    MassED replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    sorry, you have a beard and you're "100% female?" Just clarifying your statement. Do you "identify" as female or are you born female? Like it or not, we DO live in a world of gender stereotypes....

    Do women find male nurses attractive?

    MassED replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    well what about society and the role of the "sexy nurse?" Have you seen the Halloween costumes related to this? That has been a stereootype forever.... so whether one likes it or not, that is...

    Need the real truth. Are all EDs like this?

    MassED replied to JR81's topic in Emergency

    seems to always be the same, no matter which ER you work. Sorry. Though every day is different and a teaching hospital has some more resources, but otherwise same-o,

    Eaten Alive in the ED

    MassED replied to MillennialNurse's topic in Emergency

    Millennial, as unfortunate as it sounds to work there, this too shall pass. There are tons of bullies in nursing and sometimes you just have to call them out, or ignore them. It's like Kindergarten....

    Charges at Level 1's

    MassED replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    Sorry, I just signed back onto Allnurses and have been off enjoying the summer. No, I haven't been charge elsewhere. I start as Coordinator soon - we are designated Coordinators. We will work with...

    MSN while part time faculty?

    MassED posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi all, Now that I found your specialty, figured I might gain more information from you all. Working as a part-time clinical faculty, how many of you were also in an MSN program AND working full-time...

    Bad situation and mad coworker? What could I have done?

    MassED replied to missind33's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Some coworkers are just jerks. You do the best you can, but it is a 24/7 operation and sometimes your messy pt becomes the next nurses messy pt. We hand off. We may not like it, but we hand off...

    Afternoon everyone, So I am looking for advice, feedback, on working charge in your ER, working part-time faculty (hoping only 1 day a week) and also starting an MSN program. Albeit that will be one...

    Decisions...

    MassED replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    So decided not to do part time faculty, as my management team didn't seem too keen on taking on more tasks at this time. It's unfortunate, but I also figured they want me to be at their Beck and...

    Struggling

    MassED replied to russianbear's topic in Emergency

    A big help would be to talk, assess all while you start that IV, draw labs, hook up to the monitor. Gather information when it's convenient, make wise use of your time when you are in the room....

    Do you have an emergency nursing book? Trauma book? I have one I got from Amazon years ago, critical care pocket reference, something like that. It gives you a bit of everything. Keep that in your...

    New ER nurse.. Any tips?

    MassED replied to emergencynursy's topic in Emergency

    Good luck, hope you have a good long orientation. I don't work in an ER that has new grads. Look for every opportunity to learn, with other nurses, techs, docs. Just listen and learn, keep...

    Succeeding but feel kind of alone

    MassED replied to Scrubs_n_sirens's topic in Emergency

    I find the better you do in nursing, many women can't be happy for you. I would just do your job and gloss over your achievements, remain humble, they all know what you've

    ICU RN considering moving to ER

    MassED replied to DesertSky's topic in Emergency

    don't get ticked off at interruptions, because that is all that we work with day in and day out. Interruptions from a call light, give meds in that room first, no, give meds in that room before the...

    ICU RN considering moving to ER

    MassED replied to DesertSky's topic in Emergency

    you'll be fine. You'll get plenty of time to work on your IV skills. You will learn the ropes of an ER. You already know what a sick person looks like, so the rest is gravy. You'll learn the...

    Nurse and MD relationships in the ED

    MassED replied to amzyRN's topic in Emergency

    I think it honestly depends if you work in a teaching facility or not. I have worked in 3 ER's and the last being a level 1, teaching facility. Dealing with residents in their stages of development,...

    Nurses smoking weed?

    MassED replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Mentioning polypharmacy, I watched this excellent Chris Bell documentary "Prescription Thugs" on the Pharmaceutical industry (He has two, one was on Steroid use in sports "Bigger, Stronger, Faster")....
