    MassED replied to luvmyhubbybunches's topic in General Nursing

    MassED replied to ErRnDiva's topic in General Nursing

    if you're new, or even if you weren't, you will get a packet/hefty orientation into ED nursing. Once you experience a few shifts w/ your preceptor, write down your questions when they come up and ask...

    MassED replied to mamaxmaria's topic in General Nursing

    LEGAL? No, but your facility may REQUIRE their RN's that they hire to have their BSN, otherwise they can choose not to hire them. I think with Magnet, you have to have a certain percentage of RN's...

    I agree. One who is aggressive can "sense" out those that are passive and may also be vulnerable. Psychiatric patients are like heat-seeking missiles with nurses who are passive, scared, or...
