    L♡vER replied to Islaleigh's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Next time take it! Ask charge if they perhaps could help settle the patient and walk you through what you don't know. That way you will have backup while you are getting a quick hands on in what you...

    L♡vER replied to CTnewgrad826's topic in General Nursing

  8. Getting report during change of shift

    L♡vER replied to CTnewgrad826's topic in General Nursing

    I think the entire issue revolves around unsafe staffing on all sides. When you staff a bare minimum and for everyone to be maxed out from the get go, what is the contingency plan for when the sh*t...

    L♡vER replied to CTnewgrad826's topic in General Nursing

  11. Do you need med surge for the first 2 years?

    L♡vER replied to Samt9's topic in Nursing Career

    Nope. But it is a nice, broad overview of patient care, the inner workings of a hospital, and generally getting your basic foundation of nursing and time

  12. What is your ER like.....need advice?

    L♡vER replied to Theocbean's topic in Emergency

    The goal is 1:4 here, but it's not uncommon to run with 5 sometimes 6. We are boarding tons of patients lately too (season in Florida) so you may have an ICU, 2 teles, then 3 ER patients to rotate in...

  18. Do you carry around your stethoscope?

    L♡vER replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    I had to reread the op. Yes, I admit to a practice that is not *textbook* but by what you are doing, or not doing, you are really dumbing down the role of RNs. Anyone can follow a doctors order, if...

    L♡vER replied to albyRN805's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Be open minded. You really can learn something from everyone. Ask questions. Don't let the culture of a unit stop you from doing what's right. If you have no idea what's going on, don't let your...

    L♡vER replied to DBK99's topic in Medical-Surgical

  23. Nurse patient ratio?!??

    L♡vER replied to carolinaRN80's topic in Nursing Career

    L♡vER replied to xSoCaLRNx's topic in Emergency
