    BecomingNursey replied to NursePelican's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. What's the strangest phone conversation you've ever had at work?

    BecomingNursey replied to Brekka's topic in Nursing Humor

    A phone that they supply us with at work that the patients can dial us directly. We have to put our extensions on the dry erase boards in each room at the beginning of our

  7. ER or Trauma Nurse

    BecomingNursey replied to chicagoboy's topic in Emergency

    We all take care of trauma patients. You have to have been an ER nurse for a year in my facility before they will allow you to be primary on a Trauma patient. Other than that, it's whoever is floating...

  8. What's the strangest phone conversation you've ever had at work?

    BecomingNursey replied to Brekka's topic in Nursing Humor

  9. Nurses don't know the lab

    BecomingNursey replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

    In my personal experience at work, we have some really awesome lab techs. Ones that do their work to where I don't even have to call the lab to ask why the labs haven't been started yet. Then there...

    BecomingNursey replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand that the tech wanted to get them to scan also. She walked in as I was taping the IV down. I was done and had the bed ready to be unlocked and the patient ready to go (besides the hair...

  11. New Grad in ER (Time Management and Prioritization)

    BecomingNursey replied to gemmi999's topic in Emergency

    To answer you're question, there's not really anything you can do to not be overwhelmed. It happens to all of us. Young, old, experienced, and new. That's the ER. You're going to have the days where...

  12. What to do when you fear going to work?

    BecomingNursey replied to ChronicSG's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a new nurse? During my first 6-8 months of nursing, I also was scared. I felt like the huge responsibility of being responsible for someone's life was way too much for me. Like if I missed...

  13. Developing a thick skin

    BecomingNursey replied to canche's topic in Emergency

    It gets better. It still stings right now because you're still new, everything is shiny, you like looking for the good in people. I'm the same way. I'm very naive and like to think the best of people...

  14. All Men Shift

    BecomingNursey replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    OP's post was a bit offensive to women. I didn't appreciate being placed in such a light that all I would do during a code is scream for atropine and complain about the mess. I'm very calm, cool and...

  15. Why is everyone hating on ED?

    BecomingNursey replied to canche's topic in Emergency

    Totally understand where you're coming from. That's just the life of an ER nurse. It's the way it is. The floor and CCU talk bad about us and we do the same about them. It's not right. But it's the...

  16. Why is everyone hating on ED?

    BecomingNursey replied to canche's topic in Emergency

    Allllll the time. I don't mind helping and I'll admit when I'm wrong, but dang. Normally, I don't have any problems when sending a patient to the floor. I try to get everything that I can possibly...

    BecomingNursey replied to bellavita20's topic in General Students

    I worked two 16 hour shifts back to back every Saturday and Sunday through nursing school. I had class/clinicals 5 days per week. It sucked. But I made it and I'm now an RN. Where there's a will...

  20. Why did you want to be a nurse?

    BecomingNursey replied to cantgowrongwithjwong's topic in General Nursing

    It's what I've always wanted to do. As a young girl I knew i wanted to be a nurse. I love my job and couldn't see myself doing anything

  21. If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    BecomingNursey replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    Ever since I was little, I knew I wanted to be a nurse. I love nursing so much and can't believe that I finally am a nurse and doing what I love. I would absolutely, positively do it all over

    BecomingNursey replied to wojoRN's topic in Emergency

    Diabetics who come into the ER, get back to a treatment room and say; "I'm a diabetic and haven't eaten all day. I need you to get me some crackers and juice." I'm sorry. No. I'll check your sugar to...

  23. ER, PEDS or JAIL...hardest decision in my life!

    BecomingNursey replied to Ashleyhunleyrn's topic in General Nursing

    ER is awesome!!!! :) lol Do they have a separate PEDS ER? If not, you'll still get to work with kids in the ED. I see kids on a daily basis in the ER I work

  25. To ER or not to ER?

    BecomingNursey replied to Nevada_RN's topic in Emergency

    You can do it! ER is a totally different environment but just been willing to learn and remember your A.B.C.'s. If you're not already, is definitely recommend getting ACLS and PALS
