  1. ER nurses a different 'type' than others?

    BecomingNursey replied to Madigan's topic in Emergency

    Yup. ER is it. The only type of nursing for me. It fits my personality perfectly. I freaking love it and can't see myself doing anything

  2. 1st year nursing, ER or MED-SURG

    BecomingNursey replied to Jamariam's topic in General Nursing

  3. First Job. Nervous.

    BecomingNursey replied to gemmi999's topic in Emergency

    That's the best part about the ER (to me anyhow). We are a team. A well oiled team, machine that when the tough times come we work together and get it done. Never, ever, ever and I mean NEVER be...

  4. Working in medical field while in nursing school??

    BecomingNursey replied to oliviaapNS's topic in General Students

    OP, do it. It really sounds like you're having a rough time in clinicals and such because you are lacking confidence! Jump on that PCT job and rock it. Walk into that patients room with your shoulders...

    BecomingNursey replied to 8*P23J's topic in General Nursing

  7. Wrongful Termination?

    BecomingNursey replied to MEANNRS's topic in General Nursing

    Either way it sounds like the situation just totally sucks. Sorry OP. Sometimes we have to make these mistakes in our practice so we don't ever make them again. I got a bad grade in clinical for...

  10. Resident fell, now I'm fired

    BecomingNursey replied to gonegirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's crazy. They make beds with side rails that don't have the bars and are solid where someone couldn't shove their head through and hang them self. I just don't get it. But then again, I don't...

  11. Resident fell, now I'm fired

    BecomingNursey replied to gonegirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  12. New RN, direct hire to ER?

    BecomingNursey replied to AudreyLynn's topic in Emergency

    It really just depends on where you're located and the specific facility you're looking at. Will you be doing a ER rotation in clinical at the hospital you want to work at? If so, STAND OUT! That's...

  16. How can I increase the morale on my unit?

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

  17. How can I increase the morale on my unit?

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

    That's some awesome advice! Thanks so much! I know it will be hard for me to make a difference being as I'm still "one of the Indians" and not a "chief" lol. They are actually considering training me...

  18. How can I increase the morale on my unit?

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

    I love the team work in my unit. I don't care if two nurses don't get along well. In the end if a critical patient rolls brought that door, we pull together and work it. Here's an example. Just a few...

    BecomingNursey replied to courtney2224's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  21. Quit during orientation

    BecomingNursey replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I take serious offense to the statement that; "Theres only 1 thing most nurses want, its control, so it makes the nurses lives much easier." That's bull crap. Most nurses want to help their patients....

  22. Reasons patients turn on their call light

    BecomingNursey replied to diamondp17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It drives me INSANE when the patient walks up to the desk at triage with Cheetos in one hand and a gulp cup in the other and their complaint is n/v/d and they just haven't been able to keep anything...

  23. What nursing specialty interests you the most for the future?

    BecomingNursey replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    BecomingNursey replied to nicenurse819's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
