  1. Floor to ED transition

    BecomingNursey replied to guest901464's topic in Emergency

    I wasn't being rude or demeaning of floor nurses in any way. I totally and completely respect floor nurses and couldn't imagine doing what you do. But it is two totally different ways of thinking....

    BecomingNursey replied to irishlynn5's topic in General Nursing

    You have to also take the "Prevention of medical errors" course online. You can find it at the CEBrokers website. The class was like $10 or $15 dollars all online. My endorsement was from Alabama,...

  11. Quit during orientation

    BecomingNursey replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    And to clarify, I do not think that just because you are a nurse you don't need to do CNA duties. I do them myself every day and don't mind. My job is to do what the patient needs, regardless of...

  12. Quit during orientation

    BecomingNursey replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    It's sounding like you're already one of those people who thinks they are above CNA duties and you're not a nurse yet? While you're at work, the patient does come first. Not you. There are safe ways...

  15. A Beast in the Night

    BecomingNursey replied to TheBlackDogWaits's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I totally and completely understand how you're feeling. I don't work oncology. I work ER but completely understand what you're going through. A few weeks ago we were getting our butts handed to us in...

  16. Diluting IV meds

    BecomingNursey replied to wanderlustnurse88's topic in Patient Medications

    You can't be 100% sure that your dosage is correct when you mix it and give it like that. The proper way to do it is draw up what you need and mix it with NS (if compatible) and waste the rest of the...
