    EmergencyRN22 replied to level1's topic in Emergency

  2. I need help. =(

    EmergencyRN22 replied to MissyERnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Kinda off topic, but I'm surprised they placed you in a free standing ER. Usually they reserve those so strong experienced nurses because lack of support staff. The nurses are responsible for vent...

  3. Nursing Specialties with a Slower Pace and Less Patient/Family Interaction

    EmergencyRN22 replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    Try outpatient surgery/same day surgery. When I was a new graduate, I worked in prep/pacu for sometime. It was very routine and slow - I eventually became bored of the mundane work. I wanted...

  4. CNA as a career

    EmergencyRN22 replied to unbrokenx3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    iME, people generally work as a CNA while going to school for a different career, nursing being the most popular. Those lifers generally have many physical problems early in their lives (40's) because...

  5. CNA training at private college: my certificate being withheld

    EmergencyRN22 replied to chicsurfs's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm confused about your post. That Vegas comment was probably like HIPAA info. Never heard art of a private CNA college ...isn't it like an 8 week

  7. Would you send this patient to the unit?

    EmergencyRN22 replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Other things like infection and meds can cause acute kidney injury, not just

  8. Would you send this patient to the unit?

    EmergencyRN22 replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Personally, I'd ask the dr to reorder the blood work and send down a new sample. If she was a&ox3 with normal vitals. I'd almost question the original blood work. I *know* people who draw off ems...

    EmergencyRN22 replied to RN_Pink's topic in General Nursing

    So happy we don't have anything like that in the ER

  11. Would you send this patient to the unit?

    EmergencyRN22 replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well, just my experience. Our ER docs don't assign consults to admitted pts, that's left up to the admitting doc to who they prefer. Just because the pt arrived at 1700- doesn't mean they are...

  12. Problems with ER

    EmergencyRN22 replied to ReggieN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Few years back, I was giving report on a cp pt that's now asymptomatic to a floor nurse. The pt original Bp was like 220/140 then an hour after nitro paste - down to 185/100. The floor nurse flipped...

  13. Just a Nurse

    EmergencyRN22 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    When pts ask about their radiology results, I always joke that "when I make radiologists pay, I'll do their work too". Then I let inform them the dr will be in to update them. i guess " just a nurse"...

  14. social media problem

    EmergencyRN22 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why can't adults act like adults?! Its mind blowing when people get their panties in a twist just because someone else has a different opinion. Id block that person in every way possible. Quite toxic...

    EmergencyRN22 replied to ReggieN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Please refer to the 22nd post to this thread ... Think page 2 for my opinion/response.

  16. AWD vehicle for nurses

    EmergencyRN22 replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing wrong with dreaming. Pretty sure when I was a youngin, I had already designed my "forever home and stable" ...even knew where every window and light socket would be. I had the colors And...

  17. AWD vehicle for nurses

    EmergencyRN22 replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Nursing

    I have a 2015 Mazda CX5 - sporty, fast, cross over, good gas mileage, AWD and handles the "snow belt" well. All for roughly 25k new stocked well ...ie navigation. Seriously, check they out. People...

  18. do you drink coffee during your shift?

    EmergencyRN22 replied to aname's topic in General Nursing

    Love the smell of coffee but dispite mass amounts of flavoring, sugar, and cream - can't stomach it. Im a diet pop junky. As long as you have a pulse and are breathing - the awaiting squad or...

  19. Pateint education activity for DIC

    EmergencyRN22 replied to chelseaandnoah's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you for bringing this topic up. I don't think I've had a pt with The diagnosis of DIC in the ED. I know the general info about it such as its a complication from a from a primary condition...

  20. Fed-up: Admin will not even meet with me so I can withdrawal. A warning to others.

    EmergencyRN22 replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

  22. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    EmergencyRN22 replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There are good NP'S and bad ones. Just like there are good Dr's and bad ones. Gotta think, they "all" weren't top of their class. Your doc could have been an average or "barely passed" too. Just like...

  23. Nurses forced to work as aides

    EmergencyRN22 replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The op leaves a bad taste in my mouth. According to her old posts, she may have MAYBE 4 months of working experience and expects to apply for another job come June. Perhaps in school nursing per her...

  24. Way too many NP programs and grads!

    EmergencyRN22 replied to momofm1998's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's up to the prospective student to find a quality program. Even those nps from "lousy" schools may not even pass boards. Unfortunately, healthcare is a business. If there are ways to reduce salary...

  25. Patient with Dementia's Right to Refusal

    EmergencyRN22 replied to oblivionenigma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I give great respect to those who care for patients with advanced dementia. Ideally, I only deal with such patients for a few hours. If we provide meds, usually they are IV/IM. In the ER, when we...
