   Which nurse is easier to train in med surg?

   Wuzzie replied to Iluvnightshift's topic in Nursing

   Well, my reply would have been entirely different, at least part of it.

   Wuzzie replied to Iluvnightshift's topic in Nursing

   Or she could have been a rock star HH nurse who is more up to date on EBP than your hospital. Entirely depends on the person. Also HH is not for the faint of heart or mind. Unlike med-surg nurses, they take care of complicated patients with absolutely no back up. You might need to re-frame your opinion of them as it does not come across well.

    Working Less Than 8-Hour Shifts?

    Wuzzie replied to ChristopherGllardoJr.'s topic in Nursing

    I'm seriously not trying to tinkle in your Wheaties but I think a reality check is in order. You want day shift, set days, 6 hour shifts, 6 days a week (with a place to shower) and I just don't think you're going to find this unicorn in nursing. I mean, you might, but most places are just not going to yield to this very specific set of demands.

    Student Nurse Internship in Emergency

    Wuzzie replied to teesspace's topic in Nursing

    I precepted many students in the ED. They did everything that I did (unless it required certification like US placed PIVs). You can expect to do it all, from cleaning patients up to assisting with intubations and doing chest compressions. Be prepared though...ED nurses are pretty no-nonsense so the hand-holding will be minimal. It will be terrifying at first but trust that your preceptor will not let you sink so just get in there and do stuff. You are going to have a blast.
