    Am I thinking this through properly? New grad ICU/ED

    OldDude replied to TammyTho's topic in Emergency

    I know several people who have transferred from the ED to the ICU but I can't recall any that have done the reverse; I'm sure there are some out there. It's my opinion that working in the ED,...

    OldDude replied to T-ROD's topic in School

    OldDude replied to NurseC1986's topic in Pediatric

    I've never had much luck with influencing parenting "styles" other than make them mad when I tell them not to refer to medicine as "candy" to convince the kid to take it. Or, as you say, using the...

    Universal Deathcare.

    OldDude replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Now THIS is a true statement. I've seen it explicitly on display in Home Health. First, it's my opinion, patients are dumped out of the hospital way too soon; especially on Friday. Second, the number...
