  1. 3 weeks sick leave 8 weeks in

    ED Nurse, RN replied to StripeyDog's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know in my department you cannot return to work with any limitations. Since you were out so long I could see why the supervisor is concerned and possibly skeptical- they are responsible for running...

  2. Military nurse

    ED Nurse, RN replied to michaelaellie's topic in Government, Military

    I was an Air Force nurse for six years- I went into the Air Force as a brand new nurse. Out of 300 applicants only 68 of us brand new nurses were accepted. I was at the top of my class. If you go...

  3. First Incident Report

    ED Nurse, RN replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    I never said the value to not need to be treated, however a K of 2.4 in the ER is not emergent. My point to all of this is that the OP needs to speak to her fellow nurse about the issues- you are...

  4. First Incident Report

    ED Nurse, RN replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    And btw, I am FAR from cavalier. I just know how to prioritize and get things done and have never once received a write up for ANYTHING. I provide excellent, expert, and precise care for everyone of...

  5. First Incident Report

    ED Nurse, RN replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a critical care nurse? A potassium of 2.4 is something I see in the ER on a daily basis- depending upon the cause, most are sent home after PO potassium has been given. In 8 years of nursing...

  6. First Incident Report

    ED Nurse, RN replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to have to agree with Annie- you sound like a new RN. I don't see anything you can write a true incident report for. If you are speaking of a write up then I wouldn't do that either. If...

  7. Brand new to this

    ED Nurse, RN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Again- you seem to not think you have a problem- you stole controlled substances for personal use. I'm not trying to make you feel bad but you have a problem and need to admit it- not be less than...

  8. Feeling deflated

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Nicki711's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I doubt very much that you failed at 75 questions- I passed at 75 as did everyone else I know who answered just 75. Relax,

  9. BSN does NOT open the door for better opportunies

    ED Nurse, RN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unfortunately you have to do things you don't what to do to get where you wish- maybe rent an apartment in town to get the experience you need. Like pp said, with just a degree and not the necessary...

  10. Calling in sick, boss harassing me.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to swweetipie's topic in General Nursing

    Many employers have policy stating the employee must speak with them, not family members. My previous hospital wouldn't even speak to a personal physician that would call on behalf of the

  11. Brand new to this

    ED Nurse, RN replied to StillRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think it is time for you to just face the truth- that is how you start on the recovery path. While reading your post you never admitted to being an addicted and taking drugs. I think you need to...

  12. Interested in cardiac nursing

    ED Nurse, RN replied to anzeelina's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Also, what do you mean by cardiac hospital? Most hospitals have different levels of cardiac care. How did you "try in

  13. Interested in cardiac nursing

    ED Nurse, RN replied to anzeelina's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    We need some more information to help- are you an RN? What experience do you have? In order to get a certification you need experience to past the

  14. Pinning ceremony in a few days - When and how to start job search?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to EP10's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    When you apply to a hospital as a new grad there are generally specific listings that you need to apply to- for example it will say extern, residency. If you aren't sure contact the nurse recruiter...

  15. BSN does NOT open the door for better opportunies

    ED Nurse, RN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't think having a college degree, especially a BSN, are a waste of time. Unfortunately it you cannot obtain employment you may want to look closer at your resume, experience, and

  16. UPenn MSN 2016

    ED Nurse, RN replied to PMH:awesome's topic in School, College Programs

    Nope!

  17. Calling in sick, boss harassing me.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to swweetipie's topic in General Nursing

    I would tread lightly here- what is your hospitals policy regarding these situations? They are going to probably pursue this with you bc it is a holiday week and people use fraudulent excuses to get...

  18. Overseas civilian D.O.D. nurses question?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to DRZmaui's topic in Government, Military

    GWOT= global war on terror that employs most civilians in MTFs. This contract allowed the budget for civilian nurses to be hired in military facilities, MTFs. Since we are no longer in an active...

  19. Air force or Army Nursing

    ED Nurse, RN replied to lalalily09's topic in Government, Military

    I applied to the Air Force my junior year in a BSN program- good thing I did bc it took that long to be accepted. Go speak with a recruiter who will send you to a specialized health professions...

  20. Overseas civilian D.O.D. nurses question?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to DRZmaui's topic in Government, Military

    I was active duty Air Force- most of these contracts are going away due to the loss of need for civilians to fill positions that were left by military nurses due to war- we are technically no longer...

  21. My preceptor is everything they taught us NOT to be...

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Live..&..Learn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would not, at this time, speak to the nurse manager about changing policy or how they do things. Unfortunately I think it is the OP's attitude that has her in hot water and further instigating that...

  22. UPenn MSN 2016

    ED Nurse, RN replied to PMH:awesome's topic in School, College Programs

    I emailed the director of the acute care np program bc she has emailed me previously- I asked when we could expect a

  23. 2016 UPenn BSN/MSN Applicants

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Bell427's topic in School, College Programs

    I just emailed the director of the acute care np program who emailed me previously- I asked when we could expect to hear a

  24. Anatomy and Physiology grades this semester.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to .Olive.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm my opinion, A&P is the class that defines who will advance in nursing school and who will not. It is the class that sets the example of how you will need to study and prepare to succeed in...

  25. Urgent dental needs

    ED Nurse, RN replied to middleagednurse's topic in Emergency

    We have dental residents at my hospital so typically we can call them- but most hospitals don't do that. If it is a large access then they will treat, but anything less than that they will possibly...
