  1. Is three months into being an ED Nurse too soon for Resus bay?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Emuhawk000's topic in Emergency

    What did your orientation consist of? You are not a novice nurse so you should be able to handle a critical pt- like a STEMI, intubation, cardiac arrest, etc. You should not be doing traumas- my...

  2. Starting with an associate's degree?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Dgardella's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It certainty is the case for 2020- a deadline rapidly approaching. This ain't your first rodeo? I don't even know what that means nor is it applicable to the current discussion at hand. Good for...

  3. Starting with an associate's degree?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Dgardella's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My hospital is currently up for its fourth magnet designation- the 80% is for nurses if the hospital wants to continue being magnet designated past 1/1/2020. This is be taken very seriously in the...

  4. BSN Student w/ a Million Q's.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Lisi_95's topic in Government, Military

    Agree with all, except the CCATT teams are an RT, critical care nurse, and a critical care physician- like ER, not a flight surgeon. Most flight surgeons in the AF do not have the critical care...

  5. Starting with an associate's degree?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Dgardella's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If your ultimate goal is to be a CRNA then I would go into a BSN program, don't waste time. Any magnet affiliated hospital, which is a good majority, are required to have 80% of their staff as BSN...

  6. Do you go to work with parabens on you?

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

  9. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but taking someone seriously that purposely deceives people and tries to cheat while in a recovery program, is not even possible. You are really in no position to judge

  10. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    Really not sure how you can judge a nurse based on personal opinions- I could easily say the same about your judgement and reference it to your lack of nursing

  12. Nursing is a passion?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Another nurse believing or not believing that nursing is a passion holds no bearing over my own personal beliefs. As long as each nurse does what is expected of them competently, what is the

  13. How many days do you work in a row?

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

    You'd only be working 4 more hours a week than nurses who work three 12hr shifts a week- that's not going to burn you

  14. Unhappy Speech Pathologist

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

    If I had a quarter for every time a patient or their family refused a reasonable task and then became belligerent, well, let's just say I would not need nursing to support my family any

  15. How many days do you work in a row?

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

    Most people work five 8hr shifts a week, that is a typical M-F schedule for the working masses, and they only have two days off a week. I guess I am confused with your

  16. Unhappy Speech Pathologist

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

    Where did any nurse say we consider ourselves uneducated and not important? Basing a very large and costly career change should not be made bc you've had good experiences when treated by

  17. Unhappy Speech Pathologist

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

    Are we only supposed to comment if we agree you should switch to nursing? Obviously the vast majority are telling you to stick it out awhile longer since you are a novice. If you don't want opinions...

  18. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    You can work with me SBE/ however, I love nights/evenings. I would rather work with her than someone who has less than desirable integrity and ethics- that is how one becomes involved in recovery...

  19. Must we "pay our dues" by working night shift?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

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

    So confused, how is this

  21. Unhappy Speech Pathologist

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

    You've only been in your career for a year and I'm sure have debt from your undergrad and graduate degrees- why add additional debt for something you more than likely will not enjoy. Instead of...

  22. Nursing school! Do you think i have a chance ?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Eliza2336's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's dependent upon the type of school you are applying to. We can't tell you what school will do this or that, or what they are looking for in the students they accept. Each school weighs things...

  23. Changing professions after age 50

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

    I haven't violated the TOS, like you just did. And btw, many nurses with BSN's work at the bedside- obviously you don't have a grasp on actual nursing practice. 90% of the nurses I work with are BSN...

  24. Critical Care Nursing vs Emergency Nurse

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Cannary22's topic in Critical Care

    I've been an ER nurse for almost 8 yrs, took me several months to feel more confident. I love the random nature of the ED- in one room I'll have a 5 day old infant with a fever getting a septic work...
