  1. I want to quit nursing.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I too lived in the South for several years while in the military- I agree, when someone was called a peach it was in a derogatory

  2. I want to quit nursing.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    That is the issue with responses- you can't be sure what context people are using nor their tone/reflection. I took it as OP being defensive. I haven't typically heard someone referred to as a...

  3. Supporting family member with severe depression?

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

    At some point you need you live your life. This person can possibly benefit from an inpatient psych stat for an extended period of time where she can be better observed and helped. Having this much...

  4. I want to quit nursing.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Your theory is flawed- you obviously aren't connecting with the people you work with, at not one, but two

  5. I want to quit nursing.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Bc there were lots of other comments- she went right for the most truthful that did not paint her in a positive light- her post is

  6. What to expect once you get into Nursing?

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

    Just looking around and reading threads here can answer your questions really

  7. I want to quit nursing.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    So now you will resort to being rude to others bc they told you the truth? I'm not sure what world you are living in, but here in reality, especially nursing, can one better themselves without...

  8. Neonatal Internships in Atlanta, GA

    ED Nurse, RN replied to sallen11's topic in General Nursing

    You can't do an internship, as far as I know, in nursing without being in nursing school and having reached a certain level in your schooling- a lot of places offer externships, after you complete...

  9. I want to quit nursing.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect OP will not respond- she isn't getting the responses she wanted, and now we, who refuse to coddle OP, are going to also be part of the problem. Excuses are

  10. Changing professions after age 50

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

    I'm confused by your continued use of liability in every post- how is this/that a

  11. Inexperienced NP

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

    Couldnt agree more- I don't understand why these type of programs exist. How can one be an advanced practice nurse with no practical or actual bedside nursing experience? That is not a provider I...

  12. I want to quit nursing.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Nomad_Nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I too agree with this. You seem young and inexperienced. Like another poster said, your generation seems to have different ideals when it comes to working. You can't just start a job, be new, and...

  13. How Soon is to Soon?

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

    The grass isn't always

  14. surrending your license voluntarily?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to newsue1's topic in General Nursing

    You can either find the money for a lawyer now, that will save your license, or you can not do anything, lose your job, and then have no way to support your kids. If you are innocent like you say,...

  15. LVN to RN 30 Unit option in CA??

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Joeyzoom208's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You can't sit for RN licensure without graduating from an ACCREDITED program. You can find a list of these programs on the state BON

  16. ACLS next week

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

    I'm an ACLS instructor, actually training site faculty. I do NOT treat people differently depending on where they work. ACLS needs to be taught the same across the board and you need to understand...

  17. Just earned my RN but I can't work for another year due to deployment. Advice?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to ichiro12's topic in General Nursing

    No, I haven't been in a similar situation- I was a nurse in the

  18. Just earned my RN but I can't work for another year due to deployment. Advice?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to ichiro12's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on where you deploy to- go check out the hospital and see if you can hang out or volunteer- we were always grateful to have volunteers. Plus it's a great way to get to meet others from a...

  19. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are obviously missing my point, so I'm just going to leave it at

  20. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse should have not given nitro, but did bc she could not critically think through why it wasn't previously given- most nurses, who have a pt with CP who did not receive nitro, is going to stop...

  21. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    It is not ED vs floor- but that's the situation that was given. Even if a verbal report had been given, the receiving nurse obviously did not know the appropriate questions to ask- she gave nitro,...

  22. Medication Error: I feel stupid

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in General Nursing

    I find this interesting- the pt didn't have gastroenteritis- like you said, she was having narcotic withdrawal and those are some nasty sxs, to include GI issues. Why, if the pt is withdrawing and...

  23. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    So it's the ED nurses fault that the floor nurse didn't know what a medication was and further investigate the medication? Why don't we hold the floor nurse accountable for not critically thinking...

  24. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a large level 1 trauma center- this process has worked for us. But it's also about how changes are implemented and how quickly issues are identified and can be corrected, to make these...

  25. Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The ED gets none of this typically when a pt is brought in by EMS. This situation, of a pt coding, had this actually happened to you, or are you just speculating? We can speculate all day. Bottom...
