  10. New nurse overutilizing ED tech

    Seeing Myself Out replied to thepitbull's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  14. My very first squad call

    Seeing Myself Out replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

  15. Are O2 sats a vital sign?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to roxhannah's topic in General Nursing

    O2 Sat was one of the most important vital signs when I was at the PACU for my LVN preceptorship. But of course there are other tools such as end tidal capnography, ABG, and CMP. But at end of the day...

  16. If you could give one piece of advice back when you were a new grad RN, what would it be?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Mursthetics's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get stuck in non-bedside specialties like psych if you aren't completely sure about wanting to do it for your whole life and not regretting it. Get a year of med-surg or similar experience then...

  17. I think I'm gonna quit nursing

    Seeing Myself Out replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

  18. Med error . I’m devastated

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Stephen ww's topic in General Nursing

    Seeing Myself Out replied to EDNURSE20's topic in General Nursing

    Do you rely on your job for benefits? If not I suggest getting a per diem job and quit your current job once you get the hang of it. Sometimes flexibility is much better than being married to a job...

  22. What's up with this RN?

    Seeing Myself Out replied to Guest219794's topic in General Nursing

  23. Medication error

    Seeing Myself Out replied to red426's topic in General Nursing
