9 years of ED experience and you still get anxiety? Oh man I guess it never goes away @.@

Thanks guys. I decided to stick it out in the ED for at least a year and try to pay off my student loans asap. Then hopefully I can transfer within the hospital to their same day surgery. I am working perdiem at the surgery center í ½í¸Š

Ok long story short. I have been working in a busy city hospital ED for 5months going on to 6 months now. I hate the ED it is not for me, I work nights BUT the pay and benefits are amazing!! I got a offer to work at a outpatient ASC, normal day hrs...

BTW I do want to mention I been a nurse for almost 2 years now with the ED being my only hospital experience

Did pdn as a new grad. I work in a busy ER now and I hate it. It's way too stressful and the patient load is insane. I never get to spend time and talk to my patients. I miss pdn. I liked the family I worked with and I miss them and the stress level ...

Still looking for another job. Feel so overwhelmed at my current job /:

4months into working in the ER and I want to quit. The ER I work in is so busy. I miss the patient care. I miss talking to people. Our ratios can go up to 7:1. I'm stressed. I'm exhausted and since it's winter time the ER is especially busy. I don't ...

I had a patient the other night with an aortic dissection. Looks like the procedure is to put the pt on both nicardapine and esmolol at the same time. Esmolol to mostly bring down the heart rate but will also bring down the bp and nicardapine to brin...

I'm still a new nurse 1 yr previous experience before my start in the ED. I was working pacu in a surgery center. The ER was a whole new ball game. Been out of orientation a month now and trust me it does get better. I too have the same pt load 6-7pt...

Making 85k/yr 2nd yr as a nurse. NJ. If I did overtime probably could reach 100k. I work in the ER. Don't want to do overtime. To stressed and starting to feel burnt out. Thinking of taking pay cut 65k/yr for clinic desk job. Closer to the house bet...

Thank you for this. I will remember it for next time.

Target bp was systolic of 100-120.

BTW nicardapine terrifies me because of how efficient it works ! Which is why I was not comfortable staring them together with her initial bp systolic in the 150s

Thank you sadiem, honestly the only thing keeping me here is the pay. I really like your idea of the ben Franklin cross the only positive I see is the pay honestly. I guess my coworkers at night are also helpful but when the morning shift comes givin...

Just curious how much does it pay. Thinking of getting away from bedside.

I say if you are absolutely miserable then start looking for a new job. I work in a er now and have been for 4 months now and I absolutely hate it. I dread going to work. I'm applying to new jobs. Why should I be miserable in a job I hate if I know I...

So I have decided to look for new jobs. It is not worth it to me to be this miserable/exhausted all the time. I hate going to work and I can not live this way.

I muse wait 6 months before the possibility of transfer Lol funny you say that because I was looking at insurance jobs hahahhaha

I must wait 6 months before the possibility of transfer/: Lol funny you say that because I was looking at insurance jobs hahahhaha

I wanted to work in the ED because I was craving the knowledge and critical care skills. I always admired those nurses that knew so much and I felt I could get that experience and knowledge in the ED. During orientation it was the same. Constantly bu...

This is a good idea it's just I'm still fairly new to the ED and don't know a lot.

I know what you mean /: we just have to hang in there. My first year of nursing i was working in an ambulatory surgery center and I loved it !! I felt like I wanted to learn more, hence the er job. My friend always tells me if it doesn't challenge yo...

I am about to enter my last week of orientation in the ED (about a 10 week orientation). I work nights and my preceptor during the day pretty much left me on my own to do things for myself and I would ask them questions when I needed help. my prior e...

Everytime I go to work my heart is pounding out of my chest. Thanks you for your advice and support (:
