How many of you are Nurses?

Of course you want to learn as much as you can to build a large knowledge base, however the NCLEX is seen as daunting to some. It causes anxiety and may even discourage prospective nurses if they don't pass the first time. Most of what you need to know to be a nurse will be taught and learned on the job when precepting with other experienced nurses anyway. The statement was more of an encouragement to get through nursing school.

 

Cardiac ICU at a level one. Fun times

 

First shift back to work since 5/8. Had a busy 9 days off with a new baby at home. ER was nothing less than a Shit show for the first half of my midnight shift.

 

I love ER
Guy smucked himself with a 3.5# sledge working on his car.

 

Looks like a party!

 

To all the nurses out there, thank you for your service.

 

Just finished my first semester of a BSN program. 4 more to go!

 

Duct tape will hold it up

 

honestly that's about what happened...... splinted, Norco, and he'll have to see orthopedics tomorrow. That break is going to require surgery probably.

 

My 3rd gen and my shift partner's @Tucks91 2nd gen. Smartest nurses in the facility

Me and @rileySB a couple days ago. Now we're holding down the ER tonight.

 

My hospital made top 20 critical access for the 2nd year in a row pretty cool

 

This is what a 0400 am drunken dirt bike ride will get ya around here. The guy also has a left tib-fib fracture.

 

Whelp, who knew how much psych nursing i'd do as an ER nurse....good ol EMTALA

 

Just finished my mental health class in nursing school and I did my clinical at a South Carolina state institution and pretty much all those patients came from the ER in some capacity. Gotta love the "community safety net" aka making the ED deal with stuff nobody else wants to lol

 

Sucks, I don't drunk ride anymore for reasons lol

 

Yup! except in my county, there's one facility with like 20 beds.....that means we have to house people in the ER until we find a place for them.....

 

I'm really leaning towards the ED trauma route . Which I know for what ever reason closes a lot of doors for me. The USAF seems to think ICU nurses are God's Nd er nurses are disorganized scum. Not sure why

 

It's probably true...All I care is that the patient is alive when they leave my department! Skin? I didn't look at the skin, who cares if the wires are tangled! That being said, go to CT with a patient on the monitor and one drip going, things get tangled up. I can't imagine when the unit goes with 50,000 drips and lines. In the ER, it's more like...bone broke, fix bone.

 

I like that a lot better lol.
