   Breathe through your mouth.

2. Why is PGE contraindicated in PPHN?

   offlabel replied to taylordawn's topic in NICU

   Just spit balling here...prolly has to do with the potential of PDA in kids with PHTN. Keeping the ductus open with PGE will just increase aortic flow to the PA and make the PHTN worse? Although this paper would contradict your question ...

3. Foley Catheter Use After Kidney Transplant

   offlabel replied to Wanderlust1987's topic in Urology

   One catheter per night and enough for 2 straight caths/day. Renal transplant may have nothing at all to do with it. A new catheter every night is prolly because of the risk of UTI because of immunosuppression meds.

4. Kansas Board Investigation

   AFAF....what would have happened if you just quietly left the state for somewhere you were licensed in and hoped for the best (assuming you were confidently unaware of any actual malpractice issues)? I'd be less concerned with the state BON than CMS/...

9. Advice needed regarding diabetic student

   offlabel replied to Tali56's topic in School

   Why the angst about staff being aware of a life threatening medical diagnosis? That's a form of body shaming and has no place in schools. There is no shame in having diabetes or any medical condition and keeping that a secret results in the very prob...

10. 69 Medications Every New ER Nurse Must Master!

    offlabel replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in Emergency

    It's on the ER formulary primarily to reverse procedural sedation with Versed (that's midazolam for anyone unfamiliar with brands) if necessary. Use in an overdose would be pretty rare.

11. I am really thinking this is not the right job for me - Am I Crazy?

    offlabel replied to Birdsofprey's topic in Emergency

    These places are launch pads for ambitious people that want to train hard. Doing the CC and trauma sides in an ER like this is for the core, established and proven staff that have the appropriate certs and experience. Besides, a significant number of...
