2. I want you to help me, but you will do it my way.....

   KungFuFtr replied to Daisy Doodle's topic in Emergency

   Actually, coverage works pretty well. Novolog/Humulog is dosed based on a sliding scale and carb counting. It's slightly different than the old school NPH/R insulins in which you get insulin spikes. As long as your A1C's, lipids and cholesterol are i...

   When I was in nursing school, we were taught to massage the site of IM injections. However, during my last semester in school, massaging and ventrogluteal injections were taken out of the newest Nursing Fundamentals book.

5. Accreditation and interview (any recruiter's input?)

   KungFuFtr posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've searched other posts on accreditation; however, none fit my situation. I've been an RN for almost 2 years. I applied and have an interview in the near future. I re-read the job description and I more than meet the expectations for the job. Unfor...

6. CHICAGO VS. TEXAS

   KungFuFtr replied to LJUN71's topic in Texas

   A big difference between Chicago and Texas is the driving/traffic. In Austin the traffic is crazy. San Antonio is pretty sweet with a massive freeway (just stay off it from 430-6pm). I can't attest to the other Texas cities. One major difference is t...

   KungFuFtr replied to BlondieRN2's topic in Texas

   these are some pretty judgmental and bold assertions. in order to make these assumptions you would have to know every person's pay rate, performance, experience and reasons for staying or leaving in all departments and locations. just because a hospi...

   We had a pt the other day with abd pain. The pt was given Bentyl with no relief. The new Dr. in our department spoke of injecting Atropine in a 1000 mL bag of ns and letting it run wide open. It wasn't my pt and I didn't give the treatment, so I don'...

11. Resume Depth

    KungFuFtr posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello I'm writing my resume and I'd like your opinion. I've been an ER nurse for a little over a year and an ER tech for about 7 months prior to being a nurse. This adds up to just under 2 years working in an ER. Since I'm applying to another ER as a...

13. I have a hunch about a patient and I cannot prove it!

    KungFuFtr replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for clearing this up. I had a hunch about one of my neighbors too. It's an awesome coincidence that you happened to read/post here and that you have 5 members in your family who happen to be in law enforcement; especially in the D.E.A and or ...

14. Should I not include this in a resume?

    KungFuFtr posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a book on cover letters and resumes. There is a section that states : " On a personal note, I am single and currently renting my home. Therefore, relocation can be immediate." This would be accurate for me because I'm able to move on short n...
