  1. ICU and Bed baths?

    nights...great time to do a skin assessment.
  2. Once you go ICU, you never go back.....

    Well, then thank goodness this is adult ICU.
  3. Hypothetical Question re: prn meds

    PCA's aren't appropriate for EVERY pain pt, IMO. I don't see a prob with the order...we get those ALL the time. Just use good judgement and you'll be fine.
  4. Hypothetical Question re: prn meds

    You're making this too hard. Why not just give the next 2mg at 1830 and call it even? I have one question though....how come it took an entire hour to assess that the IV med wasn't effective enough? You should be able to get that info in the first 1...
  5. Breastfeeding

    When the child can unbutton your blouse by himself, he's too old to breastfeed.
  6. Seeking OB/GYN opinion...

    Problem with the ovaries? I'd definately have them checked/ultrasound. The hormones from dysfunctional ovaries could be what is causing the symptoms....and the positive pregnancy test. 'What do the test results mean? Because the placenta produces HC...
  7. Help - I got savaged by the tangle Fairy

    :rotfl: How about the Thieving Pen Gnome.....never can find that darn pen when I really need it.
  8. Anyone attend Penn Valley in KCMO???

    Yep, graduated from Penn Valley in May 2001. I felt very prepared when I started my first job out of school. As I have proven, you can go into ANY area of nursing after graduation. :) What exactly do you want to know? Anne:D
  9. Kansas City area anyone?

    http://www.mudirect.missouri.edu/degrees/rn-bsn.htm Here's the MU-direct RN-BSN website. I'll be starting this summer w/N180.
  10. Kansas City area anyone?

    bizzle, it's my understanding that HCA is the only unionized system....it's also my understanding that it hasn't done much good for the conditions anyway. Truman Medical Center also has hiring bonuses and, because it's a state hospital, you can qual...
  11. Egads!!!

    Found out yesterday that the Organic Chem class I was in (Chem 205) was not the correct one to take....too low a level for CRNA program. OK, that's cool....dropped the sucker like a hot tater. Not worth risking my GPA if it's not even something I n...
  12. Kansas City area anyone?

    ....as usual, people down south forget that life exists north of the river. The Kansas City, MO northland is growing in leaps and bounds. I'm located close to KCI airport (5 min away) and it's amazing how much growth has happened over the past 10 y...
  13. Kansas City area anyone?

    ....and you didn't PM me??? Liberty Hospital is Level II and is located just north of KC. (Have to throw this one in cause this is my home.)...and I'd love working with you. http://www.libertyhospital.org/ The pay here is very competitive. Don'...
  14. Once you go ICU, you never go back.....

    Mmmmmm. Let me put this as delicately as possible.....they can't talk back! These pts are sedated (with propofol/diprovan) and are totally helpless. They do require more care than most...i.e tube suctioning, turns, paperwork for restraints, etc....
  15. Once you go ICU, you never go back.....

    :rotfl: JMP....that signature of yours is soooo true.
