  1. Lab test

    I seems to also have a moderate urinary effect when introduced through the lungs. But as you know when you get a bad respiratory distress pt, its an airway issue. We have been using it in this mixture, albuterol 1cc/solu-medrol 20mg/lasix 10mg/ 2ccNS...
  2. Army, navy, airforce, or hospital?

    There are several things to think about before you decide to join the military. You are definately going to see and do things that few others will ever understand. But what is expected of you will also be something that few others will ever understa...
  3. Lab test

    Lasix does have a mild vaso dialating effect. Which as you know lowers BP. We have just started using Lasix in the ER in nebs (with other meds) to help dialate the airway in our COPDers and Asthmatics. Seems to be helping. But I agree that in this se...
  4. Importing Foreign-trained nurses

    I have worked with many many foreign nurses and doctors. The Federal Gov. hires them by the boat load. I recently worked will a couple from Russia. Some are good and some are really bad. No matter what anyones says foreign nurses are hired because i...
  5. Since my strong suit is to be direct, I will say what surely many here are thinking. If I am the only one, oh well. I keep my own counsel. Brandy, I have a very strong feeling that once you graduate, then pass your NCLEX, and are able to use the le...
  6. A penny for your thoughts

    That was a good one guys I see it truly as simple economics at its basic form. The Greater the demand for skilled, caring, competent help the higher hospitals are going to pay. It will be agency nurses that force hospitals to pay those on staff mo...
  7. A penny for your thoughts

    Well I moonlight for an agency and the reason I do it is to make some money. I think any agency nurse that says she does it for the patients is just flat out lying. If that was their main concern they would not be working agency. They could be doing ...
  8. 80y/o men in tiger stripped thongs

    I saw several years ago a "Prince Albert" hung up in a girl's braces. It looked painful and was funny as hell. Sucked to be them:D Dave
  9. see-through white pants? Hate it!!!

    LOL. I like a nice smile Dave
  10. see-through white pants? Hate it!!!

    Most guys I know do not really care. We think on a much more primitive level;) Not to say we won't look though. But the actual topic solution is to do what you can and then you have done all you can. Just my opinion Dave
  11. Co-Workers, how friendly are ya'll

    Work really sucks sometimes, for every reason you can see here on this BB. But I wanted to start something that would maybe make someone smile at some of the wonderful people who share in our misery and make it better. Plus some of those people I wor...
  12. I know where I work about 1/2 of us are Very friendly. Always showing new tatoos, undies, piercings. Always making fun of each other and playing jokes on each other. Sometimes the stunts almost get out of control. But its fun. The other 1/2 of the st...
  13. see-through white pants? Hate it!!!

    Its a funny thing you mentioned that. I always wear cartoon or some strange type of boxers under my scrubs. Now its a "thing" to be asked to show what I have on today :-) I know where I work there is a group of us, about 1/2 the ER staff that are VER...
  14. Gender biasing by MD's

    Ok, let me be honest: When I end my statement with "Just my opinion". What I am really saying is "if you don't like it, too damn bad":) Just my opinion:D Dave
  15. What Is This??

    You hit on one of my sore points. I loath nurses like that. They make us all look bad. I know we have a nurse who has 19 years in federal service and she is an oxygen thief and she knows it and doesn't care. She's a GS - 12 (about $75,000yr). Can't ...
