  1. U of Indy Women's Health

    I am in the FNP program at UIndy (will graduate next May.) The WHNP/CNM program coordinator, Barb Winningham, is amaaaaaaaaaaazing. One of my friends is in the WHNP track and graduating this spring. I'm not sure about job opportunities. I'm consideri...
  2. Mag sulphate with preeclampsia

    I was on mag for preterm labor and was taken off of it after a week because I gained 10 lbs of fluid. I was on it again a couple weeks later after my c section (breech twins), this time for preeclampsia, and blew up like a balloon...which was also p...
  3. Question re: NP and clinical experiences...

    I am in a brick and mortar program. Our clinicals are arranged for us. The preceptors are not faculty, but are approved by faculty. I believe we can also find our own if we have something specific in mind, but the site and preceptor must be approved.
  4. I am feeling like an idiot. Please explain this to me

    A serum level > 150 ug/ml at 4 hours post ingestion is toxic - don't forget that the time the blood was drawn is everything in determining toxicity. A serum level of 10 ug/ml could be toxic, depending on the time of ingestion and the time the lev...
  5. Tell me if this is the norm in your er!

    When I left ER, they were going to just NS irrigation for lacs - for the tissue damage reason you said, and also because the mechanical act/pressure wash effect of a good irrigation was found to be what really cleaned the wound, not the actual agent ...
  6. Drug addicts and sugar

    So he really did have a broken bone! Now I am craving an orange julius...
  7. Drug addicts and sugar

    This thread is actually pretty interesting. With my background, withdrawal treatment is pretty much banana bags and benzos, benzos, benzos. (Well, for EtOH withdrawal or benzo withdrawal, anyway.)
  8. Drug addicts and sugar

    How about Pop Tarts? I could go for some of those right now, and I'm not even withdrawing from anything.
  9. Drug addicts and sugar

    And sweaty/slippery hands. Although, if that were the case, he would need to be fed as well. And I imagine he was able to feed himself just fine.
  10. Drug addicts and sugar

    I agree with the previous posters, and also wonder whether his hands were broken.
  11. success of clomid use

    You're welcome. A good website (discussion board format) is http://www.thebump.com Lots of different baby boards, including a Trouble Trying to Conceive Board. To get to that specific board, click on "boards" in the brown banner at the top of the hom...
  12. Low motility sperm

    If that person has not already, they should see a urologist who specializes in male infertility.
  13. success of clomid use

    I'd say there are too many variables for here. That person should see a reproductive endocrinologist for a workup and then go from there.
  14. Risk of infection

    I'd choose MRSA since there's a vaccine for Hep B and a way to verify immunity to it. Plus you'd typically get it from a needlestick or bood exposure, and you can get MRSA from anywhere.
  15. Familynurse Practioner Or Nursing Informatics

    Do you have any gut feeling about whether you want to stay hands on/treating patients vs. not? That helped me make my decision...in an NP program now.
