  1. recent colonoscopy experience

    While I certainly can't advise you, I can share my own experiences. The use of propofol has been heavily discussed in this thread already, you would probably get a lot of good info reading the entire thread. However, I have had both, and I think I di...
  2. Mommies and daddys in the trauma room.

    Yes, I was speaking of emergent and life threateneing situations and codes. Major traumas. I am trying to compare how I might react as a mother vs. how I might react to a parent as a nurse. As a nurse, it is easy to say you know how a parent feels if...

  7. Trauma nurses, some ?????

    Thanks Larry. I like to think that in a trauma, I would be thinking about my job too, and not about how some kid is dying while their mother is screaming. I guess it is fear of the unknown. I remember my first experience, a SIDS baby. He was 6 month...
  8. Trauma nurses, some ?????

    Hello everyone, newbie here. I posted an intro. I plan to go into trauma nursing, I feel passionately about it. But I am very anxious about how to handle the tragedy. I have known nurses who say "you get used to it", but just what does that mean? I d...
