  1. Giving Digoxin with an Amiodarone drip and HR of 48

    Well here were my thoughts: I came from a hospital (about two months ago) where giving dig in this circumstances would have been unthinkable (against hospital policy). The hospital (small town) where I now work simply doesn't have a policy on this. ...
  2. I had a client a few nights back who had been transferred to our PCU after going into tachycardia in the 150's. (not sure what type of tach, but I'm pretty sure it was a narrow complex). The person was elderly, anemic and had lung Ca with mets to th...
  3. Could "pitch in clubs" be one way to fight Hawais' high cost of living?

    Going back to the AA example from school what impressed/amazed me was that there seemed to ALWAYS be a meeting somewhere! The way I envisioned this working you would join the organization and then you could attend ANY of the get togethers so long as...
  4. Would this budget work on Oahu?

    Thanks for the input. I had pretty much resigned myself to Oahu for several reasons. First, I felt it was the only island which offered a reasonable chance at a job. Second, although like the rest of Hawaii although it is expensive they at LEAST do ...
  5. Would this budget work on Oahu?

    My significant other does her most expensive shopping at Wallmart and usually the clothes that we purchase come from the DAV thrift store (about half the price of Good Will). I do believe that the visit idea is a must, but again I'm looking at a fiv...
  6. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    If I earn an income which facilitates doing so I will repay the loans. However, I'm going to remain in school however long it takes to earn a BSN and then NP degree of some sort. I do not feel that obeying current rules to minimize my payments is def...
  7. New rn desperate for advice!!!! =(

    Well take this advice for what it is worth from someone who takes pride in being viewed as an over the top "psycho": Here's what I would do: 1. Monitor www.indeed.com daily. Use the advanced search feature to list only jobs posted in the last several...
  8. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Thanks for the input. Keep in mind that my goal is a FIVE year one. Not even I am so foolish as to think that I have a good chance of finding employment without having five plus years of experience a more advanced degree, a better job market and ever...
  9. Which areas in Florida are the best of the worst for finding jobs?

    My significant other has had her license for about a month while I've only had mine for a few weeks. I'm getting calls back on most of the applications that file, but my followup working nights has been less than ideal. We had hoped to MOVE on a trav...
  10. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    As a free market liberatrarian I believe that money/perks are great motivators! When I used to wait tables no doubt money was my primary goal however I gave 110% to each and every one of my customers (I used to sometimes annoy my co-workers, parents...
  11. Nursing Resource Centers COULD these exist some day?

    The power of Allnurses to organize and inspire such a vast compendium of nursing thought, practice, news, and opinion along with the awesome existing example of the YMCA is actually what inspired this vision. What if there were place(s) where this t...
  12. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    I would argue that I would simply prefer to stay in school and take classes and continue to improve my educational base if I can do so at price that is less expensive than paying the loans directly. I would argue that it's no more a matter of taking...
  13. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    She is a pretty "matter of fact" person and doesn't care to participate in online activities especially discussion boards. She loves to socialize, but vastly prefers face to face interaction. Our son is homeschooled so changing schools isn't an iss...
  14. I pay about $60.00 per month to the YMCA and really love the place. I can go there and swim, lift weights, take various free (and not free) classes ranging from karate and yoga to aerobics and fencing lessons. One can participate in various/numerous ...
  15. Understanding of course that like most of the rest of the country that jobs are hard to come by in Florida WHERE in the state has the most opportunities? We hope to move to Florida by mid to late Oct. My significant other has about 5 years as a card...
