1. What's the shortest length of stay for uroseptic pt?

   Ghetto Supersta replied to Ghetto Supersta's topic in General Nursing

   That's what I wanted to know. I had a paraplegic come in with urosepsis. BP was inconsistent, but map was around 60. Temp 102. His urine was the color of cranberry juice, slightly cloudy. I slammed in some fluids, some antibiotics, and stabilized him...

3. Retrograde v. Antegrade Amnesia

   Ghetto Supersta replied to versatile_kat's topic in CRNA

   (It's been a while since I've seen the movie, so please bare with me if my recall of facts is a bit fuzzy.) The reason I said Mulholland Drive was one of my top 3 is because of the way it was done. Unlike other movies that are linear with a definite ...

4. Retrograde v. Antegrade Amnesia

   Ghetto Supersta replied to versatile_kat's topic in CRNA

   If you'd like to see Anterograde amnesia, watch the movie Memento. Wonderful movie, probably one of my all-time top 3's. If you'd like retrograde amnesia, check out Mulholland Drive, another of my all-time top 3's.

5. Pt is septic, so let's dc all IVF

   Ghetto Supersta posted a topic in General Nursing

   SBP starts decreases from 110 to around 98, and urine output decreases from around 50 down to 25, but the resident and even the attending don't want to start IVF. What are these people thinking????

6. How to dress for interview?

   Ghetto Supersta replied to Maximus's topic in CRNA

   I suggest a purple pleather suit, complete with leopard skin pimp hat, and your posse of 20 women in tight leather dancing to "Hammer Time." Don't forget to flash fake gold watch and the letters "RN" in bling-bling on the front two teeth. That really...

7. about pre-reqs

   Ghetto Supersta replied to B.T.H's topic in CRNA

   This is exactly why I do not understand why GPA is so heavily emphasized. I see how a lot of people are manipulating their GPA, going to the easier CC, making the "easy" grades, whereas others like me unknowingly went to the university and got creame...

   R.N.s in anesthesia are advised that studies completed over the past several years have indicated that personnel exposed chronically to waste anesthetic gases may be at increased risk of having an adverse reproductive outcome. Source: Understanding A...

9. New Grad Pay!!

   Ghetto Supersta replied to crp2000's topic in General Nursing

   This is what happens when you keep your salary hush-hush. Salary should be kept in the open, and if you find out you're behind, tell management. if they don't fix it, leave! Nurses shouldn't have to take this. People need us, not the other way around...

10. New Grad Pay!!

    Ghetto Supersta replied to crp2000's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I hear nothing but good things about NICU at taub. Everyone that works there says they love it; that says a whole lot about the unit. The most I get about SICU is a shrug, and MICU sounds like slave labor! as for the assistants, we've got a sa...

    Ghetto Supersta replied to Ghetto Supersta's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there, I noticed you worked methodist, and was wondering what you thought of that hospital, working conditions, co-workers, worker morale, etc?

    Ghetto Supersta replied to Ghetto Supersta's topic in General Nursing

    I think our unit has maybe a 5% ccrn rate, if that! out of maybe some 24 rn's on our unit, maybe about 10 of them are bsn. (i'm guessing here, but these guesstimates sound right) here's what i studied: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/08...

    Oh yeah, and I goofed the last month of my 6 mth study. I gotta admit, I was sweating balls while I took the test. I thought I was gonna fail. Good thing I took the test fast and reviewed my answers the last two hours. I got 142 right. *sigh of relie...

14. Thinking about moving to Houston, Tx! Any advice on where to work?

    Ghetto Supersta replied to ucandoit's topic in General Nursing

    What area are you interested in? If you want kids, I'd say go to Texas Childrens. If you want cardiac, I'd say go to St Lukes. If you want trauma, you can go to Herman-Memorial; this hospital is also a nice general hospital to work at since it deals ...
