1. A question about Adenosine

   auntsas82 replied to Aerin's topic in Emergency

   I think what they are referring to is the adenosine protocol for alot of hospitals. You give 6 mg first, if that doesnt convert (put the patient back into a sinus or atleast slow their rate ) then you would proceed with more adenosine.

   I have given adenosine 18mg at once bam...a few times. Usually with the cardiologist at bedside, and he knows what the pt requires to convert. Its not common, but have done it.

7. mandatory OT?!?

   auntsas82 replied to auntsas82's topic in Travel

   Thanks for your input. Yes, the contract was ended over it. Lesson learned...I have never seen anything like that before. I heard nothing of it before 3:30 am my first weekend shift there. The agency knew of it, i am sure. I wasnt the only medstaff t...

8. Convince Me About MedStaff...

   auntsas82 replied to wahine_kine's topic in Travel

   Completely agree with you. Although with any company it needs to be in writing..I dont trust any agency. Medstaff has been dishonest with me through and through on the current assignment. This is the only assignment I have ever walked on... They woul...

9. MED STAFF

   auntsas82 replied to HD-RN's topic in Travel

   Just to clarify a previous post I made: I did end up taking a contract with Medstaff and this is the first contract I have ever walked on. Terrible to put it kindly. The agency has not been helpful in the least bit, everytime I want to speak with my ...

    auntsas82 replied to raindrop's topic in Travel

    Intersting. I am looking at a contract in Farmington Ct for 31/hour. I am living in IL and I can make that as a staff nurse. I guess part of it is the economy....they can get away with these poor pay rates. Knowing anything about Farmington? I have ...

    auntsas82 replied to plove's topic in Travel

    Well I think there is alot of "fishyness" in what travel companies tell you right now. The agency that called me was core medical group. I have never worked for them, but certainly wasnt impressed with the recruiter and his information on what the co...
