   aehart replied to jenfromjersey's topic in Emergency

   5 mg IV Vasotec PRN SBP >160. They don't even give that much at once on monitored units. ::Shakes head::

2. Columbus Ohio=no new grad rn jobs

   aehart replied to leaBSN's topic in Ohio

   I know that Mercy Medical and Aultman in Canton are hiring new grads. I know its about two hours from Columbus, but it's not a bad place to live and the hospitals are decent. Then you have Akron that has three major hospital systems right there (thou...

3. What's your story? Why did you take up nursing?

   aehart replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   Pff...I don't even know. Haha. Wanted to be a singer, artist, doctor, teacher, geneticist, novelist, journalist, FBI agent, spy, anthropologist, crime scene investigator, interior designer, handbag designer, boutique owner, bookstore owner, coffee sh...

4. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

   aehart replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

   I am pretty sure I didn't say I demanded it. I'm just saying my job there is not to bend over backwards to make a group of nurses who do not want me there, happy. I'm sorry you don't get paid more, but that isn't my fault either. I just don't think i...

5. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

   aehart replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

   I did not say I wouldn't do them. I do not mind, but please do not give me problems if they do not get done. I am not here only for bathing patients. I am here to learn how to be an RN which involves a lot more than bathing, changing, and obtaining v...

6. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

   aehart replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

   It really bothers me, as a student, that there seems to be a mass opinion that all nursing students don't care, don't want to be there, and don't want to learn. I work my tush off and really don't appreciate the generalization. I don't judge all nurs...

7. Experienced nurses: What do student nurses do that drives you nuts?

   aehart replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a student nurse (May 2011 cannot come soon enough!) and I work as a tech on a busy floor so I see both sides of the spectrum. I think its annoying when students: -DON'T do what they're supposed to do (if you tell me you're getting vitals, then do...

8. Patient Safety Dilemma

   aehart posted a topic in Safety

   First off I want to set up the scenario I have been working with lately (sorry it's so long and involved): I work as a student nursing technician on a very busy med-surg/trauma/neuro/stroke unit. Recently, we have been severely understaffed due to ot...

9. Kent State-main (Junior) in BSN Program seeking job

   aehart replied to twinjeep97's topic in Ohio

   I know this was earlier in the year, but I thought I would respond in case someone was still looking for an answer. I work at Akron City as a tech and I know that they haven't hired any new techs since around last December to March. At least, not on ...

11. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    aehart replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a tech on a very busy Neuroscience and Trauma Med-Surg unit. A nurse was demonstrating to another tech how to start an IV. She pointed to the antecubital area and said, "Feel here. It's just like a rubber band, bouncing all around." The tec...

12. What's the weirdest baby name?

    aehart replied to teresab_2000's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm naming my children Lemonjello and Orangello, just so it's finally true. =P

13. How do I become a critical care nurse?

    aehart replied to mark1973's topic in Critical

    I know this topic kind of died down, but I just wanted to throw my two cents out there. I live and work in NE Ohio. I'm a tech in a Level 1 Trauma center. A lot of new grads that I know get hired into the ICU's around here Some hospitals I have heard...

    You've been hit on by more guys with TBIs than without.

15. Faulted by aides who want help with incontinence care

    aehart replied to Calliehoo's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is important for everyone to help with incontinence care....from aides to RNs. Of course it gets busy....for everyone, but that doesn't mean anyone should be exempt from helping out. Maybe you could round on the incontinent patients before...
