About chenoaspirit

chenoaspirit is a ASN, RN and specializes in Med/Surg, Home Health.


I love making a difference in people's lives, but nursing is not what I had initially thought it was going to be. I am married and have a beautiful daughter and 2 special stepdaughters. I also have a son in Heaven.

    A nurse in ICU here gave 150 units of insulin SubQ. This patient was on an insulin drip so I have no clue why she would give any insulin subq, let alone 150 units. When you have to draw up more than one syringe, thats reason to question yourself. ...
  5. Pros and Cons

  6. Can someone explain this mess to me?? sorry so long

  8. I use up all of my compassion at work.

    My husband and I were just talking about this the other day. He wasnt feeling well, I wasnt as considerate as he felt I should have been. We began talking and we realized that beginning after about the second year of nursing, I began to change. If...
  9. Well, I NEVER type on here in "text-style". But I got slammed for saying "ya know", which to me was a bit too far. Now, Im finished with this thread and on to the important ones. If someone doesnt like how I type, then skip over it, plain and simp...
  10. However I do agree that we all need to type so that we all can understand, but if everyone is gonna (going to) slam every little typo, lack of comma, etc, then this place will not be very pleasant. It WAS nice to come on here and relax, not worry if...
  11. Thank you. I had no clue.
  12. Ok, what is "BB". If you want to get technical, then why are YOU using shortcuts? I seriously do NOT know what 'bb" is.... yes I said "ya know", geez. If Im gonna get slammed for every little typo or shortcut on here, then I will just not come on her...
  13. I agree, but whew, it feels good to be on here and not worry about "killing someone". ya know?
