    Nurses still count nars???? Our med system is all computer generated so if you request one percocet, then one pops out under your password, easy to see who got what and at what time and for whom. I use to hate those end of shift counts. There was ...
  2. How do you measure temperatures?

  3. Taking the ACLS. Some advice please.

    The last time I took ACLS it was pure torture. I had tendonitis of my wrist from shoveling 2 feet of snow. The guy doing the intubation part would not pass me unless I could sucessfully intubate. I have had my ACLS since 1999 have have NEVER had to i...
  4. anyone NOT roll an ankle in Danskos professionals?

  13. Spider bites...

    Or course they can cause cellulitis.
  14. Adjusting a temporary pacer

    I would have increased the sensitivity and see if that helped. Or at least called the cardiologist. Can't you go into v tach if the pacer fires during repolarization?? Kind of like an r on t ???
  15. significance of central ABG

    Can anyone help me understand the significance of a central venous ABG? I think it ihas something to do with the O2 consumption. If the Svo2 is decreasing does that mean the O2 consumption is increasing which is not a good thing ? I think I have tota...
