1. Running amiodarone through the proper line

   JettRNurse replied to Keyley's topic in Infusion

   Sounds like she is a grumpy/rude nurse. I'd like to see the evidence backing up her claims, I've never heard of such a thing.

2. did i fluid overload her to death??

   JettRNurse replied to heshamhesham's topic in Cardiac

   It is possible that a quick influx of fluids may have increased the blood pressure significantly, which could cause complications in the post operative period. (additional pressure causing sutures to tear etc.) Would need more information before we c...

3. I dropped out. Please console me

   JettRNurse replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

   When you get to heaven, will you look back and regret electing to take more time for yourself instead of doing something that is making you miserable? I say drop out, take time to be uniquely you!

4. Online statistics?

   JettRNurse replied to beestrng's topic in ADN/BSN

   So this post is late, but may still help others. I recently found myself one statistics course away from finishing my BSN degree. All the community colleges required that I take algebra before admitting me into statistics. They would not merit comple...

5. heart rate 40 ,SBP 60, for over an hour

   JettRNurse replied to brownbook's topic in Cardiac

   Sounds like you did the right thing. IVF's are a solid choice, and continuously monitoring, which it sounded like you did. The only thing that comes to mind is the documentation. "Physician notified re: bradycardia and hypotension. MD aware, no new o...

6. ER Nursing

   JettRNurse replied to JettRNurse's topic in Career Support

   apRN, I found that the psych hospital I was working at had another hospital nearby that had a tele unit. This allowed me to be an "internal transfer" even though it was some 45 miles away. I'm not sure if there is a similar situation for you. I have ...

7. Is there ever a time where it's okay to give up on nursing?

   JettRNurse replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

   Have you looked into private colleges? It was 12 months between starting my first pre req and starting nursing school. Tuition was about 22,000 a year, but I figured better to get in today, pay 44,000 and have a degree, and a job than to wait years a...

8. Paramedic vs Nurse! Decisions!

   JettRNurse replied to ConureDelSol's topic in Career Support

   I remember standing at the crossroads that you are currently at. I had finished my EMT-B and wasn't sure which route to take. I took the nursing route, and feel I really made the stronger choice. Nursing has a lot of flexibility, and you can take you...

9. ER Nursing

   JettRNurse posted a topic in Career Support

   Even before I got into Nursing School, I had a dream of being an Emergency Room nurse. There is just something about an ER skill set that excites me. The idea of being able to use my every day nursing skill in day to day life is very appealing to me....

10. Getting a job as a new psych RN? Pay?

    JettRNurse replied to PSYCHEE's topic in Psychiatric

    I haven't been on these forums probably since I last posted here, but the handy email alert made it easy to find this post. It sounds like you are in a very similar situation that I was in, as I took a job in MH because I needed to pay the bills. I h...

11. Getting a job as a new psych RN? Pay?

    JettRNurse replied to PSYCHEE's topic in Psychiatric

    The job market in the greater Northern California area is really tough right now for new grads. Being the highest paying area for nursing, with the recession as it is, any job is a blessing. Psych wasn't my first choice, but I am super happy to have ...

12. Getting a job as a new psych RN? Pay?

    JettRNurse replied to PSYCHEE's topic in Psychiatric

    You are jumping the gun a little bit. You are not quite graduated yet, but are still working on your pre reqs... Sounds like you have a couple years left. The things you have heard about finding jobs as a new grad right now will probably not be a pro...

13. Calling all missionaries!

    JettRNurse replied to JettRNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! I am aware that Africa isn't the safest, but it's got one of the highest needs. God's got my back, and I suppose should I die, I'll see him soon enough anyway =)

14. Calling all missionaries!

    JettRNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to raise some awareness, and was wondering if anyone had heard of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, or their health mission. This church has planted hospitals all over the world, in some of the most remote locations. This one hospital I...

15. HELP ATI comprehensive predictor :/

    JettRNurse replied to dmansmith10's topic in General Students

    Look at your weak areas on the breakdown of the ATI predictor B results, that will be a really good place to start your studying, because it is a good analysis of what you know. Take it like you would take the nclex. Good nights sleep, breakfast in t...
