  1. Floated to Tele, no experience...

    our hospital doesn't allow pulled nurses on our floor unless they are from another tele unit and have been through the certifications. if your hospital does allow that, i think they should at least provide adequate training.
  2. Rhythm interpretation a fib

    a fib is the absence of Pwaves, so it could actually be regular and still be a fib
  3. Patient ratios progressive care units

    I work on a step down unit. Our floor has 42 pts with a ratio of 1:4 or 1:5. We are the only floor besides the icus that can take a vent pt. If we have a vent pt it's an automatic 1:4 ratio. We also take pts on aquadex, it is also a 1:4 ratio. Then y...
  4. Aquapheresis

    our floor has been using aquadex for awhile and we've had so much success with it. i've only had one negative thing happen while having a patient on it, and it really wasn't even bad, a patient's BP dropped to in the 80's/40's, she had also pulled of...
  5. usually, how long into the program do clinicals start?

  6. Testicular Torsion

    Thanks so much for yalls help. TerpGal I didn't even think of tissue perfusion and risk for injury, those are great. While going through reading my case study again I realized that it says since the pt came in within 6 hrs, his testicle has a good c...
  7. Testicular Torsion

    I was thinking risk for infection because of surgery, and activity intolerance due the surgery too.
  8. Testicular Torsion

    I'm doing a C-MAP on testicular torsion and am coming up short on nursing diagnosis. I've looked all through my book and nursing diagnosis book. The main thing that is said is about the pain, so obviously pain will be my number 1 priority, but I stil...

    wow, i feel really lucky. we have to park in the employee parking which is a decent ways away, but the employee shuttle circles around constantly picking up people and take them to the hospital and taking people from the hospital back to the parking ...

    that's exactly what i was trying to say!
  11. Question I got wrong on my test!

    it can be argued by arguing weight, you don't have a baseline. arguing skin turgor, it isn't always acurate either depending on the pt
  12. Question I got wrong on my test!

    depending on the pts age. among a few other things. older pts. tent without being dehydrated, so it doesn't necessarily show signs of dehydration. i'm just saying the arguments can go both ways.
  13. Question I got wrong on my test!

    i just said as a general rule of thumb it's by weight. but you can argue that you don't have enough info to base it off of weight and as skin turgor (ie: they didn't say his age etc. as they didn't say anything about his weight. so it can go the same...
  14. Question I got wrong on my test!

    So tell us then how skin turgor is going to show the extent of the fluid loss? it's not, and further more, you don't the pts. age or anything or he might tent normally and it mean nothing, so the same thing could be argued as it could about the weigh...
  15. Test Question

    Thanks everyone for your input, apparently the entire class gave her crap about it so she said she would accept both answers. Still irritates me though as to why on earth she would think that way though in the first place.
