  1. cath lab job

    It is a great team. Call depends on the staffing at your hospital. If they do non-interventional caths only, you wouldn't do call. Since you guys so cardiac surgery at your hospital, I am assuming that you have a team available 24hrs a day. We have t...
  2. Any cath lab RNs required to take the RCIS?

    Nurses are encouraged to get a certification, but it doesn't have to be RCIS. RT's are encouraged to obtain their RCIS.
  3. Biltmore Estate in Asheville. When we lived in the western part of the state we had a yearly pass out there. It was an hour away, and I loved to take day trips down there. My daughter loved the barnyard, and I loved the winery (haha) and the grounds....
  4. What could have caused this?

    There is always time for lube! (Name that movie!)
  5. Can anyone help me find a job? :[

    What about the place you did your clinicals at?
  6. Still penny pinching

    I wanted to add- We started doing a modified Total Money Makeover system (Dave Ramsey). DH and I each get our own stash of money each payday. If I want to buy coffee everyday, it comes from my stash of money, as does clothes and any extras I want. We...
  7. What could have caused this?

    Thank you for asking me to ignore this (so I'd know you weren't speaking directly of me). I feel a little bit better since I have remember his horrible platelet count that we didn't know about (insert rolling eyes here). I know if anything comes of i...
  8. Still penny pinching

    I understand! 1- Write down everything you're spending. You'll be amazed at the small areas you're spending money that add up. 2- Figure out ways to cut back. Do you really need 247 cable channels and 1500 cell minutes/month? 3- Cook! I hate cooking...
  9. What could have caused this?

    I wanted to add- the foley was inserted all the way to the hub before inflating the balloon, and I was able to pull back some after blowing up the balloon (it wouldn't pull back if blown up in the urethra, would it?). We also later found out the pati...
  10. What could have caused this?

    It was cardiac surgery- the physicians were aware, but it was not the priority at the time. I am not sure what was done post-op once the patient went to the ICU.
  11. I'm beating myself up over this, and I don't even know if I should be. I did a foley on a male patient today, after anesthesia induction, prior to surgery start. The cath went in without any problems, no resistance. I go about 25ml of clear yellow ur...
  12. I am allergic to...

    Yep! My fave has to be the allergy to oxygen. Um- I don't think so. Reaction? It dried out their nose.
  13. So we have a Code coming in....

    I call it the thumper. However, they are an awesome machine, and in a smaller hospital where there isn't as much staff (or readily available students/residents), they can really help free up some hands. During a class, one of the ICU nurses said "I ...
  14. Chloraprep

    Chloraprep contains alcohol, therefore it should be dry before using cautery, to decrease the risk of fire. I agree with bolded. If they're using betadine paint and scrub, where they are much closer to the skin and could easily touch it, then yes,...
  15. Moderate hearing loss

    I agree!!!
