  1. Prolonged QT Interval

    Additionally Zofran and other anti-emetics can cause a prolonged QT (so random, but I found it interesting!). On our floor we wouldn't call about that QT, but if it was the QTc yes.
  2. Severe anxiety at work

    I'm also a new grad on a busy med-surg unit, also very recently off of orientation. I have been having some anxiety (I'm a very not-anxious person) and I spoke with my manager about it. Her exact words: "Did you leave your shift with the patient brea...
  3. Mayo Clinic New Grad Program AZ

    I'm not going to be in the ICU but my orientation is June 5 as well. I'm 22... Where are you all coming from? I'm relocating to AZ.
  4. Mayo Clinic New Grad Program AZ

    Ok I got an official call today for med/surg, very excited, hope all of you get yours soon!!!
  5. Mayo Clinic New Grad Program AZ

    I got a weird call, asking for my address and saying it was a "soft" job offer, that the recruiter would be calling me tonight or tomorrow....not sure what this means. Med/surg here.
  6. Arizona Mayo New Grad Program

    Hi, I had it earlier this week. It didn't go as well as I had hoped, but it was my first interview so I guess I can't complain. I'll be surprised if I get hired though....I was very nervous! Good luck, I hope you do better than I did!!
  7. Arizona Mayo New Grad Program

    I was also selected for an interview. I did not apply for critical care--I have no critical care experience. Wishing all of you the best of luck!!
  8. Navy application-physical

    Thank you all--this was very helpful! I was more worried that we were going to have to do the physical fitness test. I'm secretly worried about it even though on my own time I can do everything myself, just afraid that when I have to in front of some...
  9. Can't decide!

    I had a hard time making the decision as well...I decided on Navy because my family has a history of being in the Navy (still in the process of applying). Good luck!
  10. Navy application-physical

    I've been in the process of applying to the Navy Nursing Corps (graduating May 2012) and my recruiter wants to schedule the physical/get me "medically cleared" before moving on with the application. For those of you who have recently gone through the...
  11. Direct Commission into Navy Nurse Corps

    Congrats on getting in. I'm in the process of applying now. I graduate in May so it looks unlikely that I will be accepted based on these posts about new grads not getting in because of downsizing. However I am trying anyways because it is what I wan...
  12. Hitting bone/nerve with IM injection

    I hit bone working at a flu vaccine clinic last week. The girl didn't even notice. Then another girl who shouldn't have felt it at all flinched, so I think I hit a nerve on her. My instructor was watching when I gave that one and said I did it perfec...
  13. Skill Competency Error

    My first simulation day over a year ago I gave my "patient" with a concussion ibuprofen. Now I always think about it! Never will make that mistake again! I feel that that's the entire point of simulation though...I think about ALL meds and lab values...
  14. Uncontrolled DMI, when is patient "in trouble"

    I kind of figured there would be no difference, but friends have said how great it is switching specifically to and from Apidra, you're the first person that has mentioned feeling differently. Very interesting! They've all said that Apidra doesn't ac...
  15. Uncontrolled DMI, when is patient "in trouble"

    I agree that a CGM could really help out in this situation, but a CGM isn't always as accurate as a finger prick, so he needs to make sure he's not bolusing based on what the CGM says. His family should be writing down every single blood sugar and ho...
