  1. Chest tube care

    Make sure you have really thick skin for the verbal beating you'll get from the MD for milking or clamping a chest tube!
  2. IV question

    The way I understood the OP, a primary tubing was connected at the normal secondary port above the pump. I guess if all the clamps were open, it could work...lots of backpriming for the next dose though! If I didn't have any secondary tubing and the ...
  3. Gymshoes vs. Clogs - how to spare your knees/back?

  4. What can I do to these scrub stains? Help Me!!!!

    I was referring to the Rit white; if it can be used on all fabrics. I know better than to use bleach!
  5. less painful heparin injections?

    Distraction. I have them take a deep breath in while I count to 3. When I say 3 they blow out hard, like blowing out candles and I go for it. I've had many people say they didn't even realize I was done. Distraction is a great thing! lol
  6. What can I do to these scrub stains? Help Me!!!!

    Does it matter what material the scrubs are made of? I just recently went to white tops; some are poly, some are all cotton, etc. I would love if it were as simple as adding a solution to keep them white!
  7. Nursing Documentation

    I'm guessing you have paper documentation. I
  8. New Grad Med Surg Nurse Freaking Out!

    :rotfl: That has to be the funniest thing I've read all day!!! No matter what I did, it took me the better part of the first year to get mostly comfortable with the regular day to day things. Just in the last few months have the sudden out of the o...

    Or the floor!!! (been there night before last...yuck)I have to agree that the one thing that can really make all the difference is the group I'm working with.

    Always socks. I usually wear compression socks for work.
  11. Overnights hangover - one day off

    When I only have 36 hours off I tend take three naps. One when I get home in the am for about 4 or 5 hours, I go to bed for 4 or 5 hours overnight then nap again for several hours before going back in. It usually totals 12 to 15 hours depending on ho...
  12. Another stupid Dansko thread

    That's why I bought Alegrias! The Danskos hurt my feet in less than te minutes in the store. The Alegrias have never hurt; they've been uber comfy since I put them on, no breaking in necessary breaking in period!
  13. Best shoes ever?

    I wasn't sure so I went to a store that had both Alegrias and Danskos to try them on. I tried Danskos first, had them on about 5 minutes walking around the store before my feet started to hurt. Did the same with the Alegrias and felt like I was walki...
  14. I work on a busy med/surg unit.....really???

    Many times I answer with "do you want the polite answer or the truth". Makes them think about why the really asked. If it's at work I usually say "everybody is still breathing" which we all know is a good thing! lol
  15. Best shoes ever?

    Close! I'm a FAN of Kathy Troccoli (who goes by KT). Small Internet world, huh?
