  2. Hoyer Lift

    The Hoyer lift has a variety of different slings. The first thing to determine is whether you want the head higher than the feet or the patient level. Next make sure you have the sling attached to the lift before you move the pt. From that point on, ...

  4. Indiana State University Lpn-Bsn CA BRN review.

    No one knows the outcome of the Calif BRN investigation but I was told that the BRN would allow those enrolled to matriculate to graduation if the program was discontinued in Calif. Now allegedly word has gone out that Sonoma State backed out of the ...
  5. Pt on bi-pap with supp liquid O2 at HS

    Yes, you are correct but the calibration is set by the company / physician. As far as a sleep study, that is not necessary as the is a congenital problem with micro airway (in fact all tubes are micro) and not a nose breather related to the micro air...
  6. Pt on bi-pap with supp liquid O2 at HS

    Yes, I am familiar vents an the rationale behind the one way valve. However, this is not a vent but a bi-pap (some could argue that they are the same). The tubing, mouith piece, O2 conections, lines are all washed daily. When putting the bi-pap tog...

  8. Pt on bi-pap with supp liquid O2 at HS

    I have a question to ask of those of you who have/had a pt who is on Bi-Pap with supp O2 during HS. My pt must maintain a SPO2 >94% (per order). He uses the bi-pap at night and it is connected to supplemental liquid O2 whose levels can be 6-12 L/m...
  9. Being an ugly nurse

    If I am in a hospital bed looking over the rails towards the nurse, I could care less if the nurse was dro-dead, Brad Pitt georgeous or a troll--as long a the nurse has a clean appearance, was confident, capable and treated me with respect and kindn...
  10. What do you pick for breakfast?

    Nothing wrong with a medical drink like Ensure. When I get home and if the weather is hot and I don't feel like cooking, I pop some chocolate ensure into the blender with lots of ice and maybe add a little sweeter and almond extract and make a healt...
  11. What do you pick for breakfast?

    I always pack my brown bag the night before, but because I have a long drive so I always start with a cup of coffee/tea. If I have no time and must hurry, I also grab a medical drink like Ensure to drink on the way and keep an extra in my backpack fo...

  13. Indiana State University Lpn-Bsn CA BRN review.

    Are you still on hold with the SSU / ISU LVN to BSN program? If you are on hold, I assume that you have not started any actual nursing classes at ISU. For those admitted students in the program I think that ISU is starting to place them and are now d...
  14. Need advice on my uniform fit

  15. A moment to wallow in self pity.

    Let's hope the school is accredited with a quality program. Paying $40,000 for your program--outrageous. I am assuming the school is one of those national, private training companies. Since you mentioned it, I assume you are required to buy your scr...
