   ESI Triage concerns

   Mobeeb replied to Mobeeb's topic in Emergency

   Thanks, guys, for your responses. I think it helps this old nurse to read your comments (especially the rants) because I am reminded that the problems (or challenges---management term) of nursing are the same, no matter where you go. :)

   When surgeons shirk having anything to do with medical problems arising

   Mobeeb replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   I think that a lot of surgeons went through a course of "if it can't be cut, then I don't care" philosophy. Several years ago a young man (24) was transferred to our Trauma Center with a "severe crush injury to the chest" (according to the transferr...

    How to add insulin to an IV Fluid Container

    Mobeeb replied to HoShKyLo's topic in General Nursing

    The use of the TB syringe is only for the IV admixture. Some of the older RN's use the TB syringe for subcu doses because they can see the lines of the syringe much better. I want to add that the admixture procedure I mentioned is a standard with o...

    How to add insulin to an IV Fluid Container

    Mobeeb replied to HoShKyLo's topic in General Nursing

    We have to do this all the time in our big ED. We use a TB syringe without the TB needle. If you use Insulin 100units per cc, then 0.1cc = 10 units and so on. We use a 22ga needle, draw up the Insulin and inject it in to the IV bag. We usually ...

    Mobeeb replied to missjennmb's topic in General Nursing

    I would do it again. I have been an ER nurse in a busy Level I Trauma Center for 20 years. Are we understaffed? You bet. Is the turnover of nurses high? Yup. Is the census high? Once again, yep. Do the powers that be ram JCAHO and other regulat...
