2. R on T phenomenon

   RE Agent replied to RE Agent's topic in CRNA

   Does it show up on the monitor/EKG?I had PSVT once, because I drank some tea in Japan. My heart was beating so fast, and I was sweaty, never felt like passing out. Converted with vagel stim. Could you be going thru the change? That will make you...

3. R on T phenomenon

   RE Agent posted a topic in CRNA

   My patient in the GI lab came out to recovery with way to many PVC's, > 6/min. Some the PVC R waves fell right in the middle of the T wave. She did not have any cheat pain, and her b/p was fine. The MD said this was o.k. as long as she did not ...

4. Substandard Healthcare d/t high Patient to nurse ratios

   RE Agent replied to shandy84's topic in General Nursing

   The truth, nothing is going to happen to fix the problem. Why? The powers that could fix the problem will never receive substandard care, nor will their families. The truth is, we little people who vote for the powerful scum could care less about ...

   O.k this was covered school, I hope. Your instructor is full of it. Patients code, and you never see it coming. What state did you go to school in?

6. Bedside surgery with no sedation

   RE Agent replied to Kiwi's topic in CRNA

   Why not give the meds before the procedure? A B/P in the 190's after a stroke is asking for trouble. Who can you report this doc to? I would not let this go unaddressed, and I would refuse to help this doc in a procedure like this. Nurses are pat...

7. What's up with Human Resources

   RE Agent replied to payday's topic in General Nursing

   Good for you!!! That did go somewhere, and I'll bet it got attention. More nurses should be doing this kind of thing. If the patient is abusive, or their family call security. You can also call social work, or hve a psych consult written up for t...

8. What's up with Human Resources

   RE Agent replied to payday's topic in General Nursing

   I applied for a position at a certain hospital, had my interview, and agreed to take the position. Then along came HR. They were so rude, and the treatment was real bad. I changed my mind about working for this place. A couple of weeks later I was...

9. Blatant Nursing "No-No's"........what's your worst???

   RE Agent replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

   A nurse on shift with me, years ago had a diabetic patient who was a hard IV stick. The IV abx ran in very very slow, so this nurse decided to fill the IV bag with air, and place a B/P cuff around it. You know, pressure bag. Well it worked, and th...

10. Tenet Hospital

    RE Agent replied to Choircat's topic in General Nursing

    Get help for your emotions, and stick it to this guy. As long as you let your emotions rule you on this, justice will never be done. He will do it again, and again. Be strong and go for it. This is his fault, and clearly not your fault. Deal wit...

11. Intradermal lidocaine for IV starts

    RE Agent replied to hardworkingrn's topic in General Nursing

    EMLA cream is the best, but the waiting time can be a problem. Sometimes IV have to be started quickly. This is good for the peds patient. I've never seen a policy for lido use, we just used it, if the patient wanted it. It does hurt, like a be...

13. Nurses and Defibrillation

    RE Agent replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient needs to be difibed, then do it. Just think if your family member, or you were the patient, and the nurse stood by waiting for the doc to get there. This is want nurses do, we save lives. If it's not in yor P&P get it in there. ...

14. Be-littling CRNA's

    RE Agent replied to forane2001's topic in CRNA

    Sounds like you work with some real unhappy people. It's not your fault, and they have to live with themselves. Don't tolerate it. If someone says something mean to you, tell them it's not nice to say things like that, and look them in the eye, an...

15. Meet the Fockers

    RE Agent replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    The movie was great. I did not see the male nurse as being belittled. He delivered the baby, and it is good to see male nurses on T.V. As long as nurses think in the negative realm, then the negative will come thier way. If more nurses think and ...
