  1. Case Study: Cyanosis

    Endocarditis? Hx of recent tooth extraction, are we talking about Osler/Janeway nodes when we mention hyperpigmentation and induration? And I hate to judge, but she may have experimented with injecting some of her narcotics. Any history of heart dis...
  2. Case Study: Solve A Neurologic Mystery

    I agree. Please do share more of these in the future! It's a great exercise in critical thinking.
  3. Case Study: Solve A Neurologic Mystery

    This is really interesting. Perhaps she seized secondary to a CVA and aspirated, causing PNA and what seems to be sepsis. Looks like rhabdo too. Blood cultures, IVF, and get a dose of antibiotic in ASAP.
  4. How do women feel about pts that only want female RN's?

    Seriously? Why no atheists?
  5. Design your best nursing shoes...

    They've already been made - they're called Danskos. :)
  6. Wandergaurd

    Does she use a rolling walker or wheelchair? You could try putting it on there
  7. New hospital gown design

    It's got polyester in it though. Our stinkers will stink just a little more. Polyester makes you sweat more too. Everyone will be "occasionally moist". Plus... the joy of the "mooning" episodes were an easy view of the back/behind for skin assessment...
  8. Dreaming About Work

    I had a dream not that long ago that I fell asleep during a 12 hour day shift (I work nights), and I hadn't seen or medicated any of my patients. It was the end of the shift and time to give report, and the oncoming nurse said, "it's ok, don't worry ...
  9. At night, I dress up as a Nurse :)

    Hear what? Also, "at night I dress up as a nurse" strikes me as saying night nurses aren't real nurses. Maybe I'm just letting the remarks of day shift get to me though.
  10. This wasn't about a nurse, but was really funny nonetheless. I was watching Chicago Fire and one of the EMTs was listening to a heart... And heard v-fib! Ahhh!
  11. When to be off orientation

    Hi all. I'm new to a med/surg/tele unit after previously working in home care and LTC. I've gotten good reviews so far from my preceptors in terms of time management and whatnot. I feel comfortable with the IV pumps for the most part, and have had am...
  12. Just let me be...

    5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
  13. stumped by change in g-tube

    Yeah, I've never seen that happen, and it shouldn't have. As far as I know, there's only one type of tubing that you can use with these tubes, and they're MicKey brand. If you know you're using that, make sure you're lining up the notch on the tubing...
  14. Feeling like a servant

    When I was a nursing assistant, I had a family member suggest that we do what Quickchek does with their coffee and make it fresh every 20 minutes. :/
  15. First med error.

    I can't believe I made a med error in home care. I feel horrible. I'm a new nurse, licensed this past August, and finally found a job in January in home care. Today I made a medication error because I'm careless. I gave an antibiotic scheduled for 3p...
