5. ST alarming on tele mgr but no acute MI

   shadowflightnurse replied to Jsy0013's topic in Cardiac

   First of all, I would NOT turn off the alarms on the monitor. This is a big NO NO (pt safety, JCAHO, etc). As the other posters mentioned, there are many reasons the alarms could be going off. Sounds like you did the right thing (assessed pt, EKG, c...

   shadowflightnurse replied to shadowflightnurse's topic in Post Graduate

   Manda...I don't know anything about the WHNP program...other thanit is supposed to be a good one. Good luck on your application. Sugar...I have had some doubts with the dual role. In the end, I think it will make me a better rounded NP. Whether I dec...

10. Pronouncing someone with a pacemaker

    shadowflightnurse replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Cardiac

    A magnet placed over a PM will send it to it's pre-programmed "magnet rate." As the previous poster stated, this is an asunchronous mode...meaning the PM will fire at a set rate regardless of the patients intrinsic rate. You stated the patient was 10...

    shadowflightnurse replied to TjamieRN's topic in Online Learning

    I would definitely go ahead with the financial aid. When you go to the FAFSA website, make sure you do the 2010-11 application...for the summer semester. I would also go ahead and do the 2011-12 application for the Fall. I got my award notification l...

12. IV Fluid/IV Tubing

    shadowflightnurse replied to EDrunnerRN's topic in Emergency

    I have worked at several ED's and have done it just about every way posted above. I think the best was the Omni Celll (? sp) system. It was quick (you don't have to wait for individuial doors/drawers to open) and was easy to override (if the patient ...

13. Stress Testing

    shadowflightnurse replied to NurseArtGirl's topic in Cardiac

    My hospital has been doing it this way for several years. The physician does not have to be present for ANY of the stresses, only has to be "in the facility." Check with your state board to see if it is within the scope of an RN to perform stresses w...
