2. Croc's

   Mayotski replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

   Croc's is really popular with our anesthesia residents. I think they're kinda cool but I can't afford a pair. So I just bought 2 cute pairs (silver and purple with gems) that looks exactly like it in a popular department store here in Manila. They're...

   Thanks very much for the post and for the tips! Hmmm... high cost of living you say? How about the people who live there? How are they like? I'm sorry, I don't have the slightest idea what kind of place I'm going to in a few years time.

   I just had my 24 hour duty Thursday last week. I was the 2pm-10pm nurse and our SICU then was a full house. There was no one to relieve me, I have to cater to 2 SICU patients and 2 PACU patients alone w/ a pull out, I have no choice but to extend my ...

   Mayotski replied to RN34TX's topic in PACU

   1. Does your PACU allow visitors? No. I'm very strict in implementing this unit policy. Relatives are sometimes pain the ass. (kidding) 2. If so, under what circumstances? i.e. peds cases only, special needs, ect. Pediatric and psych patients are e...

    Thanks mommatrauma! So all I need is 5ml of NSS for the dilution. Cool. However I haven't had the chance to prepare the esomeprazole drip yet. Looking forward to it. :)

    Mayotski replied to Mayotski's topic in Med-Surg

    Thanks for the information. The esomeprazole/IV (Nexium) comes in a powder preparation, so you have to do the mixing before administering it to your patient. And we don't have an IV medication book here in the Philippines (err... I'm not sure). Alth...
