   My guess would be a combination of RA as well as renal issues from chronic HTN.

2. bradycardia with nitro drip?

   Septic shock

3. Do you have to be certified to debride wounds in a hospital?

   GrinchyRN replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Wound

   Also, had this nurse nicked an artery or caused harm to the patient, she would have no leg to stand on in a court of law.

4. Do you have to be certified to debride wounds in a hospital?

   Sharps debridement typically requires certification. The RN that did this AGAINST the physicians order foolishly put her license on the line. Hope the patient is ok.

5. Haven't had my license a whole year and was "let go" from my first nursing job.

   You do not have to list your former employer, though failure to do so is omitting on an application, and automatic reason for immediate expulsion.

6. A Day in the life of a Telemetry Nurse?

   GrinchyRN replied to ivyleaf's topic in Cardiac

   Oh, so true! Aides/techs can absolutely make or break you. Unfortunately, on my 30 bed tele unit, we are usually short staffed and 50% of the time, work with no techs. Oh, how I hate those nights!
