I too had problems with Blackberrys and programs. I got an SD card and loaded the program to that. I've also talked to others and they say to clear your messages. OP: I just got a free trial to...

Sweet!!!!!:up:

I think you were right to question it. If there was no clear cut answer then yes you need to go up the "food" chain to someone with more letters behind their name. Personally I think the RN was mad...

Ok so...I am not sharing much news at work yet just because I'm not sure how people will react...so ya'll are the ones!!! I GOT INTO UIC ACNP!!!! Here I come Fall 10!

I just went back and read some of the other posts (suppose I should have before reposting). Just keep in mind that not all ICU nurses are the same just as not all ED nurses are the same. I tend to...

This is why I pointed out every place was different. By special psych room I mean one build so the walls are more or less indestructible and a locked door. As long as they are not hurting...

The ED is really an interesting place which is why so many of us flock to it. There have been several post on this subject but here is a summation from what I recall... FNP are good for the fact...

atropine is an anticholinergic. And why not try to give them something instead of the good ole standbys...maybe then they dont need to be admitted.

Wow...not every place is the same. If it'd be helpful for me to come got my pt then tell me that but I'd prefer not to leave THE other nurse in the unit alone. If the psychs are causing you...

If places are doing a dual degree why would a PNP not work instead of a FNP? ACNP are for adults w/ both chronic and acute so I would think that would work for adult edu needs.

Why or when ED and ICU started having conflicts I am not sure. I do get frustrated with the argument of "we take whatever whenever." Sorry to point out that is what an ED is for. I have taken...

Last I checked conscious sedation does not include a level deep enough to render the pt to the point of apnea. Were the fent & versed titrated or bolus dosed? If it seems that the MD pushing the...

Off the lorazepam but...is anyone using precedex for ETOH wd? And holy cow I can't believe (i really can) how much people have to give!!

Can ACNP get certified through AACN also? If so, are they any quicker?

Agreed that a Midline is probably better than a standard peripheral but I am under the impression that mid lines are not central

I caution nurses from "rocking the boat" because a code sheet was not filled out...if it was not a code when the pt got intubated then there would not be a code sheet...at least at my facility

I'm hoping that there was a typo or something that I missed because a manager asking if levophed to replace lidocaine...um wow.

Gavins Dad, If you want to be a Paramedic in Illinois then I believe you must take a Paramedic class and testing. In Illinois there is what is call a Prehospital RN (PHRN) and they typically...

As far as why Neo isn't being used more...I think like one of the previous posters said it depends on the providers training. I worked in a busy/high acuity med/surg ICU w/ CABG pt and we used Neo...
