Hi! I'm considering moving to NOLA, just curious how things worked out for you!

Hi there! I'm in an MSN program now (it was almost as fast for me to do an MSN as a BSN) and I'm hoping to go to USC's CRNA program. I know it's ridiculously competitive, hence my question. ...

Of course when I used (past tense!!) the flush caps I didn't set them down - I would take it off the syringe, hold it and screw into the end of the tubing. Touching air doesn't make things...

You said it better!!! It is nice to have more than purely a contract- a sense of loyalty makes employment more pleasant. There's an awesome book, "If Disney Ran Your Hospital", that talks about...

Sheesh I understand about your situation as a tech- good luck! I worked as a tech through NS, had awesome performance reviews, aced my interview with my facility for Versant, but didn't get it...

Makes sense. I guess where I'm confused is that I fail to see the difference in the cap from the flush and the little white plastics caps. They're both sterile, and they're both covering the threads...

Who puts a pinning ceremony on their resume? I don't even know what that would look like. My school had a Pinning ceremony & graduation for the whole school (CC in southern Cal). None of my...

Yes - all the docs at my work use 1 ml/kg (body weight)/hr now.

I haven't had it with a patient, but I have a friend who flat-lined 3 times in one day. He was mid 20s when it happened (10 or so years ago), a professional athlete, and has had an AICD ever since. ...

Thanks for the info! I'm on my way to class (MSN program) and I'm gonna ask my friends what they do & if they've ever checked, out of curiosity.

Could you share what you find? I've seen Zofran work on countless patients, not to mention myself! Reglan & Compazine give me dystonia, but good ol' Zofran has yet to let me down.

Huh I'll definitely check out their website, I used it as a resource for a poster presentation I did for our Skills Fair this year, and they had some great resources. Do you have any specific links...

I was taught that the rubber stopper is sterile under the cap, which makes sense considering how hard it is to pop some of those suckers off. Now that I think about it though, I've never checked...

I guess I should've been more clear- I'm not taking this personally, as I am quite confident in my skills and passion for nursing. The fact that my hospital didn't have an ice cream party for Nurses'...

I moved to the other coast! Stories from my friends that are nurses in FL are scary.

LOL most of the nurses on my floor would be THRILLED to get a new copier for Nurses' Week - we've been all but begging for a year. :uhoh21:

See my previous response about MD Day at my place. I definitely do agree with your 2nd paragraph, but please don't think that I'm the kind of person that needs a "Thanks" in order to be proud of my...

Great post. I do consider myself a professional, and I work very hard at furthering my education as well as work experiences. A little perspective on my hospital though - they put up a banner for...

I totally agree with this, and I'm 100% fine personally with not getting recognition from my workplace - knowing I did all I could do to the best of my ability for my patients on my shift is MORE...

Sorry to go off-topic, but I'm moving to CVICU this summer and this post made me SO excited!!! Can't wait to join y'all...

Ugh makes me cringe... like not washing your hands in a public bathroom. WHAT?!?! :banghead:

At my place, charge nurses in critical care can call it.

:no: I think ​I'd need professional help after working someplace like that!! I hope they paid well...

This is my day!!!! LOL so perfect!!! :yeah:

Whoa! Where do you work? I'm in cardiac DOU now, transferring to CVICU this summer, but I had a congenital heart kid a couple of months ago, and I was fascinated both by learning more about the...
