I love hemodynamics, lab values, Vital signs

Published

Does anyone else? I'm an ICU nurse so I think if it I didn't there would be a problem haha.

Maybe that's part of the reason I want to do CRNA :yeah:

I really like fixing hemodynamically unstable pts, but wouldn't go so far as to say I love the numbers themselves. Need context around the values.

Are you one of those icu rns who wants to review each and every lab during report from the er?

I was always happiest with the sickest of the sickest unstable open heart on every drip known to man and a surgeon that says...."I want a CO/CI of this, and a SVR of this, a wedge of this, make them stable..."

Hi guys,

I am soooo envious! I fell in love with critical care nursing and I am trying my best to land a position in an ICU. The technical challenge is fascinating and it is so darn satisfying to see a patient come through in the end.

I snortlaughed at the stunner shades comment.
