  2. Can Anyone explain TEGs to me?

    Hi! On our trauma line, over the past couple of months, our docs are ordering TEGs right, left and center. Can anyone help me out with them? I have tried looking things up, but it's all mishmash to me. Also, can anyone explain to me when you would...

  5. Adjunct Faculty a.k.a. 'Academic Sharecroppers'

    Hi! I've just finished reading this thread with great interest. I will start my MSN in education this fall and finish in 2.5 yrs (part time program). I'm now feeling scared, bc it seems as though it will not only be hard to get hired full time (as ...
  6. MSN Nurse Educator

    Hi! I have just been accepted for a MSN Education and I would really like to teach in the classroom as a full time gig when I am done. However, the above stories are making me nervous . . . are you all saying you are having a hard time finding jobs, ...

    Does anyone have anything else to add to this? I really enjoy getting up in front of a class and teaching and have just bee accepted to a Masters in Nursing Education program (part time). it's mostly on-line and over 2.5 years, so I think I'll still ...
  8. Adenosine and COPD?

    Hi! I was recently told that you should never give adenosine to a COPDer. We had one in SVT while I was off work, and I'm trying to understand why not. Can anyone clear this up for me? Thanks!
  9. Stroke volume variance

    Thank you so much aCRNAhopeful! That's much better than anything the docs like to say I get how you can get an idea of preload from your SVV on the flotrac/Vigileo. And you can use your SVR to tell you if you need to relax the vessels if it's too h...
  10. Stroke volume variance

    Hi! We have only recently begun to use the Vigileo and NEVER see swans. Do your docs actually use the numbers from the Vigileo? I swear, it feels like ours just have us record them and do nothing with them (no changes). That having been said, can a...
  11. Are swans going "out of style?"

    Hi! We have only recently started to see the Vigileos/Vigilance machines (can anyone tell me the difference?). I work in a Burn Unit, so we don't see them as often as other ICUs, and we NEVER have swans. So I feel a little behind, but I am studying...
  12. Hello all! So 2 weeks ago I tore my acl and caused a 3mm hairline fracture in my tibia when I jumped up to catch a ball and I felt it tear. So I have now been off of work for 2 weeks and 2 days. The first week, I got 3/4 of my shifts covered, so I ...
  13. Pericardiocentesis/Pericardial window-whats the diff?

    Lisa, I am so sorry this happened to you! I can't tell you what will happen, but the fact that you are young and yes "healthy" (no other complications prior to this) usually helps a whole lot with outcomes. I will be praying for you. Hang in there!
  14. Sorry -whats ROSC? thanks!
  15. Just a thought, but I think it also depends on WHERE you are . . . the major cities with major medical centers don't seem to need nurses so badly - but out in podunk, USA? That may not be the case . . . it may come down to whether or not you want to...
