  1. ER computer programs

    We use T-system and it's a breeze.
  2. Quick question... IV protonix

    She told him today when he told her that we had contacted the pharmacy and Wyeth, that Protonix can be ototoxic.... Anybody ever heard of that????
  3. Quick question... IV protonix

    So I called our pharmacy, and I just got off the phone with Wyeth, and both pharmacists confirmed that Protonix has not been tested nor FDA approved for IVP
  4. Quick question... IV protonix

    Friend of mine is working with a preceptor who wants to know why you can't give IV protonix faster than two minutes IVP...We've looked everywhere and can't find the answer. I figured it might be a dystonic reaction like with reglan, but it doesn't sa...
  5. 18 SATA?

    What the heck? and just as many or more priority questions, back to back to back. It cut off at 75, and I feel horrible. I just feel like I probably screwed up on all the SATA, that it quickly made a decision that I was a fail... I didn't feel...
  6. "Community" Insulin

    How do you guys feel about sharing insulin for all your patients? What is your hospital's policy? I'm just a student, and it is the unforgiveable sin for us to give insulin that doesn't have the patient's name on it, but the nurses on the floor ge...
  7. Community Insulin

    How do you guys feel about sharing insulin for all your patients? What is your hospital's policy? I'm just a student, and it is the unforgiveable sin for us to give insulin that doesn't have the patient's name on it, but the nurses on the floor get ...
  8. I'm a senior nursing student working PT this summer as a sec/tech. I've learned a lot, but I'll tell you what, I can't wait until its over. I have never in my life seen so much abuse of power, and lack of thanks and appreciation as I have over the ...
  9. I've seen a lot of schools say at least a 3.0 for pre-reqs, but when it comes down to it, it's usually 3.5 (at least) or better.
  10. I am giving up

    If nursing school were impossible, there would be no nurses.... I'm a 30-ish :) mom of four who is about to graduate in Dec. In addition, my husband and I take care of my disabled in-laws who live with us. School has not been easy, but you CAN do it...
  11. Do Hospitals view BSN over ADN nurses.

    What she said. Here where I live, it makes no difference at all unless you want to go into admin. Same pay, same everything
  12. Clinical supervision by instructors

    I haven't had a problem with them disappearing at all. It does seem though (I imagine this happens everywhere) that if they aren't around they are usually busy with needy students. Our ratio is usually 10:1 so it's hard for one person to be on top o...
  13. Yikes!

    For me, the key to being successful was learning how to dissect those damn questions! You have to learn to mark out distractors and extraneous information. Look for hints like "what should the nurse do FIRST" or tricky ones like "which is the "LEAST"...
  14. What if men dominated the Nursing profession?

    Sorry, just wanted to clarify. You typed LVN/LPN/ASN/RN. I agree with everything Gila in that I don't think gender would change a thing. EMS is similar in that EMT-B, EMT-D, EMT-AI, and EMT-P are all considered under the same umbrella and all ser...
  15. GPN still working after failing NCLEX

    But if she is working with a preceptor, is she not covered under the same umbrella as a student nurse?
