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
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...
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...

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...
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"...
