   DjMiG replied to Bee2008's topic in General Nursing

   That is unless you have a central line and the patient on a monitor. Then you can increase to 20 mEq/hr. As for the original posting, You should probably refer that question to a pharmacist. IMHO, figure out how many total mEq's of Kcl you have total...

    DjMiG replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    HOT STUD- Are you still in Nursing school? Or at least close to finishing? Personally, after seeing what is happening with socialized medicine, it's a gamble that one takes. If you decide to go into the nursing field expecting to become rich and are ...

12. Banner rules!

    DjMiG replied to sandiego's topic in General Nursing

    Which one is more intense? Maricopa or Good Sam? I would have thought that Maricopa would be the most intense. Then again, I have always heard that County (Maricopa) is THE best place to get experience. Any thoughts?

    DjMiG replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing
