  1. 1 year ICU...ready for ER?

    If you are competent, you would do better than any new nurse. Period. You'll have experience with critically-sick patients and what goes along with all of that...so you should be comfortable when dealing when caring for these patients. You should ha...
  2. I am physically sick with worry :(

    Dude..you are totally freaking out for no reason...
  3. And...most women (and all men) who have this attitude are at least mildly homophobic, typically lower-class/income, resentful (for a number of reasons), have poor self esteem, and a very limited life experience/world view. Without fail. Easy to pick ...
  4. Hey man. Bros before Hos! YOu'll do fine.
  5. RNs running ECMO on adult patients

    Dont be afraid of it. I say go for it. People come to the ICU all the time who die...and will die regardless of what you do or what machine/machines we use...and...when they die it doesnt mean it's your fault or your responsibility or... Or..a bett...
  6. International project? Have you been talking with Xigris reps/Eli Lily? :)
  7. Stop the bullying

    That's it sissies..I'm gonna kick your butts! (cracks knuckles)
  8. takotsubo syndrome "broken heart"

    Yes Takotsubo reverses... usually within a few weeks to a few months. Cardiac function usually returns to baseline in that time. In my experience with it, an initial improvement occurs over a few-to-several days but residual HF symptoms can take long...
  9. Nursing Stereotypes and a Dumb Society

    I smell an inferiority complex here. Or just an unhappy dork.
  10. Question for the CCRNs

    Spoken like a new grad. I'm glad you get confused for a seasoned nurse. Kudos.
  11. Question for the CCRNs

    New grads can be ok going into ICU (or any other department). There's just a bigger (much bigger) learning curve than with experienced nurses who migrate to ICU. And regardless...even when a new -grad becomes a 1 year, 2 year, or even a 3 year nurse...
  12. can i become a nurse if i have a mental disability?

    Holy crap that is the funniest thing i've read here in a long time. If i'd have posted that i would've been reprimanded by the allnurses post-police. Watch it...cuz they've got their eye on you now.
  13. Coping with ICU Ethics

    I disagree with those who are posting "...well...thats just life in the ICU....". I understand where they're coming from, in that we're constantly...daily...exposed to all this suffering and death and tragedy...and... BUT...from your post you mention...
  14. Do ICU nurses really have more autonomy?

    Nah thats wrong. The reason for this is because (forgive me if this has been stated already), In the vast majority of ICU's there are no doctors there 24/7. Yes, certainly there are many hospitals that have intensivists, and hospitalists, and etc... ...
  15. A New Prespective on the Nursing Profession

    True that! (cyber knuckle-bump...bros before hos)
