2. worried

   JSJones,RN replied to wanderlust99's topic in Travel

   Sarahc331: Your information is good however, I filed as 'part-year' resident in both states. I didn't claim a "permanent address" in VA which is my home state. I don't think I stated that in my last post. Since I don't have anything major in my name ...

3. Hydralazine

   JSJones,RN replied to brainkandy87's topic in Emergency

   We use hydralazine quite a bit in the ER I work in. Labetalol is an ok choice...I tend to think metoprolol works better...but if their HR is in the 30's, I doubt I would choose a beta blocker. If you're going to treat an asymptomatic pressure, howeve...

6. This has been bothering me...

   JSJones,RN replied to tss2507's topic in Men

   It completely depends on the patient and your situation. I have taken care of a lot of women who could care less as long as they are treated with respect and dignity. As a young male nurse, its usually me who is uncomfortable in these situations, yes...

7. Being a young Nurse.

   JSJones,RN replied to jlg47rn's topic in Men

   I, am a young nurse, at age 24 now, I've been a RN for 4 years. I am treated like the 'know-nothing youngster' everyday but like other responses have noted, I take advantage of the knowledge I receive from the seasoned nurses. It takes time to prove ...

   would probably have to say pleurisy due to the length of recover and pain associated with the recovery. That being said, the risks of the recovery for a tonsillectomy are greater than those of pleurisy.

    I have been and ER nurse for only a few years and want to personally apologize for the way you were talked to. I also want to say that not all of us think the way the nurse you gave report to and VISEDRN do. You absolutely did the right thing by send...

12. Waiting a year to take TNCC?

    JSJones,RN replied to brainkandy87's topic in Emergency

    No, there isn't a requirement of hours to be completed prior to taking TNCC. I took it about 4 months after I graduated and did fine, was actually asked to assist with teaching the next class offered later that month. However, the ER I worked in at t...

    I traveled to Katy, TX which is about 20 minutes outside of Houston. I loved it there! We drove to Galvestine Beach a few times which is about 1.5 hours south. We used a company by the name of Traveler's Haven for housing and they put us in a very ni...

15. am i a hypocrit?

    JSJones,RN replied to xoxo0414's topic in Career Support

    No, you are not a hypocrite! What I have experienced, is that the older the patient is the harder the recovery is. Usually the biggest risk comes 7 to 10 days post-op and that risk is hemorrhage at the surgical site. Listen to your doc and follow all...
