  4. Question about Cardizem Drip...

    I agree with nightcrawler's post and your actions with titrating the drip off. In my facility, we slowly titrate the Cardizem to off when the afib rates are controlled or converted back to NSR. Of course, you would need a MD's order to do that.
  5. help picking nursing school

    It's no so much the school that will make a good nurse, it's more the individual. No matter where you go, it's all up to you to make the best of your education and experience. Enjoy becoming what you want to be...a nurse.

    I forgot to include that I was hoping to bring a positive light in all this disorganization and stress that it can serve a purpose for our future careers.

  9. How to communicate

    Conversing every second does not = excellent companionship. This might be a standard you set for yourself but remember that not all of your patients will like what you like. Enjoy the silence...maybe your patient does. Let her open up at her pace.

    I don't know about your practicing invasive skills sans a license due to legal liability. I guess it will depend upon your preceptor. Just absorb as much as what's presented to you. If it's J1 SDU you're going to, you're going to get medical case...

    I graduated from UMDNJ in May 2007 and I agree that it was not as organized as I would have liked or expected it to be. HOWEVER, that is nothing compared to your future career as a nurse, especially the first year. If you can't hack the disorganiza...
