   Immunizations for uninsured

   Oh'Ello replied to seericap's topic in General Students

   Look up your local Catholic Charities chapter. https://cflcc.org/healthcare/ I was in a bad situation when I started nursing school. I had no insurance, I had absolutely no money, my dad had just died and my student loan distribution didn't happen ...

   Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

   Oh'Ello replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't know this was a thing? Our patients and family members buy us gifts all the time.

   How to get acute care experience when you are no longer a "new grad RN"

   Oh'Ello replied to arose26's topic in General Nursing

   How flexible is your living situation. The other side of the state has TONS of acute care opportunities, and I personally know of several practitioners that were hired as RN's (most of them as Casuals and PRNs for supplemental income) because our a...

   What was your worst shift ever?

   Oh'Ello replied to Isakolistic's topic in General Nursing

   A Minnesota tube is a device used for upper GI bleeds. It's a long tube with 2 balloons and 2 drains. The gastric balloon inflates in the stomach to tamponade the bleeding there, and the esophageal balloon can be inflated likewise. The drains ...

   ICU Question about central line infection control

   Oh'Ello replied to Benj2610's topic in Critical

   RN's change central line dressings where I work. A select group who've received training change PICC's (simply because of the displacement risk). I'm not sure who else is expected to change them.... Physicians? LOL

   JP/ Chest Tubes

   Oh'Ello replied to greney80's topic in General Nursing

   i was always under the impression that it was a matter of maintaining the catheter. Some JP catheters are kinda teensie and can clog if you don't strip out the clots. I've never had to or even thought about stripping a chest tube... I just don't ...

   when to ask patient if they need an interpreter.

   Oh'Ello replied to futurenaijaRN's topic in General Nursing

   Whether or not someone needs and interpreter is like the 4th question on our admission assessment, lol. I promise you, that nurse probably didn't give any kind of ****. She's just asking the questions that the computer prompts her to.

    ALL equations for Mean Arterial Pressure??

    Oh'Ello replied to jhill134's topic in General Nursing

    Which is why sometimes (at least on our monitors) you can have a crappy wave form and -/- for sys/dia but still have a map in parentheses that makes sense

    What was your worst shift ever?

    Oh'Ello replied to Isakolistic's topic in General Nursing

    Minnesota tube, 27 units in and 30 LITERS out. I think that pretty much sums it all up.

    IV Push dilution methods... Is my method wrong?

    Oh'Ello replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Medications

    I also reconstitute In flushes. We don't stock saline vials....Because it's stupid. The ISMP assertion is stupid too. If I drew up 10ml of nimbex, and 10 ml diltiazem, how on earth would I know which one is which????? Labels that's freaking how (...

    Unsupported at home.

    Oh'Ello replied to NewbieNurse91's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for about 4 years now. My husband was shocked/irate/confused/disturbed/befuddled/concerned when he recently found out that I frequently encounter male genitalia at work. I don't think it's uncommon for "the others" not to know ...

    Why are nurse managers jerks?

    Oh'Ello replied to Cola89's topic in Management

    Are they all in the same health system? Maybe it's just bad culture. I've worked in places (not in nursing) where all of the management were jerks. And then when I transitioned into a management position, I realized why.
