   Lipoma replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

   Mostly out of habit because when I was in the ED it was automatically included during report ( B/L AC # etc) so it carried over into when I went to the ICU...however, asking the location also allows...

2. CCU vs ER

   Lipoma replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

   When I got off orientation in the CCU, the ED called up for report and I legit only asked 3 questions: patient's orientation status, location of PIVs, and current medication/gtt rates... it took less...

3. CCU vs ER

   Lipoma replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

   I started in the ED as a new grad and transitioned to the CCU after 4 years when I decided I want to pursue CRNA school. I thoroughly enjoyed and flourished being in the ED and it definitely made me a...

   I meant reactive* not reactivate lmao. But no problem! Keep curious as you venture into critical care transport. Good

5. Why Succs after Etomidate?

   The airway may also still be reactivate during manipulation (inserting ETT and keeping it there) even after inducing the patient using etomindate or propofol. So NMBAs such as sux and roc further...

6. How Do You Choose a Specialty?

   Lipoma replied to Smwill2901's topic in General Specialties

   ICU actually had no appeal to me as a new nurse. Emergency nursing was always my goal but after a few years I gave it a shot and went to the coronary ICU since I found the heart fascinating and...

12. I need your advice/opinion desperately

    Lipoma replied to throwaway1's topic in General Nursing

    No way I'd be getting a patient who is on BiPap to the commode. One quick pull and the mask gets yanked off, O2 sats drop, and down they go to the floor. If they're able to tolerate being off for some...
