1 in 14 posts imply that this situation is caused by YOU! What CRAP! Follow your heart and listen to the majority of your peers, make something happen. Make those in your unit see and realize how unfair this training is to you and the unit, or fin...
Just study the NCLEX RN book in the front...it tells you how to read the questions to know what they really want. I studied that the day before and passed with 98 questions. I am a BIG procrastinator. Also, KNOW KNOW KNOW Maslow's heirarchy of needs...

I don't think the pre-A&P class would be a waste. A&P is very demanding!!!!! Medical terminology was a TREMENDOUS asset to my education, and I strongly encourage you to take it. The nutrition class is 3 1/2 hr long because you will meet only...
{I'm confused. Why are you upset about my post? I work well with others, (nurses, NAs, NTs, secretaries, etc) and I complete my work. Is there something wrong with that?} Nothing wrong with that. I must have mis-interpreted your previous post....it w...
We use morphine also. Usually 2mg-8mg depending on Doc. Most are extubated within 4-8 hrs postop and in a chair2-6 hrs post extubation. When they are extubated we give percocet x2 and lose dose morphine for breakthrough pain. We have a 15 bed CVICU ...

Hang in there. I, too, was in another career in management. I have the same troubles you are having. I am disorganized and stay late, but I am giving great care to my patients. Don't sweat the little things. A winner never quits and a quitter never ...
Hello Tam74, I am having the same problem, although it is better now after 14 months. There are still a few hateful people. I can't figure it out. The big problem remaining now is the anal-obsessive compulsive rn's. One in particular, they call the...
I work on a 15 bed CVICU with 2 pct's (cna's with tele certs) a ward clerk with tele cert. and our charge takes the same amount of pt's as the rest of the staff, unless census allows her to take 1pt. We take 2 pt's at most. We have 4 groups of rooms...
We bolus our vented pt's with propofol, but it is my understanding with propofol that anything over 100mg is anesthesia and a Dr has to push, for legal reasons. We as nurses are not anesthesiologists. I think the concentration is 10mg/ml, so 10ml is ...
The way I understand it...if you have a negative CVP reading and your transducer is in correct position and has been zeroed, your Pt is volume depleted. Can someone else confirm this.
