Maybe somebody can help me out I am looking for a ranking of BSN programs. All I can seem to find is US news reports ranking grad programs thanks in advance cb

YES you are willfully careless when you take a drug and inject it into another human being with out taking the 30 seconds to verify it is the right drug/dose/ ect. It is a decision that is made each and every time you medicate someone.

Most of the "reasons" listed so far are not reasons, but excuses "too busy/many/much". The reason every med error is made is carelessness. Not just on the part of the RN but and the whole system. from the physician who scribbles something to the R...

I am not sure what he meant to say, but I am just emphasizing that it is not or even close to a conscious sedation drug. There is no need for 1:1 watching the only need is for the patient to be intubated, because they are paralyzed it is not a drug...

paralytics are not conscious sedation drugs.

I hope it is being used in an intubating situation or for paralysis of an intubated pt. Nimbex is a nondepolarizing skeletal muscle relaxant. It should only be given to a patient with someone present skilled in airway management. An intubating dose...

I am currently a sr at camc feel free to send any questions b

I would grab a 250 cc bag of NS pull out 100 cc put a amp of Ca gluconate the amp of bicarb the insulin and the D50 in it and put it on a minidripper and let it go. Some sources will say that Ca++ and Bicarb will precipitate in the same line but I h...

To hell with her.... First off grab a crash cart, I assume that almost anything she could want should be in it(a personal pet peeve of mine people running for stuff we stock in a crash cart just for the explict purpose that you have it on hand when y...

As far as painful sticks, try numbing the site with lidocaine just like an Iv start. If you are not starting them offer this up for whoever is. There is no reason for patients to just deal with the pain of being stuck. This is a position I have don...

My guess is while she may expect some special treatment alot of the "special care" is the idea of the hospital admin. I remember one pt I had old money lawyer,his wife a docter. We rolled out the red carpet. I had him 1:1 for a couple of nights, he...

WOW what a contradiction first off you can not handle any airway all the time and that cowboy mentality is why an incredible number of ERs have an open lawsuit at any given time (not related to propofol but by decision made by mds and rns who feel th...

The reason anesthesia pays more. You talk in terms of resuscitating somebody's kid. I talk about taking a healthy living breathing child and rendering them unconscious and insensible while using airways, tubes and mechanical ventilators to breathe f...

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction(HPV) is a physiological response in which pulmonary arteries constrict in the presence of hypoxia without hypercapnia. This leads to redirecting blood flow to alveoli with higher oxygen tension. If a patient is on...

I figured I would post a new thread the current fin aid thread is long. Starting this fall, you can borrow up to your COA through the GRAD plus loans. Up until this year they were only for parents, you can now take them out for yourself. They are ...

When pts are coughing or bucking the vent the most likely cause for the alarm is increased airway pressures. When you are suctioning most likely alarm is for disconnect, if not using an inline suction cath, if you are then it could be several diffe...

Not sure if this is, what you are talking about but it is a rule about abgs and has an 8 in it. I always heard it as the golden rule. It is used to calculate if the patient's deviation from normal ph can all be accounted for by ventilation of if ot...

I think everybody has to have 550-600 case some schools may require more, but the accrediting body requires either 550 or 600. They also require (x) number of regionals, hearts,. lungs, cranies, ob management, macs and so on.

anybody know about Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, I am thinking about looking for a job in atlanta they are listed as a level 1 peds trauma center I am just wondering what the er is like if is more critical trauma pts or seldom trauma and mainly ...

The ER cause burnout out very quickly most rns after 2-3 years of working a busy ER are usually angry and resentful about most of the pts the see. It is hard to see that never ending stream of drug seekers, criminals, idiots(drunks cleaning gun and ...

TO the original poster did you interview and take the job. I worked in both the ER and SICU and had a good experience with the hospital, good working conditions, and steady raises. I took many classes on the clock ACLS, PALS, IABP. We had liberal pr...

10 mls is placing way too much pressure most people will seal with 4-6 ml of air. Tracheal necrosis and stenosis may result from inflation of endotracheal tube cuffs (ETTc) to pressures >15-25 cm H2O, at which capillary perfusion pressure is exce...

In controlled trials automatic NIBPMs perform constantly more accurate then manual auscultation. I will add this involves proper size and placement of cuff. If you have frequent errors (everybody's pressure is up or down) it is far more likely opera...

As a former ER rn I say go big or go home lol seriously you will never hear anybody say man I wish they had a smaller IV. I remember a new nurse who was orienting with me giving me grief over putting a 16 in a little old confused lady. It turns out...
