Thank you all!

Hi everyone, 1st year nursing student here. We recently had an assignment that had to do with someone having a bad reaction to opiates (this was a fake patient- a scenario, the patients respirations dropped to about 3). One of the questions my teacher asked was what would happen if giving naloxone did not work. I was wondering what you as a nurse would do if the patient was not responding to it. What are interventions that you would do, if this was your patient at the hospital? My guess would be to call a code and then I'm assuming a physician would intubate, I wasn't sure how much else could be done since I don't think there is another drug like naloxone. I appreciate all input! Thank you!

Hi, I am new to allnurses so let me know if this isn't the correct format. Currently, I am a pre-nursing student and I have taken 24 credits-all the basic stuff; comm 101, english 101 and 102, math 130, social sciences, you get the point. I took a semester off and now I am taking human biology and math 140, I am taking the math as a pre req for statistics. I am thinking of applying for my community colleges RN program in august. I will have my pre reqs almost done by then as I am taking microbiology during the summer (stats isn't a pre req for our program). The only two I haven't done are A&P 1&2. I know there would be a very very slim chance I would get in, but I thought it doesn't hurt to try? I thought that when I do apply the 2nd time that they would see my name again and maybe that would help? What do you guys think? I haven't taken the teas yet so any advice and info would be great, thanks. Also, I forgot to add my college requires 750 hours of patient care, I recently became a cna and so I will be hitting that mark past august but I work 32 hours a week and am considering working at either the hospital in town or the advanced care hospital.
