  1. CCU: ICU or no?

    JEE93 replied to Sophie Garcia's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Yes, the CCU I started in is an ICU. I think generally CCUs are considered ICUs, however, this may differ between hospitals/hospital systems. I'm sure there are some that have PCUs, or combined units...

  2. New Grad in CCU

    JEE93 replied to Sophie Garcia's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Hey there, I also started as a new grad in a CCU. My orientation was 12 weeks. I would say probably about halfway to 3/4s of the way through orientation you should be taking 2 patients by yourself,...

  3. New Grad Cardiac ICU RN wanting advice from seasoned ICU nurses!

    JEE93 replied to MoJo-Jo-Jo's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    It went pretty well, luckily they haven't given me really sick patients on my own yet. I feel "okay" with more stable, straightforward patients. I am in a CCU, so honestly probably easier than CVICU....

    JEE93 replied to MoJo-Jo-Jo's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    @MoJo-Jo-Jo Just checking back in...how is it going for you doing part time? How did your orientation on the unit go? Are you managing work and school well? I actually switched schools and...

  7. Can I get a job as an ADN?

    JEE93 replied to Braiden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure what part of the country you are in, but I just finished my ADN and I'm in the southeast. I was offered and accepted a job in CCU as a new grad, with only an ADN. When I was first offered...

  8. Bolus 25mL/hr

    JEE93 replied to Leah8183's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much! That helped me a lot! I think over time with more practice and experience it will become easier and make more sense. It seems daunting to me right now as a new grad. Thanks for the...

  9. Bolus 25mL/hr

    JEE93 replied to Leah8183's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question, may have been answered already (not sure I'm kind of confused). New grad here...I have always wondered this. If you have two meds/fluids running at different rates, but giving...

  10. Need help with a question

    JEE93 replied to pnwRN88's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I would definitely think r/o acute CVA and checking BGL would be the priority here. In addition to what everyone else has mentioned, what is the pt's fluid volume status like? Is pt on blood thinners?...

  11. Considering a career change from Pharmacist to Nurse (and eventually NP.. hopefully)

    JEE93 replied to thisaintnoregularhcp's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work as a medical scribe in a level 1 trauma center and we had clinical pharmacists who worked in the ER. They were there for docs to bounce ideas off of and would give advice about which...

  12. PCT in CVICU or ER Tech?

    JEE93 replied to JEE93's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for your advice, I really appreciate it! Sorry I've been absent for a little while. I have been picking up a lot of extra shifts and I have recently been sick. Just saw that the...

  13. PCT in CVICU or ER Tech?

    JEE93 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I would like some advice regarding a possible position as a patient care tech in a CVICU vs. remaining as an ER tech. I am about to start my last semester of nursing school (I will graduate in July),...

  14. PCT in CVICU or ER Tech?

    JEE93 replied to JEE93's topic in General Nursing

    I've just heard it's limited to blood sugars, helping turn/clean, and maybe help ambulating. I've heard it's mostly stocking/gathering supplies on the unit. I guess in comparison to what I do in the...

  17. Finishing up my first year of CRNA school. Ask me anything!

    JEE93 replied to SRNA1221's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I want to go ahead and apologize for the length of this post. I've got a bit of a complicated background. I initially went to school for nursing at a university straight out of high school. I wasn't...

    Okay, so it looks like I'm registered for nursing classes now, but I'm only registered for 9 credit hours for the fall semester. Don't we need to take full time hours for financial aid? I have...
