  1. vancomycin iv over 1 hour

    Undecided7 replied to endlesssummer1's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I've always seen Vanco to run in over one hour (250 ml)- per pharmacy. I have never seen a bad reaction yet and we use it a lot- even without central lines. Check your hospital

  2. Nursing caps required at your job?

    Undecided7 replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    Where I got my BSN we got pins but I don't think caps were even an option. Do schools even make them

  3. Scenario:What would you do?

    Undecided7 replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    For Cat III patients I have seen the freq. order, "Morphine gtt- titrate to pain/discomfort". I questioned pharmacy the first time- don't we need more parameters than THAT??? The pharm. explained...

  4. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Undecided7 replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree that vet nurses and human nurses are different jobs and neither one is HIGHER or BETTER than the other- they each require different training and credentials and both have a place in...

  5. Vet tech calling herself RN

    Undecided7 replied to Nightcrawler's topic in General Nursing

    There may not be a problem with that nurse, depending on the licensing requirments for that state. I've heard "vet techs" called "vet nurses" almost interchangeably and they really are like nurses...

  6. i have just recieved a dui in california,,am i in big trouble with licensing?

    Undecided7 replied to terry1's topic in General Nursing

    It's going to be rough and hopefully you don't have to lose your career because of this one poor choice. Try to just be thankful you live in the USA- in Canada (and probably a lot of other countries)...

  7. Anyone ever pass out at work....I just did :'(

    Undecided7 replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    I did pass out at work a couple years ago. My concerned charge nurse called a CODE when she saw me collapse. I woke up to see about 20 people- lifting up my scrubs to put monitor leads on. :imbar...

  8. Is 'E.R' the tv show accurate?

    Undecided7 replied to AussieJack's topic in Emergency

    I know it's weird, but I like HOUSE. The show is TOTALLY inaccurate. Do they even have nurses on that show? What I like is he says things that medical people WISH they could say out loud to...

  9. Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    Undecided7 replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    1. Get a lawyer to at least give you a consult. That part is usually free and they evaluate what kind of a case you may have. 2. Many nurses are on psychotropic, antianxiety, pain meds, etc. There...

  10. Do you think some people just "dont have what it takes"

    Undecided7 replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    Oh- and you would be surpised how many NURSES, yes- the most ethical and trustworthy bunch of folks, fudge on their resumes. I actually know people who have added years to their "experience". All a...

  11. Do you think some people just "dont have what it takes"

    Undecided7 replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like your manager is having difficulty accepting that she may have made a mistake in hiring the man and is in denial. Your comment may have been okay- especially if you normally have...

  12. flat line eegs...

    Undecided7 replied to rainbows4me's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I know in Nevada at least, if someone is tested (like with an EEG) and there is no brain activity and brain death is confirmed, they cannot be kept on life support unless it's an organ donation case...

  13. Sickees

    Undecided7 replied to Haunted's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Not if it's a documentary about people's opinions. Besides, I'm sure he'll find plenty of facts to support people's

  14. where are the nursing shortages?

    Undecided7 replied to jenago's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone think maybe the hospitals would rather higher a foreign nurse than an experienced American? In my observations, they will work for less pay, usually don't complain about or challenge...

  15. Could I make it in NICU?

    Undecided7 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I currently work with adults and I'm planning to apply for an ICU class but what I would really like to do is NICU. I have a few questions though: Is it significantly harder to start IV's (as opposed...

  16. Nurse terminated after having baby

    Undecided7 replied to hokiern's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I really think you should think VERY hard about working again for that hospital. You have a great work record (as evidenced by your evaluation) and you will have no problems getting a new job-...

  17. Will it wreck me? Would it wreck you?

    Undecided7 replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't understand the argument that men can't understand what a women is going through in labor/delivery. I mean obviously they can't know first hand, but what about L&D female nurses that have...

  18. Is OXYGENATION an INDEPENDENT Nursing function?

    Undecided7 replied to Dervid Jungco's topic in General Students

    O2 does require an order, but come on....any nurse that works in a hospital (I don't know about other places) hopefully uses common sense. I seriously doubt 2L/min via NC ever HURT anyone and even if...

  19. Tarasoff--Duty to Warn

    Undecided7 replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    I understand your point, but I guess I'm saying maybe the law should be changed. What is legal and what is ethical don't always match. Maybe there should be a law that if someone kills a known child...

  20. Tarasoff--Duty to Warn

    Undecided7 replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    I know this is an old thread, but in case someone else comes across it, I have some different thoughts. Does anyone think maybe she SHOULD kill this guy? Is her plan good or does she need some help...

  21. What is in this woman's mouth?

    Undecided7 replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like she may have GERD and the formula (which is usually beige) mixes with the mucous building up in her esophogus. Just out of curiousity, you can add blue food coloring to the formula....

  22. Hoping and Rraying that my "New Life" as A Nursing Student Will Improve my Marriage.

    Undecided7 replied to grad2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for you for going back to school but brace yourself- it's going to be a bumpy and difficult road and I don't know anyone so far that thought nursing school HELPED a marriage. I don't know what...

  23. Wearing Gloves for Injections

    Undecided7 replied to BGSRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I make a habit of washing my hands or using hand sanitizer upon entering a pt. room. If I have dry, cracked hands or open areas or the pt. is infected or has a rash, of course I'd wear gloves. For...

  24. working sick...need advice:)

    Undecided7 replied to scrmblr's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree that when you call in sick- it's not ASKING- you are informing them. On the other hand I know at my hospital it is frowned upon to call in sick unless you are really on your death...

  25. How do you move to another country?

    Undecided7 replied to OURN83's topic in International Nursing

    Last year I started looking into moving also- around November time. It turns out I probably couldn't even get into Canada. As it turns out, other don't let you just come over and get on their welfare...
