medic 2 RN

Same process and procedure for me.

I agree with you on that. I wonder how some of these people are even able to get out of bed and tie their shoes

So many companies advertising, which ones are the best to work for, which ones to avoid? Any suggestions from nurses that are in the travel business? Thanks!

Same here but has started to pick up again. 18 bed ED, people were scared to come in to be seen. Our covid cses are starting to peak as well.

I say take it, I was hired as a new grad in a Level 3 ED, and also now work PRN in a Level 4 ED. I love both jobs, no plans for going Level 1 or 2, do not need the faster paced ED, I'm and old man of 56 with bad knees!

No to HR, speak with the Dr privately and tactfully.

RN/ paramedic here, I spent 9 months in 1987-88 obtaining my paramedic cert. Then from 2014 to 2017 getting my basics for RN, and graduated with my ADN in May of 2019, while still working full time in EMS. We pick up after ourselves in our ED because we aren't a bunch of slobs. When I have a pt that is a hard stick I will get the ultrasound and stick them once for their IV. Our hospital based medics come and help us when we get slammed with patients and we thank them for their help. I still work the truck too. Yeah, you have a chip on your shoulder.

This was two years ago, and yes the protocol is still in place. I do know the family and she is doing fine. The protocol has been in place for many years and does need to be updated to current treatment modalities. The various services where I have worked over the years have used the 0.3 to 0.5 mg of 1:10,000 solution for severe anaphylactic reactions since 1987 at least. The protocol for this particular service was updated to IM epi 0.3 mg of 1:1,000 for mild to moderate reactions last year.

The last anaphylactic shock that I worked was given two, 0.3 mg IV doses of 1:10,000 epinephrine. It saved her life from a wasp sting, her epi-pen had no effect on the reaction. The patient was in her 40s, and she had no ill effects from the IV epi. I didn't push it in 5 seconds, more like 3 minutes. This was when I was still working EMS.

I did all of mine online, no issues getting accepted into nursing school for me.

This is why I didn't do the trick.

Am I reading this right that the pt was given 80 meq of potassium by IV push? Succs after she was in cardiac arrest?

My school used ATI and Passpoint, and we had the 3 day live review. We also had to get the ATI greenlight. I graduated May 10th and tested May 29th, passing with 75 questions. I only used ATI and Passpoint to prepare after graduation. I had several SATA questions, probably around 30, and a couple of drag and drop. In my opinion the NCLEX was easier than the tests on ATI and Passpoint. You have to remember when answering the NCLEX questions that you have to assess your pt if there is an answer that mentions assessment, always remember the ABCs when prioritizing and delegating, you have orders for everything, and you do have access to all necessary supplies and equipment. Especially remember to treat in the order of least invasive to most invasive interventions. Good luck on your next attempt.

Had a couple questions relating to asthma and cough meds.

I graduated May 10th and tested May 29th, which was the earliest test date I could get. Passed NCLEX at the 75 question mark. I used ATI Board Vitals and Passpoint for pre-exam studying, both of which seemed harder than the NCLEX.
