    CRNA Admissions GPA/ Years in ICU

    JacobIloved replied to Sara Marie Lawless's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I minored in LPS (Logic and Philosophy of Science) while doing my undergrad nursing degree. I don't think that CRNA schools really care if you have a minor or not. However, minoring in a subject that...

    First Major Mistake, Patient Didn't Get Blood, I'm Afraid

    JacobIloved replied to ICURNVUS's topic in General Specialties

    Is this actually a major mistake? There was an error in communication and the patient didn't receive blood, but nothing happened to the patient, right? I would definitely call up the manager and ask...

    IV Compatibility

    JacobIloved replied to calfro87's topic in MICU, SICU

    In the setting of DKA, it's very common to run a Dextrose infusion and insulin at the same time. The primary management concern in DKA is the ketoacidosis, not the hyperglycemia. Insulin gtt is used...

    Tips for New Grad ICU Nurse

    JacobIloved replied to bootsandcats's topic in MICU, SICU

    Put in work! Some people show up as new grads and immediately "get it", some people take time to warm up to being a nurse. But what differentiates the really good nurses from the okay nurses after a...

    Night shifters- try a weighted blanket

    JacobIloved replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Are weighted blankets hot? One of the issues that I have, especially where I live, is that it gets hot during the summer. The uncomfortable heat is what keeps me up more than anything else, I think...

    Forced Organ Donations from Living Donors???!!!!

    JacobIloved replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    Unfortunately, the advent of VA ECMO has only accelerated the growth of the illegal organ trade in China. You can now be kept alive without your heart, lungs, or kidneys. Also, in the last few years,...

    How do you feel on displaying your certification credentials on your badge?

    JacobIloved replied to choksantos's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like to show certs - certs have nothing to do with how good a nurse is. I don't patients to think that I'm a better nurse because I have more letters after my name, I want to be judged by the...

    NG Tube NPO

    JacobIloved replied to vxxen's topic in General Nursing

    One of the issues here is that it's a CMS requirement that every patient has a diet order, even if they're intubated/sedated/whatever. But this diet order doesn't cover enteral feeds or even...

    Ultrasound Guided IV cert

    JacobIloved replied to Bteti20's topic in Critical Care

    YouTube does a great job with teaching you the theory of inserting ultrasound IVs. I would definitely ask some of the nurses with experience to teach you hands-on. There's nothing like having someone...

    New Grad in the ICU. Is this right for me?

    JacobIloved replied to Emmastone's topic in Critical Care

    In my experience, the difference between a mediocre new ICU nurse and a new ICU nurse that will grow into someone really good is the amount of work they're willing to put in. If they're not willing to...

    Will be shadowing an ICU nurse on Monday. What can I expect and what are some questions I can ask?

    JacobIloved replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Ask about the nursing process and nursing judgment - a lot of what nurses do include weighing what has been ordered to what is good/necessary for the patient. While we can't directly contravene...

    Effect of 12 Hour Shifts on Patient Care and the Nurse: A Need for Change.

    JacobIloved replied to LindaGracie's topic in General Nursing

    12 hour shifts make sense in that you want to minimize the amount of handoffs given. Every handoff potentiates the loss of information --> more errors. The only trouble though is that night shift...
