Peak pressure is basically pressure in the airway circuit. Increased secretions, fluid filled bronchioli, patient biting the ETT for example will directly affect peak pressure. Now once you've taken away all variables affecting peak pressure, what yo...

Totally agree. I would also suggest watching several YouTube Videos and understand the concept, the basics, preparation and such. Then if you have a facility that checks you off for the US guided PIV class, sign up and there's nothing to it.

Regarding giving report, always develop a routine/system and get used to it so you minimize forgetting something when giving report. As what was said above, use a workflow sheet or "brain" as we call it. I usually start with: Name, age, male/female, ...

I am about to leave my full time job and I love the insurance that it provides under AETNA. I would like to speak with HR if I can continue coverage and pay for it out of pocket. Is that an option that can be offered.?

Here is the best write up for sedation agents. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3227310/ You would also benefit from watching the numerous YouTube videos on this subject.

The QRS complex will always be narrow in a heart with a normal functioning conduction system and a supraventricular pacemaker. The QRS will be prolonged in a BBB or from a ventricular source (PVC) since both signals will be conducted from muscle to m...

55-65/hour is just your base pay for the first 8 hours, beyond 8 hours it's x1.5 for each 12 hour shift you do. Beyond 40hrs per week you will be paid x2 of your base pay for each extra hour beyond 40hrs/week. You also have to factor in your housing ...

You can still have a pulse while in VT. Not adequate perfusion but you still have a pulse. And there's pulseless VT. To the OP, Are you a Tele Monitor Tech? Without a 12 Lead EKG and only looking at 1-2 leads on your monitor, if you recall VT's impu...

Most new grads are quick to pick up and have the energy to learn many new skills and concepts. In my experience, the new grads that did fairly OK or not that great, became NPs. While the new grads that excelled are still working. One guy was even as...

I'm planning the same thing. Working in California, and down here in Texas. Tomorrow I'll be calling a travel agent that 2 of my colleagues have used. I would be like to work 6 days straight from Thursday-Friday-Sat-Sun-Monday-Tues in California, and...

So would it be safe to say any CE's, for example, that pertain to ex. heart failure, Afib, antiarrythmics, etc can count towards the CEN, and topics such as Impellas, balloon pumps, LVADs, post CABG managements, etc, cannot? I just don't want to fal...

I obtained my CEN last July of this year and looked over the BCEN website for requirements for maintaining the CEN certificate. Here's a copy paste directly from the site: "CEs should have a clear and direct application to the practice of emergency, ...

Here's a little story I'd like to share with you. One time I was assigned in the CTICU and took care of a suicide male in his late 30's who gashed open his wrists, bilateral carotids, stabbed himself in the abdomen several times. He was in the ICU f...

Yes, wedging the swan is rarely even performed due to the risks which out weight its use in the clinical setting. That's why when the interventional cardiologist floats the SWAN, he/she notes both the wedge pressure and PAP to establish a baseline re...

Does extensive experience (and a plethora of certifications) increase your chances of being hired per diem after transitioning from being a travel nurse?

After passing the CCRN back in 2009, I immediately signed up for both the CMC and CSC 3 weeks later while my memory was still fresh. Took the CMC first on a Monday, passed it, then took the CSC the following Monday and passed it as well. I remember p...

I took the CMC literally 3 weeks after I passed the CCRN with no extra books or reading material other than the ones I was already using. Passed the CCRN with a score of 111 (passing I think was 91), but my CMC I passed it only by 2 points and just ...

When I'm in retiring age, that's probably a job I would want.
