  6. In clinicals today, a CRNA asked me about the significance of an arterial cascade pattern. I had never heard of this and I'm having trouble finding information on it. He was describing it as an up...
  7. Dopamine infused by infusion pumps

    The hospital where I work has two different concentrations of Dopamine. 400mg/250cc is for peripheral use. We usually use 800mg/250cc...double strength to be used in central lines

    I have two favorites from when I travelled: Bridge Staffing-the only agency I worked for where my recruiter actually called me weekly to check on me and see how I was doing. Global RN-pay was always...
  14. Open Visiting Hours in ICU...Yes or No?

    I've been doing this gig for about 12 yrs now...and my vote is definitely no. I understand that the family is concerned about their family member. I do all I can to keep them update. But, if the...
  15. How do you take report/manage your time in ICU??

    I do have a special report sheet that I made up on my computer, primarily for the reason that our unit went to computer charting and we no longer have a flow sheet. It just has basic info: Md's, DX,...

  20. No worries! I thought they might be a little similar, but I in no way expected them to be exactly the same. I know that there were different interviewers here in Jackson. Williams didn't...
