  1. wonder what the opinion is on the "new" ACLS guidelines

    hypocaffeinemia replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    Also to add, much of the same goes on at my current hospital-- I'm just on the receiving end of it being in the ICU. My facility is a moderate-sized community hospital without trauma (we're expanding...

  2. wonder what the opinion is on the "new" ACLS guidelines

    hypocaffeinemia replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    The witnessed arrests were mostly those that came in barely alive and were actively crumping. Maybe our EMS service is a bit more proactive than shipping pre-deadended patients to us. Although there...

  3. wonder what the opinion is on the "new" ACLS guidelines

    hypocaffeinemia replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    Define success. From an ER standpoint a successful code is revival and stabilizing enough to transfer to ICU. I've seen hundreds of these. If we are defining success as the patient returning to the...

  4. wonder what the opinion is on the "new" ACLS guidelines

    hypocaffeinemia replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    It's been a few years since I've worked ER (background: I'm an EMT currently working as a monitor tech as I finish up my ADN), but we had plenty of successful codes in the small community hospital I...

  5. The 10 Commandments for Healthcare Professionals

    hypocaffeinemia replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think I understand what she's saying here. The prologue to the movie Idiocracy explains it nicely: Warning: The clip contains some crude

    hypocaffeinemia replied to thegreatone28's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You said you were a first year nursing student. How did this become about

  7. I wanna a be male nurse?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to thegreatone28's topic in Male Nursing Students

    No, it's misleading to those not in the medical field. Anyone with a standard deviation intelligence of -2 or higher living on Earth knows what a nurse is. You don't have to concoct some equivocation...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to thegreatone28's topic in Male Nursing Students

    While we're clearing things up, what's what this implication that physicians don't help people? You seriously need to rethink your

  9. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet (halfway through school!), however as I work in an ICU I observe many of the issues that frustrate nurses. Pretty much the top issues are a lack of listening and an air of...

  10. Math Problem can you please help me with this set up

  12. jealousy/avoidance of top students?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to queenjane's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed on this site more than in class, a general disdain amongst some people towards intellectualism. Some seem almost proud of scraping by and arguing to keep or lower standards instead of...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to second this. My family is UU (For those not in the know, UU has members with all sorts of beliefs, including, in my case,

  14. The 10 Commandments for Healthcare Professionals

    hypocaffeinemia replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I demand the article be renamed to "The 10 Commandments for Catholic Healthcare Professionals". It'd be more accurate. What good points it makes are tarnished and hidden by the

  15. Why ADN is Better Than BSN for CRNA.. For Some

    hypocaffeinemia replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I want to know how he completed an ADN in two years. You can't even gain entry to the programs around here (including the one I'm in) without a minimum of 27 out of 31 semester hours of

  16. wonder what the opinion is on the "new" ACLS guidelines

    hypocaffeinemia replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    Six years in the ER and you've never witnessed a successful code? I'd say about 50% of our codes in the unit/throughout the house survive the first code. I don't doubt their outcomes are poor, but we...

  17. Religious believes expressed in nursing theories. For or against

    hypocaffeinemia replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    The reason Christianity is intertwined with modern nursing is that the large majority of the Western world where modern nursing evolved has been Christian for the past millennium. To think that the...

  18. Frustrated with Drs ordering unneeded test

    hypocaffeinemia replied to jackrook's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    1) Get your RN-BSN. 2) Work for at least a year (preferably two) in critical care while completing any other prerequisite courses. 3) Apply to a CRNA program. 4) Profit. Some colleges will offer...

  22. trying to get into one of lonestar colleges

    hypocaffeinemia replied to missgoo's topic in Texas Nursing

    Kingwood and possibly CyFair have a Spring start program, I believe. Regardless, a score of 11.0 is borderline as far as admissions go. A couple of years ago, you'd easily be in, but nowadays...

  23. NP & MD equivalency

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Dr. Tammy, FNP/GNP-C's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think it's a game of semantics to say that NPs are equivalent to MD/DOs. You don't see people arguing that DPT or DPharm is equivalent to MD/DO even though there is definitely some scope overlap...
