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

    hypocaffeinemia replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    Soo.... basically you disregard that whole part about caring for our patients' spiritual needs unless, of course, they happen to align with

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

    hypocaffeinemia replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    The highlighted sentence shows incredible disregard for your patients. It isn't about you or your religion, it's about them. Hell, I'm an atheist and even I find disregarding my patients' spiritual...

  3. PaO2 vs SaO2

    hypocaffeinemia replied to crazylilkelly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Both definitions provided here are simplistic. The PaO2, like I said, is the partial pressure of O2 in arterial blood-- typically measured via ABG. SaO2 doesn't measure tissue perfusion. It measures...

  4. DKA- how often do you see the same ones

    hypocaffeinemia replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in Emergency

    I wonder how useful something like monthly HgbA1C monitoring would be as a preventative measure in adolescent/young female diabetics that have shown signs of

  5. Stop Foreign Nurses

    hypocaffeinemia replied to StopForeignNurses's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You sure do have to defend yourself. The burden of proof is entirely on you-- this is your thread, your xenophobic

  6. Stop Foreign Nurses

    hypocaffeinemia replied to StopForeignNurses's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No. You don't come into our forum making absurd and frankly xenophobic claims and then dodge questions when people ask you to back your claims up. That's intellectual laziness of the lowest level....

  7. PaO2 vs SaO2

    hypocaffeinemia replied to crazylilkelly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    PaO2 stands for the partial pressure of O2 in arterial blood, measured in mmHg. SaO2 is the arterial O2

  8. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    hypocaffeinemia replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My honest opinion as someone who has already lined up my way into a master's after graduation is that I am a bit disappointed in the lack of medical training for the DNP, too. That said, I'm happy...

  9. discussion regarding education of NP (DNP) and PA compared to MD/DO

    hypocaffeinemia replied to RN to Medschool's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I want to preface by pointing out I was essentially arguing your side in the other thread. That said, the degree plan you list for the DNP is for those that already have their MSN/NP, so it isn't...

  10. Do you think NP's are "midlevels"?

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

    I don't think you want to compare length of programs with MD/DO. The actual hours of MD/DO-- both didactic and clinical, far exceed DNP and that doesn't include their essentially mandatory 3+ year...

  11. Advice needed: EMT training or CNA training?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Notanurse's topic in General Students

    I'd recommend EMT training in an instant over CNA. I have nothing against CNAs, but their training is largely skills-based. With EMT, you learn a different set of skills, but more importantly you...

  12. Would you use a sub-clavian heading towards the head?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ukstudent's topic in MICU, SICU

    If the doc was adamant about using an improperly placed central line, I'd go up the chain of command to charge nurse and so on, and also write an incident report. Meanwhile, if the patient's pressures...

  13. Would you use a sub-clavian heading towards the head?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ukstudent's topic in MICU, SICU

    I should have said or. Regardless, if they have it on CXR that the tip is in the IJ, it shouldn't be used (unless, like I said- code and no

  14. Would you use a sub-clavian heading towards the head?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ukstudent's topic in MICU, SICU

    If the tip of the line was in the IJ and running counter to the flow of the vein (if I understand your description properly), I wouldn't use it unless it was the only access during a code situation....

  15. Would you use a sub-clavian heading towards the head?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ukstudent's topic in MICU, SICU

    Where does the CXR place the

  17. Working while in Nursing school

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ZootRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've been working my usual 36/48 while in school and have an A average. It isn't easy, but it's definitely

  18. BP cuffs and infection control

    hypocaffeinemia replied to country mom's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Every patient gets their own cuff at my

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

    hypocaffeinemia replied to justagirl81's topic in General Nursing

    well actually, i say i don't believe in any god(s). the fundamentalist christian hears what they want to and assumes i mean specifically theirs. it's a fair assumption, with roughly 83% of the country...

  20. "Secret" HIV Vaccine in use?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Annisme's topic in General Nursing

    For a philosophy class? I'd bust out "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence". In other words, whomever makes the claim has the burden of proof to demonstrate its

  21. Houston RN pay?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to worldsas's topic in Texas Nursing

    Depends on the hospital. I know parking is free at Texas Childrens', for instance, but the lot is a substantial distance away and they bus you to the

  22. Stumped on a priority question

    hypocaffeinemia replied to RNFutureRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Morphine is part of our hospital's core measures for acute MI, because aside from pain relief it has a small vasodilation effect, however, its use is in the air according to studies. Some show an...

  23. "Secret" HIV Vaccine in use?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Annisme's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but your example only works when there's only one drug company. Some other company without a patent on a chronic treatment type drug would love to receive government subsidy while at the same...

  24. a dosage question

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Hope1978's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If the properly reconstituted drug is 10 mL and its concentration is 250 mg / 5 mL, you are

  25. "Secret" HIV Vaccine in use?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Annisme's topic in General Nursing

    They've been testing several potential HIV vaccines in Thailand, but none, thus far, have proved successful. There is no conspiracy and your classmate needs to remove their tinfoil hat. If a...
