  1. Say Hello to Dr. Nurse

    hypocaffeinemia replied to tanthalas's topic in General Nursing

    The implications of introducing oneself as their screenname are far too humorous to address your very valid point. - I plan to pursue DNP at some point in the future after I finish my RN, but I think...

  2. NG Tube Yields 2000 ml Immediately

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Nurse_Advocate's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a second-semester student. We actually had a lecture on the importance of the NG tube as a treatment for SBO from one of the local general surgeons. I can't believe she waited two days which such...

  3. OB Rotation is Hell

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just had my L&D rotations yesterday and last Wednesday. All in all, I was rejected by 6 patients. I got to see quite a few c-sections, but nearly all vag deliveries were G1's and didn't want a...

  4. GN Internship/ Residency Programs in Tx Medical Center

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Nurse McDreamy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Methodist says they only hire BSNs but this isn't exactly true. I'd try to get hired before graduation as a nurse tech and then they don't really care about your degree. An ADN grad that worked at...

  5. male nurses with beards

    hypocaffeinemia replied to nrsman1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have a beard and 'stache. My hospital and my nursing school are fine with it so long as I continue to pass N95 fit

  6. Anyone starting Tomball fall08?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to misserella8036's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was the one that mentioned that. The students we ran into at Nexus last semester informed us they spend the entire first semester at Nexus. We moved on to Memorial Hermann TW about 4-5 weeks into...

  7. If you retake a class that you previously had a C in

    hypocaffeinemia replied to waiting2getin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here, they take the new one for GPA purposes, but the old one stays on your transcript with some sort of designation that it was repeated. Your mileage may

  8. mag sulfate

    hypocaffeinemia replied to obnursessco's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow! I didn't even realize this is in the L&D board! I'm waaay out of my league here. I just saw the topic on the front page "Discussions" tab and dove in. Now I feel

  9. mag sulfate

    hypocaffeinemia replied to obnursessco's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't claim to be an expert, but I was under the impression that Calcium gluconate only serves to stabilize membrane potentials in nervous and muscle tissue; it doesn't provide any actual increased...

  10. "Risk For" Diagnoses

    hypocaffeinemia replied to am0r803's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you answered your own question. Simply, if there were evidence to support a particular diagnosis, it wouldn't be a risk; it'd be a

  11. mag sulfate

    hypocaffeinemia replied to obnursessco's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Indeed. What babyktchr stated is essentially a logical fallacy known as "Appeal to Nature". However, from basic chemistry we should know that different salts, when dissolved in the same solution...

  12. Healthy Infant Nursing Diagnoses

    hypocaffeinemia replied to angel2008sn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Note: I'm just a nursing student, but also a recent parent. A three week old full-term infant waking up 2-3 times a night to eat is absolutely normal in every way to the best of my knowledge....

  13. arterial vs capillary glucose sample and a disagreement @ work

    hypocaffeinemia replied to november17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i think the article you're looking for is this: comparison of point-of-care and laboratory glucose analysis in critically ill patients am. j. crit. care., jul 2007; 16: 336 - 346. here's...

  14. Pharmacology at Lone Star College System

    hypocaffeinemia replied to CurlyGirlie's topic in Texas Nursing

    I haven't had Licia Clowtis yet, but she's one of the instructors for the second year ADN program, and she's incredibly nice. She's also a fami/pedi nurse practitioner which would likely provide some...

  15. Anyone starting Tomball fall08?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to misserella8036's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know that Tomball spends a lot more time in LTC than we do. We have a total of four weeks I think before moving to acute care. My clinical group was the only one in an LTACH, the rest were in SNFs....

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 2008el's topic in Texas Nursing

    Memorial Hermann, Methodist, and St.

  17. Anyone starting Tomball fall08?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to misserella8036's topic in Texas Nursing

    Maybe respiratory, radiology (I think they wear grey, though), or physical therapy. Some of the Tomball students shared a clinical site with us (Nexus, an LTAC in The Woodlands) at the beginning of...

  18. mag sulfate

    hypocaffeinemia replied to obnursessco's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Micromedex says they're Y-site compatible, with syringe and admixture compatibility untested. They cite the following reference: Trissel LA, Leissing NC: Trissel's Tables of Physical Compatibility...

  19. GN Internship/ Residency Programs in Tx Medical Center

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Nurse McDreamy's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have friends that had a great time and learned a bunch in an ICU internship at Methodist. You also can't go wrong with Memorial Hermann- especially if you're wanting to do more shock/trauma/burn...

  20. Anyone starting Tomball fall08?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to misserella8036's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm at Montgomery, but as for scrub color all the Lone Stars have to wear this horribly awful combination of white scrub top with "Sea Green" or teal-ish pants. Solid white shoes, too, which is...

  21. New grad starting salary- St-Luke's houston, TX

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 2008el's topic in Texas Nursing

    I work for one of the "big three" and GN starting pay is $23.50 as of May 2007. I haven't heard from any of this year's new grads-- hopefully it will raise a bit before I get out next

  22. Last Name on ID Badges

    hypocaffeinemia replied to phillyrn10's topic in Emergency

    I don't think that your last name would be protected under "right to privacy". Last names are very clearly public information. I don't know any doctors, lawyers, CPAs, and so on that refuse to use...

  23. Lone Star Students and Hep B

    hypocaffeinemia replied to toonces73's topic in Texas Nursing

    We do the 6 months ones @ Montgomery. Had a Hep B clinic last Friday, with us nursing II's giving our first IM shots on lucky

  24. Intubation

    hypocaffeinemia replied to rnwithtof's topic in General Nursing

    You'd understand RedCell if you had read House of God. It seems his persona is an extension of the Fat Man's, and I'm personally loving it. Very

  25. Which cpr?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to misserella8036's topic in Texas Nursing

    To the best of my knowledge, any and all certifications from the AHA are two years in length. The best place to go for training is a local hospital. I work at Methodist Willowbrook when I'm not in...
