  6. Jealous Wife!!!

    Kymmi replied to AfloydRN's topic in General Nursing

  9. Insulin, Potassium, & Acidosis

    Kymmi replied to suzysuzy's topic in MICU, SICU

  12. Family MD charging office fees for renewing RXs

    Kymmi replied to timpanzee's topic in General Nursing

    I do not see where charging a fee for refills is out of line....it takes time for the MD to review the chart and for the office staff to phone the script in. As far as not having your best interests...

    Kymmi replied to Bugaloo's topic in General Nursing

    If the code team arrived about 3 minutes AFTER you started CPR then I do not understand why only 6 compressions were done and no drugs given while awaiting the code teams arrival. The way I see it...

    Kymmi replied to ThisIsntSybil's topic in General Nursing

  16. Can't believe they do CRRT this way...

    Kymmi replied to jbp0529's topic in MICU, SICU

    I understand what you are saying jbp0529-----First the usual rate for replacement fluid is 1000 to 1500 cc/hr and our hospital does use 3L bags. I think its crazy to run 1000 cc bags and Im surprised...

  21. Does this scare anyone but me?!?!?!?!?

    Kymmi replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree........A weapon is a weapon and if he would have walked in off the street with it it would not have been allowed. What I do not get is why you think he was "drug seeking"....he was just...

  23. Question about CPR card....

    Kymmi replied to trsa34's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
