  1. eKardex for Meditech

    TachyBrady posted a topic in Nursing Informatics

    I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out the best way to develop a kardex in Meditech. We recently got rid of our paper kardexes and IS developed an ekardex that pulls info from iatrics (not...

  2. eKardex for Meditech

    TachyBrady replied to TachyBrady's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Thank you mydesygn. I will find out which version of Meditech we have. We have the basic generic patient list that has name, room number age, doctor, diagnosis, etc etc that prints out as a list....

  3. eKardex for Meditech

    TachyBrady replied to TachyBrady's topic in Nursing Informatics

    That MeditechL message board is a little too deep for me. Any other suggestions for where I may find Meditech process intervention info including ekardex and/or end of shift report

    Thank you. this sounds exactly like what we need!! But we don't have it in our process interventions. How do we get it there? Is there any way I could see an example of

  8. New IOM Report Health IT and Patient Safety: Building Safer Systems for Better Care

    TachyBrady replied to rninformatics's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Health IT should: "• enhance workflow, perhaps by automating mundane tasks or streamlining work, without increasing physical or cognitive workloads" I don't think this is happening at my facility!!...

  9. Can someone please help me answer this question?

    yep Mort, pick

  10. Can someone please help me answer this question?

    TachyBrady replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Students

    This actually is a good question. The answer is D and the reasoning is that people that have CHF should be closely watching their sodium intake. A normal person eats a 4 gm sodium diet. Someone with...

  11. Preparing to present grievances to heads of hospital

    TachyBrady replied to WhatTheDeuce's topic in General Nursing

    Your department sounds too management heavy. Two unit managers and one charge nurse, none of which take patient assignments, is a waste of bodies. We are a 30 bed tele unit that shares a unit manager...

  12. EKG made fun!!!

    TachyBrady replied to MissERN's topic in Nursing Humor

    This actually is a VERY good learning tool for dysrhythmias..... the doctor's arms are the atria and his legs are the ventricles. His antics illustrate the conduction! A must-see for students!...

  15. Cardiac Nurses....have you ever....

    TachyBrady replied to Boston-RN's topic in Cardiac

    I have to disagree on a couple of points here..... many patients live perfectly well with a BP in the 90s and some even in the 80s. The reason these patients' pressures are so low is because they take...

  16. Cardiac Nurses....have you ever....

    TachyBrady replied to Boston-RN's topic in Cardiac

    While I don't recall any one specific scenario such as you describe I can guess at the MD's reasoning: 1. correct the underlying cause of dehydration and decreased HR will follow 2. by lowering an...

  17. The Usefullness of Nursing Diagnosis in Medical Decision Making

    TachyBrady replied to n_g's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    With all due respect, as a floor nurse, I am ultimately responsible for my care of a patient. My nursing assessments ARE NOT done for the benefit of the PCP but rather document the pt's condition for...

  18. Had a rough shift...need some input please!

    TachyBrady replied to al7139's topic in Cardiac

    Wow, sounds like a scary situation for you but it also sounds like you handled it very well. In my opinion, this patient should have been started on a beta blocker and an antianxiety med before...

  19. !Please help this school nurse!

    TachyBrady replied to intellinurse's topic in Cardiac

    Sounds awefully fishy to me. Unless this girl and her parents have some sort of religeous or cultural beliefs that prohibit surgical intervention, I can't imagine any physician allowing periods of...

  20. It Seems Like It's Student Nurses vs The Nursing Staff

    TachyBrady replied to APBT mom's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any reason why we can't discuss it again with new ideas and input? To the OP... sorry for your bad experiences. Just remember that not all nurses or departments or facilities, for that...

  21. atrial fibrillation versus atrial flutter in comparison

    TachyBrady replied to RVMI73's topic in Cardiac

    The majority of flutter rhythms I've seen have been controlled (ventricular rate less than 100). However, there is the occasional rhythm that Dinith mentioned that appears to be a sinus tach but in...

  22. atrial fibrillation versus atrial flutter in comparison

    TachyBrady replied to RVMI73's topic in Cardiac

    I agree. The atrial rate in atrial flutter is always between 280 and 320. Therefore the ventricular rate will depend on the rate of conduction, i.e. 2:1, 3:1, 4:1 etc. The ventricular rate will be...

  23. Did I do the right thing? *long*

    TachyBrady replied to nursesaideBen's topic in General Nursing

    What I would have done in this situation is to inform the receiving nurse during my report to him/her that the pt was not given the oxycodone. I would ask their opinion as to whether it should be...

  24. Amiodarone and Cardizem drip??

    TachyBrady replied to MedicRN151's topic in Emergency

    You could have held the cardizem for a trial of the amiodorone since the cardizem wasn't working anyway. In an emergent situation like that, what have you got to lose? I agree though that once the...
