    ERNurse752 replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    She was only 8 weeks, having slight bleeding, and they wanted to give Pit? I've never seen that before. Is that common? Where I work, for early pg with slight bleeding, we don't usually do anything in...

  2. Bad drug choice by DR.-scary! long rant

    ERNurse752 replied to okie2's topic in General Nursing

    If it hasn't gotten better, she should just go in to the ER. I could be wrong (help me out with the rest, OB nurses,) but I don't think preeclampsia develops until later in pregnancy. However, a...

  4. what's your "soft spot" patient?

    ERNurse752 replied to shay's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's been a bad night, so my perspective is skewed, but: 1. Anyone who is actually sick/injured 2. Anyone who doesn't treat me like dirt. 3. Anyone who says, "Thank you."

    ERNurse752 replied to Nursesuzi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ERNurse752 replied to jeanie122's topic in General Nursing

  10. Failed NCLEX

    ERNurse752 replied to pie123's topic in General Nursing

    See if your school has any recommendations for review courses. Your student health center, if you have one, may also have some good resources about anxiety/test anxiety. Is there any specific part of...

  11. Paying Fee to become a CNA

    ERNurse752 replied to Sweetpea00's topic in General Nursing

    Check with your local hospitals. Most hospitals in my area have their own classes to train people to do CNA-like duties, only they call them something else. Usually called Patient Care Tech, Patient...

  18. wrist watch, fob watch or lanyard watch?

    ERNurse752 replied to monstermunch's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've always worn a wrist watch (smooth metal Fossil too!) I always thought the fob watches looked neat, although I think it might be hard to count time during med adm or while taking pulses,...

  22. Will it ever get better

    ERNurse752 replied to michw2's topic in General Nursing

  23. Misdiagnosed in the ER :(

    ERNurse752 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Just wanted to add, situations like yours are a good example of the reason ERs always tell people to follow up with PCP/specialist/etc, b/c things may not be as they seem in the long run what they...

  24. Misdiagnosed in the ER :(

    ERNurse752 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    As you described your s/s, the first thing I thought was gout. But I already knew you were misdiagnosed b/c you said so. I think it would be very easy to misdiagnose you - you are a 36 y/o female,...

  25. Stupid People Award

    ERNurse752 replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    So would that be considered fore play? We had a guy come in over the weekend who got drunk at home and passed out. His "aunt" thought he was dead, so she started doing chest compressions. Amazingly,...
