  2. recently quit pot-marijuana surprized about withdrawl.

    ERNurse752 replied to perfecthairforever's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have heard from one MD that 5-htp has been associated with rebound depression in some patients, so I just wanted to put that out there,

  3. Does this sound like "a little much" to you??

    ERNurse752 replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, one of the hospitals in my network has a nice little script to go along with it. It involves a brief rundown of your educational and professional background, as well as where to find the "snack...

    ERNurse752 replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital network is doing this too. Naturally, it isn't going over

    ERNurse752 replied to RheatherN's topic in General Nursing

    My only advice is don't trust the red bull and no doz to make you alert and safe, because they might just make you jittery, out of it, and sick. You're getting a double whammy with both a 16 hour...

  8. Time effectiveness of NaHCo3 in TCA od?

    ERNurse752 replied to NecosMom's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, you can watch it work while you're pushing it. But you might have to give repeat pushes, then a drip. We closely monitor serum potassium since giving bicarb will cause it to drop. We...

  9. Non-detectable street drugs?

    ERNurse752 replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in General Nursing

    Propoxyphene and Methadone are not tested for on most standard drug screens. They have to be specifically ordered most of the time. UDS is pretty unreliable in an ER/hospital setting due to the points...

  10. What are you paying per credit hour????

    ERNurse752 replied to bucknangler's topic in Post Graduate Students

    MSN/FNP program, private school, midwest: $540/credit

  11. Is it normal to feel this way? ;)

    ERNurse752 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So, I have *finally* made the decision to start an FNP program this fall. This comes after a few years of thinking about which road to take - NP vs. PA vs. MD vs. PharmD, etc. Now that the decision is...

  12. Question about Heimlich Maneuver and restaurants.

    ERNurse752 replied to HappyPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say they would definitely have to take a class by a certified instructor. I would not take this on yourself due to liability. You could give a list of local classes to the restaurant manager, but...

  13. NPs and PAs

    ERNurse752 replied to Erin 321's topic in General Nursing

    Check out this thread: https://allnurses.com/forums/f34/differences-educative-clinical-between-np-pa-164046.html A good discussion forum for Physician Assistants is...

  14. What is the chart called ....??

    ERNurse752 replied to cyndilouwho12's topic in General Nursing

    We call it a fishbone.

  15. what jobs in nursing dont require weekends?

    ERNurse752 replied to soroz's topic in General Nursing

    There isn't really any one area of nursing I can think of that doesn't ever require weekends, depending on the practice/hospital/setting/etc. Even some offices and outpatient centers have some weekend...

  16. Any Np wished they went to PA school?

    ERNurse752 replied to RN28MD's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    http://www.physicianassistantforum.com The object of my pimp's affection thread is in the Clinical Rotations

  17. A manager that blocks!

    ERNurse752 replied to Spring152's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto looking up your hospital's internal transfer policy. Try to keep your reasons positive, rather than focusing on the negative. "I have always wanted to be an OR nurse," vs. "I hate my job, please...

  18. inappropriate comment made by RN in front of patient

    ERNurse752 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good idea. Make her feel like *someone* there cares about her, and doesn't consider her just a big pain in the rear. I've done that many times, and they have always loved it. It will make YOU...

  19. inappropriate comment made by RN in front of patient

    ERNurse752 replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Write her up AND tell her that her comment was beyond rude, and unforgivable to say in front of a patient - much less a patient who is DYING. I would feel like a piece of crap if my nurse said that...

  20. Should I? - Surgical Tech Program in 1 year before NS?

    ERNurse752 replied to in2ICU's topic in General Nursing

    Glad we could help. :) When I was a patient care tech on ICU, I did things like bath, turning patients, vital signs, EKGs, blood draws, placing foley catheters, accu checks...oh, and stock rooms and...

  21. Should I? - Surgical Tech Program in 1 year before NS?

    ERNurse752 replied to in2ICU's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto WitchyRN. If you want to work in the ICU as an RN to get experience to apply to CRNA school, I think it would be a better use of your time to get a tech position in an

  22. I'm really curious....

  24. Colchicine, NOT clonidine!

    ERNurse752 replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen klonopin and clonidine verbally confused before

  25. looking for a job

    ERNurse752 replied to RITYLISHKA's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably do a google search for hospitals in WI, then apply online. You can upload your resume electronically that way. I'm not from that area, so I don't know any specific hosptials, but...
