Could anyone please please :-) give me to formula for calculating the dosage and ranges for dopamine and dobutamine? I can't seem to find it. And some people explain it making it difficult. :roll :roll

Well for those who accuses me of being obviously crazy that America is one of the most racist countries in the world I say this for those who never seen my passport WHATEVER! I have travelled abroad and I am not concerned about other countries becaus...

Barpick, Let me say this, I am entitled to my opinion, I am sick of people like yourself trying to take away someone's perception of what goes on in our lives you probaly don't think KKK, and skin heads exist? HuH! just because I can rise above degr...

Why is it when someone makes a comment re: race you get crap? First and far most I am entitled to my opinion. I am not a terrorist I don't join organizations that hate other people who do not look like them. And I sure azz hell don't attend school...

I understand the military always been pro education but the downside to that is they are paid by rank which to me means no money! Personally I don't care I have ADn in nursing and my license says RN so what is the hoopla all about. There is nothin...

I guess it depends on how you look at it. Racism exists and I personally think America is the most racist country in the world. I am just glad my parents didn't teach me to be so ignorant.

You sure can! I have a best friend who has 4 licensure in 4 different states. What you have to do is simply notify their Board of nursing in that state they will send you the paperwork. Or for some who like traveling nursing some agencies will take ...

I would never ever in this lifetime work psych. Med surg comes in a big second place at least until those patient ratios improve.

I think it is rather subjective. I work in NICU I deal with the little preemies. It is stressful but totally different than med/surg. No matter what other nurses tell you, you have to get your feet wet and find your niche.

Upon occasion when I had an exceptionally good or bad night I may vent to my husband. But on average no. I have too much going on outside my job to get wrapped up.

I feel yah! I worked in the LTC and was snuffed some staff members the next day I had my resignation and the administrator was threatening me with abandoment I laughed considering I came in on my day off! I have left several jobs for bull s***. Lif...

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!! Now that sounds ideal!!! I am sure you will do very well there. Keep us posted on your first day. I wish all facilities offer daycare it would make our lives so much better. :biggringi

We must be on the same wave lenght!!!! :-)

I would really find out what their criteria is for acceptance because that doesn't make sense you mean to tell me everyone they picked had a 4.0 gpa or better? bulls***! Sounds like discrimination in the worst way!

I knew one nurse that became a representative very happy! She says she was tired of the stress. I notice this trend a lot of nurses are going to other jobs because I guess they figure their peace of mind is more valuable than a hefty paycheck an...

Sounds like you got a bad list of high acuity patients even if the ratio is 6 if you have 2 patients that can potentially code it makes the list like 10-12. I feel ya you had no support what so ever! Unfortunately when you are off orientation you ...

Now you just stop that! The hardest part you have already done! I am sure that was no easy task! Were you really nervous? It happened to my best friend she didn't pass her boards the first time but did it the next time. She was so nervous she f...

I agree there is a difference especially when the RN is the nurse who is soley responsible for his/her patients. I find in some nursing units LVN/RN are helpful to one another. The issue isn't really about LVN's being incapable it is a matter of s...

He is 9 years old. He may like the change. He can interact with other children and makes some friends, and like the other thread mentioned before he will only be there for a short time before heading off to school. This is the trend for moms and ...

Lecia, You don't have to be new to know when you are being abused. As I mention earlier I had many jobs before I became a nurse and I never was the type to tolerate abuse. The problem with some people they mistake my kindness for a weakness becau...

I sympathize with chestahchetah situation but it is true no matter if you are a new grad or not common sense is don't let yourself be abused. I did many jobs before I became a nurse and I never would let anyone abuse me like that. When I did finall...

Being pregnant is not a disease but a condition. I don't know why they just go out on early disability so they wont hinder the schedule with their whiny demands of what they can or cannot do. Common sense tells me if I work in an area where disease ...

I am not hating anyone woman who lands a MD for a husband at least she can work less!!!!!!1

That is sad I wonder how many pts this nurse have? She should develop communication with her aids to prevent a major problem with her patients because the RN is ulitmate one responsible. That is why I do my own vitals for at least the first round t...

Sounds like a sick trend to me, I don't think so. If it is done by Chimps it must be a logical reason in THEIR Species?!!
