Code blue on a beautiful little 6 y/o girl. She was in a car accident. Had no visable injuries.... Looked like she was sleeping. Never got a pulse, never got any rhythem. She has a ruptured aorta and had bleed out internally. Everyone involved in the code, docs, nurses, EMT's and the cops were all tore up and tearful afterward. I even has dreams about the code for months after. I've been involved in hundreds of codes and never had one affect me like that one.

No difference at all, same drug

I am male RN, there is a distinct lack of suitable and affordable mens scrubs. I like tops with deep pockets, sturdy materials and MALE prints. I don't wear teddy bears, butterflies and hearts but I do like dogs, cars, motorcycles, wildlife, etc. I don't wear lime green, orange, bright yellow or other loud colors. I like earth tones, blues, forest green, other NATURAL colors! I want tops that are long enough to cover the dreaded "plumbers crack" when I bend over. I want tops with shoulder room. I hate pants with ties, Give me elastic, wide waist bands and a darn zipper fly! Lots of deep sturdy pockets and no elastic cuffs. Tapered legs, with out so much extra material in the butt and hips.

I has cath this past fall. Wasn't stented though, only very minor blockage. I was off a couple days at most, probably could have went back to work the next day. Minor soreness at the cath site with some bruising for a week or so. The doc recommended limiting "streneous activity" for 2-3 days past cath. Kind of vague. RKnauber

I worked for 18 weeks straight. 11p-7a monday to friday and 7p-7a saturday and sundays. I was in my first year out of college doing a job I loved and I was desperatly needed to fill in. There were big bills from school to be paid and a lot of personal issues in my home life at the time. Working was an answer to the $ issues and an escape from a bad marriage. I will never work that way again!
