  1. Propofol for conscious sedation?

    tvccrn replied to EMTSNA's topic in Emergency

    The use of propofol and ketamine is governed by the Board of Nursing for each state. Here in Wisconsin, an RN can administer as long as there are personel present who can insert and manage advanced...

  2. Alternatives to Strangling

    tvccrn replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have an answer in a comment that your DH made. It was the one about you not being part of that family. To me, when you marry someone, you marry their family. It may not always be the...

  3. $8000.00 Penalty for Quiting Critical Care Nurse Residency Program Before 3 Years

    tvccrn replied to krazykev's topic in General Nursing

    Having the contract examined by an attorney is a great idea. That way you know if and when you can do something to get around the stipulation. Yes, the area ia more conservative, but with the clinic...

  4. $8000.00 Penalty for Quiting Critical Care Nurse Residency Program Before 3 Years

    tvccrn replied to krazykev's topic in General Nursing

    If you are from Wisconsin and this program is in the center of state, I believe I work at the hospital you are considering. If so, please consider this. We are a level 2 trauma center and get...

  5. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    tvccrn replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    I am not atheist, but I am pagan. I have found that when a patient asks me to pray for them, I simply do as others here have suggested and tell them I am keeping them in my thoughts. Being Wicca in...

  7. Physicians Assistant Doesn't know what FEMA is?

    tvccrn replied to KarynicaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe she is a PA that works in something other then emergency medicine. I have been a nurse for over 13 years and not until Katrina did I learn what FEMA was. As for the "countless hours" of...

  8. Do birth plans grate on your nerves?

    tvccrn replied to cradlecrewer's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You failed to say this in your original post. The scenerio you presented there said nothing about complications. Had you started on that path to begin with, you probably wouldn't have met with as...

  11. Does anyone else get tired of the meetings?

    tvccrn replied to rn-n- 2005's topic in General Nursing

    I think we should have a meeting to discuss if we are tired of meetings.

  13. BP question....

    tvccrn replied to Kiringat's topic in General Nursing

    Doh!! You're right, it's been so long I got mixed up.

  14. BP question....

    tvccrn replied to Kiringat's topic in General Nursing

    Another off the wall thing: the patient could have coarction. I know that with the kiddos if we get differing readings fro top to bottom that is one of the things they look

  15. Dumbest Pt Family Statement or Question

    tvccrn replied to Gabe's GirlLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Really sad situation. Father of baby not employed was taking care of baby while Mom worked her a$$ off at the mill. Baby wouldn't stop crying so dad put the child into a sleeper hold. Respiratory...

  16. Curious

    tvccrn posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't work in OB, but in interventioal radiology and we had a patient recently who had uterine cancer as an infant and a hysterectomy at 9 months. Is this something that others have seen or is this...

    tvccrn replied to tvccrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My first thought was how bad I felt that she would never have children, then I wondered what a entire lifetime on HRT would do to a

  18. Huge dilemmas...advice please!!

    tvccrn replied to Jessica415's topic in General Nursing

    Where are you locagted? In Wisconsin, a nurse extender is already a nurse, they work for physicians and make good money. They also have to have at least a Bachelors degree to even be considered for...

  19. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    tvccrn replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    southernbeegirl, I would think that this post is worse toward obese people than the one from rph3664 that you singled out. After all, they admit to holding back laughter after starting off with a "ha...

  20. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    tvccrn replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't do well with "people who are overly gossipy, rude, nosy, lazy, thin skinned and judgemental" then you will not do well in nursing. You just describe a large portion of the patient...

  21. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    tvccrn replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    One problem I see with you getting a "huge sign on bonus".....they generally come with a commitment. Most places require at least a 2 year commitment if they give you a sign on bonus and that goes up...

    tvccrn replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

  24. Epidemic of dumb!

    tvccrn replied to 33-weeker's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She didn't say it was against her religion, she said that she worked in a catholic hospital and couldn't mention it. I work in a catholic hospital, yet I'm not catholic and I certainly believe in...

  25. What to expect during a sleep study?

    tvccrn replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I was scheduled to go in for a sleep study as I snore loud enough to wake the dead according to my family (I have never heard myself snore, so I'm inclined to disbelieve them. ). Anyway, I cancelled...
