  1. Returning wasted blood to a line?

    Dakkon76 replied to aquaphoneRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I don't see how this addresses the issue of clotting? I was told by an RN during my precepting that studies had been done showing a great deal of blood loss per patient because of wasting... but I...

  2. Leave and say nothing,or leave and report?

    Dakkon76 replied to eliseb's topic in General Nursing

    Ask yourself what you would want done if your family member was there... or if you were there. Your commitment is to the patient, not the organization. Not to report them pretty much violates anything...

  3. Desperate Please Reply!!!!!

    Dakkon76 replied to gatorh's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'd start by asking the question... how did you come to this broad

  4. Quick info on SBAR?

    Dakkon76 posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    I was just asked if I knew much about SBAR and I did a really quick search online. It sounds like this is some sort of universal inter-disciplinary system? Can anyone point me in the right direction...

  5. Apollo College

    Dakkon76 replied to remrimsgems's topic in General Nursing

    LCSC was named top nursing school in Idaho this year. I agree that NIC isn't the best, unfortunately I think they're far from it. However, all I've heard about Apollo College is bad things, regardless...

  6. Causes of unequal pedal pulses

    Dakkon76 replied to Dakkon76's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Well I hope it's not a medical emergency, because this topic is over 2 months old

  7. Causes of unequal pedal pulses

    Dakkon76 posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    This may be a stupid question, but I've asked a few nurses that I know and they weren't possitive that they were coming up with everything either, so I thought I'd give it a shot on here. What are...

    Dakkon76 replied to remrimsgems's topic in General Nursing

    actually, lcsc was awarded top school in idaho this year, and north idaho college just got a brand new health science building with all new equipment and a dedicated nursing lab. where are you getting...

  9. Betcha Never Heard of This One!

    Dakkon76 replied to dollsdc2rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ...Huh?

  10. Good Critical Care Publications?

    Dakkon76 posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    I'm an RN about to go into my last semester where I'll be doing some ICU/CCU/PCU precepting. Upon graduation I'm hoping to land a job in critical care, preferably ICU. Just wondering what nursing...

  11. My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    Dakkon76 replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm still a few years away from even thinking about applying to a CRNA program, and yet I'd prefer to know the effects of a drug before I take it. A quick look at Wikipedia is enough to convince me...

  12. Ampules still being used, Ouch!

    Dakkon76 replied to NurseyPoo's topic in General Nursing

    I say go to the ER for stitches next time it happens. A few write-ups of this incident may prompt some change faster than any other means

  13. What do I do? (long)

    Dakkon76 replied to ChrgRN's topic in General Nursing

    It would depend on the rule. If it's a dismissable offense, it must be pretty serious even though it has nothing to do with patient care. Otherwise, I'd suggest that you tell management that you'll...

  14. ER-101...Route/Meds/Terms

    Dakkon76 replied to shill's topic in Emergency

    Everyone should still know what they mean, because you'll encounter them being used when they shouldn't be... and considering that since they aren't norms anymore and may not be taught, I think it was...

  15. "Just" a 2-year degree

    Dakkon76 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get this very much, but I HATE the fact that our 2 year ADN program is really a 4 year degree. The program is so competitive that you've got to have all of your prereq's done and if you get a...

  16. 2nd thoughts about being a nurse

    Dakkon76 replied to smileysenior's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds to me like you need to work for a better hospital that understands the value of a good preceptorship and what it means down the road... not to mention what it means for the safety of their...

  17. Adn's Who Don't Care

    Dakkon76 replied to nursing4me23's topic in General Nursing

    You've got to have a reason to get it, otherwise there's no point. Either you want to consider a management position later down the road, or you want to get into advanced practice... if you don't,...

  18. Is Everybody Moving to California?

    Dakkon76 replied to Sheri257's topic in California Nursing

    I wish everyone who moved from California here to Idaho would go ahead and move back... looking at things from this side it seems like a mass migration from Cali to Northern

  19. Is 26 too old to go back to school?

    Dakkon76 replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    That amazes me that someone has told you that! I was 24 when I went back and everyone I knew was completely supportive. You're never too old to go back. If you don't like your career, why stick with...

  20. My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    Dakkon76 replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree... and considering the damaging effects of ecstacy... these people have to be completely [suggested edit by mod] ... you get the

  21. Torn between CRNA and MD...

    Dakkon76 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm wondering if any others have had a hard time deciding? I've still got a year before I complete my BSN and I can't wait to get to ICU. The more and more I think about it (and the more MD's I talk...

  22. Ok, now my grades are starting to worry me...

    Dakkon76 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To start with, since this is my first post... Hello! So I've been set on CRNA for the past 3 years and I've been pretty careful of my grades. The RN program I'm currently in is extremely competitive...

  23. Torn between CRNA and MD...

    Dakkon76 replied to Dakkon76's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    How does pay work going the MD route? Do you get paid anything for your internship or residency, and if so does anyone know how much? There's no way I could justify going 9 years w/o getting paid

  25. Looking for a great ICU flow for RNs to organize their shift

    Dakkon76 replied to christen13's topic in MICU, SICU

    I've got one that I've been working on too, but I'm not sure how well it will work for ICU. I'm currently a 2nd year RN so I'm floating all over, and it seems to work well for that. I'll need to make...
