    All of that important A&P/biochem stuff comes into play in pharmacology. This stuff explains the mechanism of action for various drugs... ie Ca channel blockers, Mu antagonist, Na channel...

  2. Surgical Tech.

    Jarnaes replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I was a certified surgical tech. I obtained my diploma from a community college and took the CST exam. A few years later I decided to become a RN/BSN and very little of my CST training transferred to...

  3. Will you work during a Pandemic?

    Jarnaes replied to Goju's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wonder if the results on this poll "Nurses, would you go to work during a Pandemic?" would have been different if the current H1N1 virus had turned out to be a more potent and lethal

  4. military obligation as a nurse during and after active duty

    Jarnaes replied to Dino's topic in Government, Military

    IF the military needs you, they can pull you out... Your individual needs does not supersede the needs of the military. I don't know much about the scholarship option, but in most cases, once you...

  9. typical day for Active Duty M5-er's

    Jarnaes replied to Staczse7's topic in Government, Military

    The patient load is the same as any civillian ER. You will work a rotating shift schedule, 8 hour, 12 hour or a combination. You are responsible for your own physical training (PT) as your work...

  10. Military Medics/Civilian Qualifications.

    Jarnaes replied to twistedpupchaser's topic in Government, Military

    The military hospitals take care of the soldiers, their family members, and the retirees. We have cradle to grave service. We are exposed to the same population segments as the rest of you. In...

  11. Veteran thinking of QUITTING LPN SCHOOL

    Jarnaes replied to Tony1790's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Is there any way you can do both... Usually the government's hiring process is pretty slow. So maybe you can accept the position but negotiate a deferred start date, or maybe work some type of shift...

  12. Surgeons who don't know what they are doing

    Jarnaes replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    Wow...I'd take it up with my supervisor. But on another note, one of the old surgeons that I work with loves to teach. He will ask the tech what to do next as a learning check. If the tech states "I...

  13. Most disgusting thing you have witnessed or taken part of on the job?

    Jarnaes replied to Solid Snake's topic in General Nursing

    Inmates are ingenious when it comes to getting over on the system. They have nothing but time to find and exploit a weakness in the system. Go work in corrections, you'll be amazed... This particular...

  14. Most disgusting thing you have witnessed or taken part of on the job?

    Jarnaes replied to Solid Snake's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked at the prison we had an inmate who charged BIG bucks for the use of his stoma. I guess in someone's twisted mind it didn't quite qualify as a gay event, so he found his niche in the...

  15. Can I scream?

    Jarnaes replied to Aneroo's topic in School

    The problem is that most non-medical people see no harm in giving someone a Motrin. I would educate the principal/administration on the legal liabilities that they would incur should a student have a...

  16. Lesbian L and D nurse

    Jarnaes replied to AudreyHurston's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I do not care what your sexual orientation is, just do you job and do it well. We even have quite a few lesbian nurses on active duty in the Army. Unfortunately, they are forced to keep their...

  17. California Corrections RN Position Interview: What Should I Wear?

    Jarnaes replied to Nooksta's topic in Correctional

    We had a nurse show up in her white almost see through super tight nursing uniform dress with a red thong. Needless to say, she was not selected to work as a nurse at the jail. Still trying to figure...

  18. Yahoo medical groups and HIPAA

    Jarnaes replied to Wondering501's topic in General Nursing

    HIPAA is a federal requirement, so it applies everywhere. In example, I'm an OR nurse so can tell you surgical details about a bad femur fracture I assisted with, but I have to let the patient and...

  19. Trauma Set Counts

    Jarnaes replied to chazarama's topic in Operating Room

    Chaz, I'm with you, I'm old school too. :) I have done my fair share of traumas and think the best policy is to count in the room, and if it wasn't done for whatever reason, then you do a X-ray to...

  20. "Take care of my mom!"

    Jarnaes replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    You could also notify your facility's risk manager, I'm pretty sure they would NOT allow this situation to

  21. Considering nursing

    Jarnaes replied to bigcanoe's topic in Men in Nursing

    You may also want to check out a MSN bridge program since you already have a B.A. That way you can go back to school and get your master's in nursing all in one swoop. This combined with all your...

  22. What do you want O.R. nurses to do during a trauma alert?

    Jarnaes replied to linda2097's topic in Emergency

    No patient will ever get rushed to the OR without notice, but that precious time you spend rushing through the hallway could have been better spent getting your stuff ready. That's all. In the end it...

  23. What do you want O.R. nurses to do during a trauma alert?

    Jarnaes replied to linda2097's topic in Emergency

    Yes, the majority of the time you'll have time to go down to the ER and check it out, and wait for the case to get posted. BUT when you do have one of those massive trauma cases, you are not going to...

  24. What do you want O.R. nurses to do during a trauma alert?

    Jarnaes replied to linda2097's topic in Emergency

  25. How late do your surgeons do electives?

    Jarnaes replied to linda2097's topic in Operating Room

    We like to finish off the majority scheduled cases by 5PM, of course there will be a few stragglers, usually about 5 or 6 rooms running late on a daily basis. We have to have staff and rooms...
