  1. Giving Digoxin with an Amiodarone drip and HR of 48

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had a client a few nights back who had been transferred to our PCU after going into tachycardia in the 150's. (not sure what type of tach, but I'm pretty sure it was a narrow complex). The person...

  2. Giving Digoxin with an Amiodarone drip and HR of 48

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Well here were my thoughts: I came from a hospital (about two months ago) where giving dig in this circumstances would have been unthinkable (against hospital policy). The hospital (small town) where...

  3. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in General Nursing

    Basically, I went to nursing school so that one day I could move to Hawaii! As far as I'm concerned we could live as homeless people in a state park and forage off the land, but the wife demands a bit...

  4. Would this budget work on Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had posted a previous thread (now appearently removed) regarding my dream of one day living in Hawaii (which is literally the PRIMARY reason that my wife and I became nurses). Some indicated that...

  5. Could "pitch in clubs" be one way to fight Hawais' high cost of living?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in General Nursing

    One way to fight the high cost of eating out and groceries on Oahu might be the creation of "clubs" where people get together and each bring a dish. Nothing revolutionary here except these "pitch in"...

  6. Which areas in Florida are the best of the worst for finding jobs?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Understanding of course that like most of the rest of the country that jobs are hard to come by in Florida WHERE in the state has the most opportunities? We hope to move to Florida by mid to late...

  7. Could "pitch in clubs" be one way to fight Hawais' high cost of living?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Going back to the AA example from school what impressed/amazed me was that there seemed to ALWAYS be a meeting somewhere! The way I envisioned this working you would join the organization and then...

  8. Would this budget work on Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input. I had pretty much resigned myself to Oahu for several reasons. First, I felt it was the only island which offered a reasonable chance at a job. Second, although like the rest of...

  9. Would this budget work on Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    My significant other does her most expensive shopping at Wallmart and usually the clothes that we purchase come from the DAV thrift store (about half the price of Good Will). I do believe that the...

  10. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    If I earn an income which facilitates doing so I will repay the loans. However, I'm going to remain in school however long it takes to earn a BSN and then NP degree of some sort. I do not feel that...

  11. New rn desperate for advice!!!! =(

    Ceteris Paribus replied to CaliToHawaiiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well take this advice for what it is worth from someone who takes pride in being viewed as an over the top "psycho": Here's what I would do: 1. Monitor www.indeed.com daily. Use the advanced search...

  12. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input. Keep in mind that my goal is a FIVE year one. Not even I am so foolish as to think that I have a good chance of finding employment without having five plus years of experience a...

  13. Which areas in Florida are the best of the worst for finding jobs?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in Florida Nursing

    My significant other has had her license for about a month while I've only had mine for a few weeks. I'm getting calls back on most of the applications that file, but my followup working nights has...

  14. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    As a free market liberatrarian I believe that money/perks are great motivators! When I used to wait tables no doubt money was my primary goal however I gave 110% to each and every one of my customers...

  15. Nursing Resource Centers COULD these exist some day?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    The power of Allnurses to organize and inspire such a vast compendium of nursing thought, practice, news, and opinion along with the awesome existing example of the YMCA is actually what inspired this...

  16. Nursing Resource Centers COULD these exist some day?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in General Nursing

    I pay about $60.00 per month to the YMCA and really love the place. I can go there and swim, lift weights, take various free (and not free) classes ranging from karate and yoga to aerobics and fencing...

  17. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    I would argue that I would simply prefer to stay in school and take classes and continue to improve my educational base if I can do so at price that is less expensive than paying the loans directly....

  18. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    She is a pretty "matter of fact" person and doesn't care to participate in online activities especially discussion boards. She loves to socialize, but vastly prefers face to face interaction. Our...

  19. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input. I would make one point of divergence however. Just because the average stay is two years that doesn't necessarily mean that the trip wasn't worthwhile! I believe that Thor...

  20. Where in United States still has high demand/pay for nurses?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in General Nursing

    A friend of ours has three kids and is recently divorced from her husband who is on disability (he is planning on moving to Europe to live with his mom). To complicate matters further a change in...

  21. Can you find 12 hour shifts in long term care facilities?

    Ceteris Paribus posted a topic in General Nursing

    My wife and I are resolved to move to Florida from Indiana. Currently, I have one year as a PCU/medsurge telemetry RN and she has allmost 5 years in a cardiac ICU. Because the job market is so tough...

  22. Where in United States still has high demand/pay for nurses?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Well my reason for suggesting Southern California was that I had spoken with a travel agency (Access Nurses) who told me that they couldn't help me with Florida because I only had one year's...

  23. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    It's not that I was rejecting the advice. However, moving to Oahu was essentially my raison d'etre for going to nursing school! Call it a substitution for drugs, sex, prozac or food (although not...

  24. Would this budget work on Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Well one BIG expense that we currently pay is anywhere from $500.-800.00 per month for childcare! Opp's that kind of blows my Oahu budget off the map (we both work nights and when we have schedule...

  25. So what do I need to do to SUCCESSFULLY move to Oahu?

    Ceteris Paribus replied to Ceteris Paribus's topic in General Nursing

    Well keep in mind my goal "move date" is five years out! Two or three years ago the nursing job situation in Hawaii was signficantly, if not radically different and I dare hope that it may again...
