   It's not an easy task. I hope it's been figured out by now since it's 2019. I wish I had the time to do that fantastic technique, but I work in Urgent Care and the kids come in one after another and I'm the only RN there. I try to show the parents, b...

   I'm so glad I saw this. I am literally sitting here on eBay trying to avoid buying expensive study guides. I've been looking for weeks now. I mean I'd imagine it's all the same material, but I'm always afraid I'm not going to know something new that ...

    Well, here I am! Been back to Nursing full time since last year when I wrote. Had a little bump in the road in May where I thought I made the wrong decision, but I got through it. Urgent Care was a good choice for me because it's not too intense, but...

    Mickey9700 replied to PICUNURSE2020's topic in Pediatric

    I went straight from school into the PICU about 11 years ago and it was scary, but if you have a good preceptor, you will be ok. Go over PALS again, so you know your meds. lab values and vitals (highs and lows). You should only have 2 patients at a t...
