  1. Pt's C/O in the ER (funny)

    kmchugh replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    I have seen this twice: First, make a mental picture of any roughly phallic shaped and sized object (PSSO), which you would never see in a shower. Got it? OK. The story always begins: "I was in...

  2. BSN's vs. Community college

    kmchugh replied to cottoncandyclouds's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Is that ticking I hear? Do I smell smoke? RUN, its a BOMB!!

  3. VA Hospitals?

    kmchugh replied to BSN2005's topic in Emergency

    You are right, it is a huge statement. But I have been to several VA hospitals and health care facilities, and have found the lack of caring and the "cattle syndrome" to be endemic to the system....

  4. Any Success with Dr. Budwig tx for cancer

    kmchugh replied to wenron's topic in General Nursing

    It would appear as though Wenron has bailed. But there is a question that has frequently occurred to me where alt med is concerned. Doesn't matter if it's hulda clark's theories, Johanna Budwig's...

  6. Fibromyalgia

    kmchugh replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    I agree, Tom. There is an incredibly high coorelation to depression. It makes most of us in anesthesia as well.

  8. Ketamine

    kmchugh replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    The first statement highlights exactly what I am saying. I have no problem with "conscious sedation." However, the minute you pick up the propofol or the ketamine, you have passed from conscious...

  10. Why do practicing CRNAs not like OB?

    kmchugh replied to Qwiigley's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    While there is some truth to what AThomas says, overall I wouldn't say that practicing CRNA's don't like OB. Oddly enough, I hated OB in nursing school, and could not wait to get away from it. I...

  11. Chemo admin while pregnant

    kmchugh replied to lady_jezebel's topic in General Nursing

    Consider how most chemo agents work. Cancer is the rapid, uncontrolled growth of cells. Chemo agents work by inhibiting (and sometimes even killing) dividing cells. Now, what is happening with the...

  12. Any Success with Dr. Budwig tx for cancer

    kmchugh replied to wenron's topic in General Nursing

    Would it then be too much to ask "Bev" to submit to a physical, by a physican of repute? Would it be too much to ask for verification of her pre-treatment diagnosis? Is there any evidence that the...

  13. Any Success with Dr. Budwig tx for cancer

    kmchugh replied to wenron's topic in General Nursing

    First, the article you posted: I've seen it before, written by a man named Tim Bolen. Mr Bolen and I have actually corresponded, and in that correspondence, he threatened me physically. He is a...

    1. Nomination for Nobel Prize: Anyone can be nominated for a Nobel prize by just about anyone else. I could nominate you for the Nobel for your post. 2. Never trust testimonials, particularly if...

  15. Ketamine

    kmchugh replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    Would that be like, say, RN's with no training in anesthesia who think they can safely give anesthetic drugs to patients? Just curious.

  16. Crossbreed Dogs

    kmchugh posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    More from my pointless internet search for humor: Crossbred Dogs Pointer + Setter Poinsetter, a traditional Christmas pet Kerry Blue Terrier + Skye Terrier Blue Skye, a dog for...

  17. VA Hospitals?

    kmchugh replied to BSN2005's topic in Emergency

    This is one of those rare places where Tom and I absolutely agree. I am a vet too, and the best thing that could happen to vets is the closure of VA hospitals with the care farmed out to local...

  18. Ketamine

    kmchugh replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    And that's what's going to bite you.

  19. Ketamine

    kmchugh replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    Unfortunately, that's not true. Anesthesia drugs have a way of sneaking up on you. What in one patient may be the correct dose, in another patient of the same size and weight the dose may have very...

  20. My poor sister-can yall help?

    kmchugh replied to tsu_girl82's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the second opinion. An Ob-Gyn will look for Ob-Gyn problems. Not necessarily the physician's fault, sort of a "default" position. But a couple of other ideas occurred to me while reading...

  21. 10/10 pain..venting!

    kmchugh replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    "I'm allergic to ibuprofen, ultram, toredol, tylenol, and aspirin, and my pain is an 11 on a 10 scale. Demerol is the ONLY thing that ever works." We've all heard

  22. What not to say / do while you are in the ER...

    kmchugh replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    "No a$$***e is going to put a needle that size (18 ga) into me!" "Okey Dokey!" while reaching for the 16

  23. ccrn (and marriage)

    kmchugh replied to preCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    First, see this thread: https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16205 Next, CCRN. If you meet the hours criteria required to take the test, study up and take it. There are study guide books...

  24. The single port IV tubing

    kmchugh replied to DustinRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You would have to describe it better, Dustin. Generally, I like tubing with a manifold so that I can connect more than one med at a time to the IV line. However, we do prefer that our tubing have no...

  25. Has anyone tried using supplement to improve their memory, and academic performance?

    kmchugh replied to Roland's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Roland This is a personal bugaboo of mine. Look, there are literally thousands of "supplements" out there, that make every claim under the sun. They claim benefits from improved memory, to increased...
