    Isotonic vs hypotonic vs hypertonic

    Anisettes replied to ornurse25's topic in Patient Medications

    All have to do with manipulating osmosis, which is the movement of fluid (specifically solutes as in salts like Na+Cl- and KCl-) across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lesser to greater...

    What's it like to be an OR nurse?

    Anisettes replied to SNIXRN's topic in Operating Room

    On a good day, very interesting. On a bad day, I have to wear my mental straight jacket so I don't punch a doc in the

    Do you think younger generations have a sense of entitlement?

    Anisettes replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I do notice it in some people, though by no means all. I think a lot of it is that people raise their kids differently these days, no one dares to even correct anyone else child no matter how gross...

    nursing care r/t pregnancy termination

    Anisettes replied to CeilingCat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree. Every person has the right to their own beliefs and opinions, but to keep medical, nursing, and scientific knowledge from a professional education is reprehensible. Reality is that abortion...

    Anisettes replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! Sounds like an awesome experience for you. You asked about what companies you could contact - not sure if they would donate but I'd suggest you make inquires to companies that...

    I would like to be a nurse in the entertainment industry...where to get started?

    Anisettes replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in Nursing Career

    TV/Movie sets often recruit paramedics over nurses because of their 'first responder' abilities - especially useful for when stunts go bad, but may also hire nurses. I believe when there are...

    New PACU/OR nurse!! Help..

    Anisettes replied to NiciNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hahaha! Good luck with that because you will learn that even if you've done EVERYTHING right - some surgeons will yell anyway (about something). That's another important thing to learn - develop a...

    Military CRNA

    Anisettes replied to cole1321's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi - I noticed your post still has received no replies - I think you would have better luck re-posting to either the CRNA forum or to the Military Nursing forum - you'll get a lot more response there....

    Dead body vs. Live patient

    Anisettes replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    No, you're not psycho. I've never personally had that experience, but that doesn't mean you didn't. Operating on the assumption that such a thing is possible, perhaps you are just more sensitive or...

    Rocephin Question

    Anisettes replied to janat's topic in General Nursing

    I had IM Rocephin about 10 years ago and don't remember it being very painful at all. I do wonder, though if it's like the reactions I've seen with IV propofol for surgical induction - patients either...

    Song Ideas?

    Anisettes replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    They played Pachabel's Canon in D for our processional followed another classical piece that I can't remember offhand. The committee in charge decided against modern or anything with lyrics. I guess...

    How to avoid daycare fees working 12hr shifts.

    Anisettes replied to Shondacat517's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I did for years when my kids were small - I worked nights, husband worked days - we simply couldn't afford the childcare. We didn't have the time overlap problem like you, but assuming...

    methadone clinic..good 1st job?

    Anisettes replied to NurseNikkiC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm thinking this poster was meaning that what must of us think is that a nurse in one of these clinics just passes out pills. I was curious as to what else you would do as a nurse in a clinic like...

    methadone clinic..good 1st job?

    Anisettes replied to NurseNikkiC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Could you explain your rationale for this opinion? I don't understand why this (or any nursing job) would be a 'black mark' on a resume. If anything I'd think the more diversified you are as a nurse,...

    How should I ask my manager...?

    Anisettes replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why you can't ask - the worst thing that could happen is your NM saying no. I see no reason why you can't just say that you've heard a day spot is opening up and that while you realize...

    Funny Sarcastic clip about ER nursing

    Anisettes replied to obnurse4u's topic in Emergency

    It's not insensitive to get burned out seeing the same things over and over. You try to educate but if people aren't receptive - you're talking out of your ass. The waste of time and the constant...

    Army Medical command and job

    Anisettes replied to pat8585's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, I'm an RN currently working under European Medcom at Landstuhl in Germany. You fall under a Medcom but work for a specific hospital. I'm assuming you mean as a civilian - if not, ever mind. :)...

    Can't seem to find satisfaction

    Anisettes replied to tinderbox's topic in General Nursing

    Please keep looking until you find your niche. I can say that I love my current job. The pay isn't great, but the satisfaction more than makes up for it. Please keep looking, you can find it, don't...

    Doctors get free food...ALL the time?!

    Anisettes replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    Not where I'm at now - but at my old hospital in the states they did. They had to stand in line like everybody else and show their badge to the cashier who would ring it up as if they were paying, (I...

    wearing makeup to work?

    Anisettes replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worn daily make-up other than mascara and usually a little brow powder as I have very pale brows and lashes and frankly resemble a chemo patient without it. I only wear foundation, eye...

    Anyone else miss nail polish?

    Anisettes replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

    I don't miss it because I've never had nails. I play the bodhrán (irish drum) and the Irish Tenor banjo and any bit of nail affects my play esp. with the bodhrán. I'm also a writer and I can't stand...

    Anisettes replied to hairtocare's topic in Emergency

    Eeeeeyeee! Yeah, it's not a pleasant feeling and if you do it a hundred times it will still be creepy. I still get kinda creeped out prepping fractured extremities for the same reason and I've done...

    Anisettes replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I had a BA in Anthropology before I got my ADN - but that was over 25 years ago. I understand that many employers list BSN and I know the job market is tight for everybody, nurses included - but...
