I never heard from Peidmont after that. I assume it means they considered you at one point but decided not to hire. You never know though. The application is filed if they want to go back and reconsider. It is confusing.

I drew cardiac enz right at the beginning of my shift. The troponin was critically elevated. The more I think about the situation she probably had a large MI. Later that night the Dr. said the same thing, so your are right. I think it was just drugs that were keeping her alive through out the night until the pt was made DNR. I feel better about the situation. I just wanted to understand everything, which I am doing due to this board!! THanks..

Thanks for all the info.. It is good to know!!!

Cool program. What is it called? I appreciate the advice. It is hard not to feel bad when a pt condition goes down hill.

I didn't give all the info. My pt was s/p cardiopulmonary arrest. The pt was unstable since she arrived. Right at the second hour after the admin of the second set of different BP meds which included the second beta blocker the BP dropped and hr went down and went in to another code. All the other nurses said that thie type of pt was already heading towards this and the BP meds didn't do this to the pt. We brought the pt back after the first code. It went on all night though. The Dr just pointed out that I gave two beta blockers. THat is why I starting questioning the administration of them. Her bp was 168 and HR of 145 at the second admin of the BP meds. I feel torn over this case and want to learn the correct actions. I know that I should have spread out my BP meds. I wasn't sure of the effect of two beta blockers would have?

Hello fellow nurses.. Need some advice, I am a new nurse (6 months) in a ICU. I administered 2 beta blockers (metoloprol 50mg and coreg 6.25mg) to a pt that had SBP of 190, HR 150. I checked with another anor nurse about administering all 4 bp meds total and was told to give them. I separated them in to two administrations on at 21 and the other at 22. Was it wrong to administer 2 beta blockers. I didn't even realize it until after administer them. Just curious?

I know this is an old post. Were you ever hired for the externship? I recently got this same response and was wondering what it meant!

Thanks for replying.. I submitted it on the 8th. Oh well it was posted just under one position (critical care) It said recieved, reviewed, frwd to manager, then filed, not hired. Must mean they are not interested.. It is competitive. GOOD Luck in your interview!!!!

I applied to the New Grad program at Piedmont. One of my applications says application filed not hired. SO does that mean I am not being considered for the position. Has anyone seen this before?
