  1. How do you really feel about AA and would you go that route now if you could do over?

    RedCell replied to kukukajoo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    jwk, no offense intended wih my previous statement man, I call damn near everything a

  2. Do your OBs underestimate EBLs?

    RedCell replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Everybody underestimates blood loss. Multiple studies have been done on this and it seems every time the practitioner is way off on the actual loss. Here is one study on midwives and physicians....

  3. How do you really feel about AA and would you go that route now if you could do over?

    RedCell replied to kukukajoo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you are in nursing school, and will soon become an RN why would you want to go to AA school? These guys have been around since the late 60's, thanks to three anesthesiologists that thought AA's...

  4. ER nurse going to Med-Surg

    RedCell replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Expect for the nurses to all come to you for the difficult intravenous sticks. That is what happened to me when I went to open heart

  5. How long before NPs will be able to do surgery solo?

    RedCell replied to platon20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    orthopod=bone

  6. How long before NPs will be able to do surgery solo?

    RedCell replied to platon20's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Agreed, with the exception of orthopods. All those guys have to know is how to bang a hammer really hard. So easy a caveman could do it. I've never heard of an orthopod knowing much about...

  7. Bizarre doctor's order

    RedCell replied to rn undisclosed name's topic in General Nursing

    This does not seem absurd to me. Sounds like he was covering his a$$ like any practitioner would do. I think it is probably just his way of letting the family know that for the time being, a...

  8. low o2 sats after ORIF?

    RedCell replied to crissrn27's topic in General Nursing

    Chest films are of little value in dx of PE's. Sounds like the roto-rooter service needs to be consulted. It seems like events in this population always follow the same pattern. Start with a fall,...

  9. low o2 sats after ORIF?

    RedCell replied to crissrn27's topic in General Nursing

    Unless the dude has a high spinal, I would not exclude a PE. Fat embolisms are fairly common in suckers who have had their hips replaced/fixed etc... Might want to see about getting a chest CT or V/Q...

  10. GRE Score question

    RedCell replied to justme1972's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't worry too much about this test. It is basically similar to the SAT in a computer adaptive format. Scores range from 400-1600. The test consists of a quantitative and verbal reasoning section...

  11. Graduation Songs

    RedCell replied to sg6307's topic in General Nursing

    First choice would be Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet. Maybe you can follow it up with Whiskey River by Willie

  12. Tell me what school is like...

    RedCell replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Clinicals are really cool with lots of fantastic drugs and toys to play with and learn about. Up at 0430 to cruise on in to the OR and set up my anesthetic and machine. Usually have seen my first...

  13. 5% albumin

    RedCell replied to Susan9608's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty slick dude, but what if I wanted to dilute my albumin down to 3.14%? Just

  14. Neosynephrine compatibility problem

    RedCell replied to jayjaykay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    phenylephrine is compatible with norepinephrine. http://www.vhpharmsci.com/pdtm/monographs/phenylephrine.htm if you are still worried you can always put the diprivan with your crystalloid solution or...

  15. How often are you sick???

    RedCell replied to LanaBanana's topic in First Year After Licensure

    never get sick...do hangovers

  16. Instructor says textbooks are wrong about urine output

    RedCell replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if I offended you, and open minds are great, however facts are facts. Americans are getting fatter, UO should be 0.5ml/kg/hr, and yes, miller is the master. Sure, not every American is fatter,...

  17. Instructor says textbooks are wrong about urine output

    RedCell replied to Alpha13's topic in General Nursing

    Urinary output should be a minimum of 0.5ml/kg/hr, in newborns 1ml/kg/hr or greater. Anything less is considered oliguria. Multiple studies however, have shown no correlation between urine volume and...

  18. NG Tube placement and tube feeds??/ (M)

    RedCell replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    I never stopped the TF until the patient spiked a fever! Seriously though, I believe the gold standard is to verify NG placement with gastric pH testing. I realize this is not available in all...

  19. CRNA school without a BSN

    RedCell replied to bman's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is inaccurate

  20. TPN with insulin

    RedCell replied to gtmoore's topic in General Nursing

    Why does your facility require a witness before administering insulin or

  21. What can you do with a MSN vs BSN?

    RedCell replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    what a strange

  22. What can you do with a MSN vs BSN?

    RedCell replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    If I graduate from my MSN,

  23. Help me understand Med Aides

    RedCell replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that this new job title is a hastily thought out solution to a problem that I believe will only be made worse by these unlicensed

  24. lost panties

    RedCell replied to nrsbetrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thats hillarious! I would tell her that I would like to give the underwear back, but unfortunately, at present time I am wearing them. That probably would not go over so well

  25. NP vs CRNA- Which one?

    RedCell replied to kukukajoo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm curious, was this professor a CRNA? If you want to be a CRNA, then go to nurse anesthesia school. I don't think putting the effort into getting an FNP license would be to your benefit. I know many...
