  9. Question about Concealed Weapons Carry

    I live and FL and have a concealed permit. Many of my buddies (RNs, CRNAs, FNPs) carry and as far as I know it has never been an issue for any of us. I highly doubt it will be an issue for you. I...

  12. AV pacing and tachy brady syndrome

    RedCell replied to ippagoggy's topic in General Nursing

    Is the source of the tachycardia pacemaker mediated? Is it an AICD/pacer or just a pacer? Does the patient have a history of a native reentrant dysrhythmia? Also, does the pacemaker have...

  14. What is the white stuff in my blood tube?

    RedCell replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

    In-N-Out Burger/Jack in the Box/Taco Bell....ask the patient what their poison is. There is a 'ton' of fatty Americans out there exploring the landscape in their motorized wheelchairs. Often they will...

  20. Interdependence mode

    RedCell replied to koku's topic in General Students

    PS: Do what I did and use that nursing diagnostic text as kindling for starting campfires. It will prove to be much more useful that way. Pay more attention to your pathophysiology and pharmacology...

  22. Pa hospital system won't hire smokers

    RedCell replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    What makes you think that. Even an organization as liberal as the ACLU with hundreds of scum sucking trial lawyers turned away from this. From the OP's referenced article: "An attorney for the...

  23. Pa hospital system won't hire smokers

    RedCell replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great policy. People that smoke smell horrible. They make it even worse when they try to cover it up with excessive creams, lotions and gum. I'd rather be stuck in a room full of used...
