Where I work, not getting AM labs done is looked at really badly. In terms of prioritization, this is high up there. The reason is because our doctors round between 6-7am and that's when they develop...
I am applying to grad school for the Spring semester and need some help deciding what to do. I have 2 schools in my area. One is an average university, the program is relatively easy, but they offer...
I had to start a tacrolimus drip yesterday for suspected kidney rejection. Never had to before. Just wondering what you would monitor for when a pt is on a tacrolimus drip? BP? HR?.... Also, do you...
Thanks for your response. Good to know about the tubing! Just wondering- why do you do tacro drips as opposed to PO tacro? Is it more effective? Faster onset?.... Thanks

Really sounds like you have no clue about nursing. Before I started NS I volunteered at a local hospital as a Volunteer Nurses Aide. This gave me the oppurtunity to observe what rns really do and see...
On my resume and cover letter I wrote that I want to obtain a position as a "Critical Care Nurse". I will only be an RN when I get a job, not a CCRN. Is it correct to write Critical Care Nurse or...

Thank you for your response. I am applying online, and also giving a copy to the nurse manager where I am an extern. Should I address the cover letter to the nurse manager when I give it to her or the...
