    questions about your first code.. from a student nurse

    goats'r'us replied to tinker72's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO, if you're not touched by every code you're involved in, there's something the matter. (and before I get yelled at, I don't mean you have to be really upset, I just mean you should feel...

    goats'r'us replied to goats'r'us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    thanks for not telling me I'm crazy, even though I'm acting like it! I'm definitely not sharing these concerns with her, she's got enough to think about. that's why I came here, I figured I could air...

    Fictional-Hospital Scrubs for Real-Life Nurses

    goats'r'us replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sitting here (in Australia, where scrubs aren't really marketed) wondering if there's such a thing as Scrubs scrubs, because I would donate my right foot to science in return for a pair of scrubs...

    Necrotizing Fasciitis from a PAPER CUT

    goats'r'us replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in General Nursing

    it's amazing to think that I can have my whole hand in your chest ( I work in the OT, I don't just plunge my hands into chests for ***** and giggles) with no ill effects, but a patio scrape or a bit...

    goats'r'us replied to anticoagulationurse's topic in General Nursing

    You're quite right, but so is Nurse2033. it's true you can be al pink and scrubbed clean but still develop NF from an unfortunate scratch from something contaminated, but you can just as easily...

    emergency cases - what's your record?

    goats'r'us replied to goats'r'us's topic in Operating Room

    I've got one of these guys too. on a half day lust he'll have two or three joints and usually something else as well. I did a case once where I scrubbed for a joint, got the patient out and the next...

    Ever felt dizzy in the OR?

    goats'r'us replied to sameasalways's topic in Operating Room

    You'll be fine. Everyone feels a bit fainty now and then, but theres ways to avoid fainting, and if you do feel ill anyone who gets mad at you is a jerk. Keep well hydrated (but not *too* well...

    How many counts?

    goats'r'us replied to Mr. & Mrs. RN's topic in Operating Room

    one count for each cavity they close, and I count deep incisions as a cavity. So uterus closure - count. peritoneum closure - count. skin closure - count. Or, muscle closure and skin closure on a...

    Calling briefs "diapers"....*vent*

    goats'r'us replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I'd feel right calling them pampers, even if the patient did! I think it's for the same reason that I don't like to call them diapers/nappies - these are products for babies, and adults,...

    goats'r'us replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News
