  1. Too much oxygen?

    FlyingScot replied to RN_EMT's topic in General Nursing

    For your edification google Mustard/Senning and arterial switch procedures. Also look up shunting related to TGA kids both pre and post op. Have one of the cardiovascular surgeons or NPs draw you a...

  2. huber needle

    FlyingScot replied to spma1234's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Except in this case the OP didn't seem to be particularly concerned about the result of her poor decision making skills outside of how it would affect her. Nor did she express any remorse, she just...

  3. Too much oxygen?

    FlyingScot replied to RN_EMT's topic in General Nursing

    Was this child repaired and if so what procedure was done? No this is not "overboard". Too much oxygen on a kid with CHD can kill

  4. Can you have piercings in the nursing program?

    FlyingScot replied to choomtop's topic in General Students

    I'm betting just flipping it up isn't going to cut it for clinicals what's more I seriously doubt you'll be able to keep that particular piercing while working. I've never worked anywhere that would...

  5. IV Therapy Precept

    FlyingScot replied to ktlaporta's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    So you'll be on a unit where you'll be able to observe PICC line insertions as well as PICC care including dressing changes, flushes and trouble shooting. In addition you will be caring for patients...

  6. IV Therapy Precept

    FlyingScot replied to ktlaporta's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

  8. huber needle

    FlyingScot replied to spma1234's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I had a mental image of a major flouncing out of the room episode coupled with a door slam followed by a few hours of sulking.

  9. IV Therapy Precept

    FlyingScot replied to ktlaporta's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    What is an "IV therapy" floor? Never heard if such a thing. Are you in the

  10. huber needle

    FlyingScot replied to spma1234's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm sorry, but I find it hard to believe if the OP was trained to access medi-ports that she didn't KNOW what she was doing was very wrong. If she wasn't trained to access medi-ports then she had...

  11. My sisters wedding is when I'm in my 1st year of nursing school?

    FlyingScot replied to ateka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a thought. You do realize that once you become a working nurse you WILL be sacrificing family time. You will have to work some holidays, you might not be able to take vacation exactly when you...

  13. Honest View of Nursing

    FlyingScot replied to Acromic's topic in New York Nursing

    I still don't understand what the OP is saying when talking about "murders" and the "usual fare" in the context of this

  14. Is it OK to discipline nurses extra for calling in sick on a holiday?

    FlyingScot replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes but by doing that you pretty much accused the person who made that statement of giving poor nursing care when in reality she was 100% correct about why we are in the situation we are. It IS...

  15. Honest View of Nursing

    FlyingScot replied to Acromic's topic in New York Nursing

    What "murders" in hospitals?

  16. Is it OK to discipline nurses extra for calling in sick on a holiday?

  17. Can having absence seizures prevent becoming a nurse anesthetist

    FlyingScot replied to carrollca's topic in General Nursing

    I read hherrn's post as teeming with sarcasm. Pretty sure I'm not off the

  18. ED medications pearls

    FlyingScot replied to Lev's topic in Emergency

    There's a 61 page thread in the ER forum with exactly the info you're looking for. I can't figure out how to link it on my ipad. Search "medication tidbits" and you should fine

  19. Is it OK to discipline nurses extra for calling in sick on a holiday?

    FlyingScot replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    These policies wouldn't be in place if people hadn't abused the system in the first place. We ALL have worked with "that" person at some point in our

  20. Standard Orders

    FlyingScot replied to charlesin's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Your SOCs should be from your company via your medical director and should be in writing. Any medical care that deviates from them or is needed in addition to them should be coming from the physician...

  21. Can having absence seizures prevent becoming a nurse anesthetist

    FlyingScot replied to carrollca's topic in General Nursing

    While I didn't agree with the harsh response you got from one poster I think you're missing the point. A three second seizure, especially one where you have uncontrolled extremity movements, in the...

    FlyingScot replied to carrollca's topic in General Nursing

    Jeesh, who peed in your Wheaties

  23. Need neck surgery before starting RN program

    FlyingScot replied to joiful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you have a cervical disc herniation. Been there, done that. Recovery from the surgery is no picnic. No way you'll be able to do school immediately after but the longer you put it off the...

  24. New grad looking for a job, but wants a vacation

    FlyingScot replied to Jsng11's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say it hasn't happened but most places do not hire NEW grads in PRN

  25. New grad looking for a job, but wants a vacation

    FlyingScot replied to Jsng11's topic in General Nursing

    Tell that to the hundreds and hundreds of new grads who can't find a
