    FlyingScot replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem03/chem03291.htm I'm still going with something falling off the heater arm into an oxygen enriched environment and igniting the blankets. In order to have...

  2. Incubator Fire Badly Burns Minn. Newborn

    FlyingScot replied to dawngloves's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Something terrible happened for sure but it wasn't the oxygen catching on fire. Oxygen doesn't burn it just makes anything flammable burn faster and at a greater intensity. Static would probably not...

  3. Why Do Crna Gets Paid So Much?

    FlyingScot replied to disboibdavid's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You clearly have no understanding of what we do or how often we do it and I am too tired of this argument to continue it. In my previous posts I stated how much respect I have for CRNA's for their...

    FlyingScot replied to KBoo's topic in Ohio Nursing

    FlyingScot replied to Anmarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    If you want Level I your only choices are OSU and Grant (or Children's if you want peds). OSU is unionized. Grant is in the middle of the inner city. My best friend works at OSU in the ER. Granted...

  9. Attention all EMTs

    FlyingScot replied to Christie RN2006's topic in General Nursing

    The AHA is pretty clear that all of their classes (ACLS, PALS,BLS) are educational tools only and do not "license" the cardholder to perform procedures such as intubation. State and facility policies...

  10. Attention all EMTs

    FlyingScot replied to Christie RN2006's topic in General Nursing

    This is not true in all states. In the state of Ohio an EMT-B CAN intubate if the person is pulseless and not breathing. We are no longer being taught to use a Combitube. As to the original question....

  11. Change of shift admissions

    FlyingScot replied to kittymom's topic in General Nursing

    It's not the ER nurses!!!!!! Many ER docs are notorious for filling their rooms then holding their admits until the very last possible moment to avoid having to start a new workup. EVERYBODY knows...

  12. Charge Nurses: What sort of nurses working under you do you like/dont like?

    FlyingScot replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

  14. Nsg care of hypotensive pt

    FlyingScot replied to OncNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    That may be so but it also decreases the patient's ability to breathe and increases intrathoracic pressure causing a subsequent decrease in venous return which may or may not worsen the situation. In...

  15. Do people audit your nursing notes at your workplace?

    FlyingScot replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    No, we do not correct ours as that would be illegal. Instead we are given an audit report on every chart we do whether there are mistakes or not. If we have not complied with policy it is noted on the...

  19. What would you do?

    FlyingScot replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    I'd try and switch with someone and if that doesn't fix the problem I'd suck it up and work the shift. I wouldn't like it but I'd do it because the alternative is to screw my coworkers and I'm sorry...

    FlyingScot replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

  24. Pros....How do you do it?

    FlyingScot replied to TonyFl's topic in General Nursing

    There are many different responses to the tough situations that we see and not all of them are healthy. As a seasoned nurse who has worked for over 20 years in what I think might be the "worst of the...

  25. Pressors and Sepsis

    FlyingScot replied to CraigB-RN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Aye, that's the rub. The literature I referred to earlier was a study done by Columbia (I think the doc was Manuel Rivera) on sepsis treatment in the ER that found that those patients who had CVL's...
