    glamgalRN replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital policy is it must go through a 20 gauge or larger IV. I did run blood through a 22g once (got an order from the MD for that) when I was a new nurse and it took forever to go through and I...

  12. ICU vs PCU

    glamgalRN posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    What's the difference between ICU and PCU? Obviously the patients in the PCU are going to be more stable, but will they still be on vents? Do you think most of them will be awake and alert? Thanks...

  21. Job Offered... Now What

    glamgalRN replied to RD_Congo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you need to play it by ear. If it seems like it's going to be a while before you hear back from your 1st and 2nd choice jobs, without a doubt take a the 3rd choice job. That's what I would do...

  22. Best Department for new Grad

    glamgalRN replied to Liz520's topic in First Year After Licensure

  24. Entry Level RN Jobs

    glamgalRN replied to revolution's topic in First Year After Licensure
