  1. Anesthesia

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

    Paracetamol is acetaminophen, isn't it? I had no idea you could even give that IV. Is that just for pain relief, or is it another use entirely? recurarization. This

  2. Anesthesia

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

    Meds like Ketamine are very fast acting, IIRC. I know the vet used it when she neutered my mom's dog, and she said we had to be careful not to stimulate him (I was patting him) because of the fast...

  3. Anesthesia

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

    Well, yeah, that's what I meant, but if I stopped to think about that I'd have lost the question I wanted to ask. I have a one-thought mind lately. Won't school be

  4. Anesthesia

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

    So in every ER-type show ever, there are situations where they could/should have used RSI but don't because it doesn't add to the

  5. Anesthesia

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

    This is really interesting, thanks. Another question for you: as I understand it, sedation is fairly easy to reverse; is it the same case with

  6. Anesthesia

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

    Interesting. I'm having a procedure this month and now I'm going to pepper the anesthesiologist with questions. They love that, right? Wait, though, that brings up a question. Why use them during...

  7. What classes are you taking Spring 2010?

    cmonkey replied to TamiLee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NONE! Mwahahaha! One semester off before I start core

  8. If you have rec' d the H1N1 vaccine - please report

    cmonkey replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    DD2 and I got the IM, DS had the flumist. Easy peasy. They need boosters in a couple of weeks, and I figure that'll be fine too. Also got seasonal flu and had no

  9. Anyone Else a Fan of Dr. OZ?

    cmonkey replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Suzanne Sommers,

  10. Gloves and injections

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Nursing

    The nurse at a local Walgreens is giving flu shots with naked hands. Some of my friends are FREAKED OUT, some don't figure it's a big deal. What IS the deal? Bad medicine or no

  11. Gloves and injections

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently there was a jug of alcohol rub, but she didn't use that, either. I don't know. I'm of the opinion that she's more at risk for injury/contamination than I am, but I got my shot from someone...

  12. How much walking do you have to do every day?

    cmonkey replied to Bill Levinson's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, my MIL's sister has a pair and they're the dorkies things on earth, but she swears by them too. What is it about them that makes them so great? Do they help your back or your legs more, do you...

  13. Fall 2010!!!

    cmonkey replied to mom2_3boys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Accepted fall '10 to WITC in Superior (ADN). I have to take speech. Bleh. I'm doing it online. Wha-? I still have an incomplete from pathphys last year when my DD2 was born, but my teacher is super...

  14. A&P I is not going well

    cmonkey replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suspect I may be speaking for a lot of people in this thread when I ask: what, exactly, is it that you are trying to get out of this discussion? Are you just venting, in which case you might want to...

  15. Ideas to honor student at graduation who passed away

    cmonkey replied to Ferwhat's topic in General Students

    I think starting a fund to help pay for books for parents in school would be a nice thought. If everyone in the class kicked in $20, and it went into a scholarship account, someone could have a book...

  16. A&P I is not going well

    cmonkey replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    True, you're not shooting them down, but you don't seem to be taking many of them too seriously, either. I think you should drop it and take it at another school, if you need lecture that badly. That...

  17. Will I REALLY need to know that?

    cmonkey replied to SaraFL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a nurse (but I do play one on tv :chuckle), so I'm just tossing this out. But: I don't think you need a lot of the individual pieces of information in your head. What you need to know is how...

  18. A&P I is not going well

    cmonkey replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    iTunes U. Seriously. And the tutoring center. This is a test, even if the school doesn't intend it as one. Are you dyslexic? If you can get a dx of some sort, you can get some kind of IEP help;...

  19. A&P I is not going well

    cmonkey replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even if you're a FT student, you can still take a class online. Unless your school won't accept accredited transfers, which I don't think they can do, you CAN take it elsewhere. Ask the advisor about...

  20. A&P I is not going well

    cmonkey replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PS, it's entirely possible there's something going on in her life that's affecting her ability to teach. Not that you can call her on it, but it may be that what you're seeing is an effect of personal...

  21. A&P I is not going well

    cmonkey replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't be sorry for how you learn, there's nothing you can do about that. But you can find ways to get the information you need, in the way you need to learn it. And going to the dean is a good start....

  22. LAST case study!

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    eta: I think she may have POF due to excessive exercise. Though that doesn't explain the 2 years of trying...

  23. A&P I is not going well

    cmonkey replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a fantastic podcast from St Scholastica, right here in little old Duluth. Get his stuff. There are videos from the UC system, maybe San Diego? Cizadlo (St Scholastica) also does pathphys and I...

  24. A&P I is not going well

    cmonkey replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So find some lectures online. Go to itunes and there are LOTS of A&P lectures available for free. It sucks that you have to be a guinea pig for this new method, but you're stuck so you might as...

  25. How nursing has changed over the years...

    cmonkey replied to nurse2be2010's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot one: my grandmother had her own syringe, made of glass and steel, which she used for all patients. And she had to sharpen the needle herself. HELLO,
