I am curious if anyone has ever been in a nursing mangement position where bonuses or "perks" are recieved for meeting or coming in under budget for various operating costs of a unit? If not, have you ever heard of this type of incentive at other fa...

500/500 x 1000, divide answer by 60, then--divide by 80, gives you a constant(K=0.208) 5mcg divided by constant = 24.038 cc or 24cc/hr. Thats how I do it.

Amazing........At the time I'm reading this it's 15 screens of responses. ! 15!...in a nutshell my hat is in the ring w/ the belief that it's irresponsible and unprofessional to SLEEP while people are counting on you to take care of them. UNACCEPTAB...
