    Does anyone know a good website where I could get (free) trauma-specific CEUs? Thanks!
  12. ADIOS ANESTHESIA

    I am a little confused and trying to understand your post. Are you a CRNA now? You said you had anesthesia textbooks and 120k in debt which I think is very high for an RN or BSN education. You said you were rejected--- I'm guessing this is for CRNA...
  13. A little annoyed by this... she stated in interviews that she went to school to be a surgical tech, and equates that with being a surgical nurse. UGH! http://celebrifi.com/gossip/Minka-Kelly-Used-to-Work-as-Nurse-to-Pay-Bills-3584821.html http://www....

  15. Excepted a position in ED!

    Congrats... Get your brain ready for all the information you'll be needing to fit in!! :) I do recommend you brush up on the difference between "except" and "accept," though. :)
  16. Hey everyone, I am doing a business plan project for my MSN class. I am a little confused at the whole Medicare reimbursement part of it. I have a book here to reference and have spent lots of time searching online, but I'm not really understanding h...
  17. Religion and Nursing

    1. I am a Christian; more specifically, follower of Jesus Christ. 2. Yes, it relates to my work daily, since I believe that we should treat others as Christ did for us, and nursing provides many great opportunities to do so. 3. No, I do not ever have...
  18. Not sure if Yahoo has it right... AA description

    right. I do know what AAs, PAs, and CRNAs are... I just wanted to verify that Yahoo was wrong.

  20. Not a patient, but MANY family members lately: Looking at the Diprivan bottle--- "That's not the stuff that killed Michael Jackson, is it??!!!???" (THANKS MJ)
  21. Computers-You DON'T have to use ALL the features!

    Sounds like you and your co-workers should put together some feedback and present it to your NM. I can understand you're frustrated, but was the "little yellow bus" comment really necessary? I don't think so.
  22. Normal CVP?

    Is this due to the extra PEEP when someone is intubated? Our sepsis orders have a goal of 8-12, regardless of vented/not vented. Thanks!
  23. Ivp/ diluting med

    You would give the full 20mL after diluting it. Your dose then would be 50 mg in 20 mL NS. If you put 50 mg in 100mL, the dose would still be the same, regardless of what you dilute in in. To answer your second question, no, you do not need to dilut...
