    HR drop/rhythm change during sleep..Would you call Doc?

    Do-over replied to BandaidBunny's topic in Cardiac

    Asymptomatic sinus brady in the 40-50s and nothing else going on (blood levels WDL and VSS)? I would not call. I would make VERY sure it was not a 2nd or 3rd degree block though. That would get...

    The Mockery of Nursing

    Do-over replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What about all the occupied-bed linen changes with silk sheets? One good tug and the little old ladies may go flying across the room... The hospitals should just supply silk scrubs... No more walking...

    Do-over replied to wooh's topic in Nursing Humor

    Strangely, I've had that old Men At Work song stuck in my head lately... Everytime I see Vegemite (the do actually sell it at Meijers), I am really intrigued (have been since the 80s probably when...

    Stopping IV infusions

    Do-over replied to Ciale's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't stop any of them for bathroom trips or convenience. Simply unneccessary. Plus, if they need more than two channels on the pump, chances are very good I don't want them up by themselves...

    Who Here "Floats" to Other Units

    Do-over replied to Ted's topic in General Nursing

    Technically, I can float anywhere but L&D, but the unit is chronically short-staffed so that is where we always end up. Would rather not. I have never gotten an orientation and have just learned...

    Socializing after work in your scrubs

    Do-over replied to klone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We had that class too, except "Hygiene" was a euphenism for "Sex"... Actually, I think it was "health" class. Generally, very uncomfortable for all involved... Now I want to find that episode of the...

    Do-over replied to klone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes - I didn't realize we were so special! There has to be some reason for people to live here - I guess the availability of alcohol at odd hours is it. BUT we don't have Waffle House. Which makes...

    Socializing after work in your scrubs

    Do-over replied to klone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know, when I was younger, I wouldn't leave the house without cute clothes and full war-paint. Now, I am lucky if I remember to brush my hair. I blame midnights. SN - I really DON'T wonder why...

    Pill falls on pt gown...is it safe to give?

    Do-over replied to sle1191's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I had a patient with Parkinson's that actually wanted me to put the pills in a little valley of the bed sheet - that way the patient was able to pick up the pills with very shaky hands - the pills...

    Noc shifters

    Do-over replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I don't care to work 3 in a row - too exhausted at the end, but I do it once in awhile. My normal schedule is 2 on, 3 off, 2 on, 3 off, 2 on, 2 off - rinse and repeat. Now and again I...

    Afib with RVR vs. Uncontrolled Afib?

    Do-over replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Cardiac

    Had a customer (when I was a waitress) order a Jack and soda. He was not pleased with his drink, and he was also not from the midwest! I thought it was odd that someone would want Jack Daniels with...

    Dialysis RV Man

    Do-over replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Very cool. I wonder how they manage to hook themselves up if they don't have a catheter... Seems like it would take two hands for some folks...? Maybe they'd have to have help? Certainly not a HD...
