    HELP with ABGs and Correction by Ventilatory Settings

    Do-over replied to nursingitup9's topic in Critical Care

    Why not bipap first, instead of the venturi or the vent. Were the gases really that bad for a history of

    How do you draw up meds for IVP?

    Do-over replied to FineAgain's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I've never done it, I think someone else in this thread mentioned it. I only dilute when necessary - Ativan, for example. I do not dilute other meds and have had no problems administering

    PCU interview... but what exactly is PCU?

    Do-over replied to tarotale's topic in Cardiac

    The pay at my place is not based on unit. I got paid the same in step down as I do in

    Muslim nursing students

    Do-over replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    You clearly haven't worked in my hospital - parts of which are very new and other parts very old. Temps can swing big time from room to room. Or, how about single digits outside and then being 1:1...

    PCU interview... but what exactly is PCU?

    Do-over replied to tarotale's topic in Cardiac

    It depends on the unit. Where I used to be, it was really telemetry with a few drips, bi-pap. 1:5 days, 1:6

    Muslim nursing students

    Do-over replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    If you don't want to do it, then don't. The money, although a living wage for most of us, is not nearly enough to compensate us for the jobs we do. I really love what I do, but I question my...

    What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    Do-over replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You know, it is OK to call off work when YOU deem it appropriate. Workplaces provide PTO and policies around it for a reason. While I don't agree with making up asinine excuses (or giving any,...

    Muslim nursing students

    Do-over replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    I see that, I still don't think it should stop you. I am not Muslim, but wear long sleeves almost everyday. OR nurses wear head coverings - why on Earth couldn't you. Even if you run into some...

    Muslim nursing students

    Do-over replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    I wear long sleeves pretty much everyday at work. Its cold up here. If my sleeves are dirty, what about the rest of my scrubs? I am sitting on chairs, leaning on beds, supporting patients...

    Charge nurse

    Do-over replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I will continue to dodge that bullet - certainly won't do it willingly for the measly $1 per hour. At least, where I am now, charge doesn't take an

    Phasing out noc shift differential in acute care?

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

    I prefer night shift, but if they took away the diff, I would go to days. My diff is OK, but I think it should be more. If there is no difference in pay, then there is no difference in shifts....

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

    Thank Heaven for nights and weekends... I don't do scripts. However, I do like to introduce the oncoming nurse, especially in cases where it will help them to build rapport. Some get a more glowing...

    New Grad Nurse working in the Cath Lab.....

    Do-over replied to combat_medic84's topic in Cardiac

    The good news for you, is that it isn't up to any of us. Regardless of whether new grads belong there (no, IMO, but what do I know), where I am it seems like a place where not only do they require...

    I am scared to do CPR

    Do-over replied to Luna1326's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you work in ICU or ER, the times you will have to do CPR or participate in a code may very well be few and far between. On the floor, unless it is your patient, there still have to be nurses...

    I am scared to do CPR

    Do-over replied to Luna1326's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree - I would say it is the perfect teaching moment. Again, we aren't talking about theoretical physics. "harder and faster". I assume a nurse can follow simple commands. In the codes I've...

    Do-over replied to nellymac's topic in Critical Care

    Supposedly, it is against policy. However, I think I am the only person in the place that leaves mine in my locker. I don't mean to sound goody-goody, but I really can survive the shift without...
