  1. Making myself nuts with this assignment

    louloubell1 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So I have this project to build a webpage discussing the gate-control theory of pain, and I am in need of finding a couple of things. Despite hours of searching on the internet, I'm coming up short....

  2. Making myself nuts with this assignment

    louloubell1 replied to louloubell1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You're right....it has been really difficult trying to find an mpeg or avi file of that. I hadn't really thought of capturing it from a video. What a great idea! I totally know how to do that too, so...

  3. Patient's right to have a decubitus ulcer ?

    louloubell1 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In ICU even, we get lots of folks who are A&O and will refuse things like turning or NT suctioning when it is needed. I always educate them re: the rationalle for the intervention, and ask them...

  4. Stupid Question

    louloubell1 replied to SleepyRN2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not to change the focus of this thread, but I totally agree with you, ether, when you say that not every American needs to watch that video. I mean, the parts they had shown on tv were enough, minus...

  5. Stupid Question

    louloubell1 replied to SleepyRN2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I saw that video as well. My husband found the entire video as had been posted by the militant terrorist group responsible for it, and this morning I watched it. It was horrific. I felt disgusted, and...

  6. I put charting in front of patient safety

    louloubell1 replied to hock1's topic in General Nursing

    Don't feel badly. There are times that all of us leave work and kick ourselves thinking that we should have done something different, but we do try to do the best we can. I guess maybe it's because...

  7. Teachers' Group Votes Against Helping Children w/Diabetes

    louloubell1 replied to ham22's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am in agreement with what most posters are stating. I don't think it is fair or safe to expect that of our teachers. That made me think of something though..... What if we weren't talking about...

  9. Do families HAVE to suffer while in school?

    louloubell1 replied to carlalogan's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with 3rdshiftguy. It is definitely a family effort when a parent goes to school, and the families that will make it through intact are the families that prepare for the experience, all pitch...

    louloubell1 replied to Heather R.N.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congratulations, Heather! Whatever you decide to do in regards to anesthesia school, please remember to take extra good care of yourself. Extra stresses are hard during pregnancy. I don't know if...

    louloubell1 replied to ltac's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have made applications to a bunch of private lenders, including Wells Fargo for the medcap loan. All of them wanted a cosigner for me, except for Sallie Mae. The trouble I'm having is getting my...

  12. Giving IV Mg++ Without A Serum Level?

    louloubell1 replied to Leslie1986's topic in General Nursing

    Forgot to say that OB nurses would be some good ones to ask about this since mag is a common drug used during premature labor, preeclampsia, etc. I was on mag for quite a long time during my last...

  13. Where are you?

    louloubell1 replied to ClimbingNurse's topic in General Nursing

    The best answer I've gotten for the "can you tell me where you are" question had to be from this lady who had been on the ICU with us for weeks, and was so tired of the whole ICU environment. When I...

  14. Giving IV Mg++ Without A Serum Level?

    louloubell1 replied to Leslie1986's topic in General Nursing

    In certain situations, most definitely. The most obvious of these situations that comes to mind is during a code where two grams of MgSO4 is a part of the ACLS protocol for torsades de pointes and...

  19. Nose plugs?

    louloubell1 replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I can not do that (breathing through my mouth thing). I mean I just have some psychological aversion to it. It is somehow grosser to me, almost like tasting it rather than just smelling it....

  20. I can't believe I can finally post this.....

    louloubell1 replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congratulations Emerald! It's weird, I can remember when the both of us were members of this board and still undergrads posting in the student nursing forum, and now we're both all grown up and...

  21. Should I complain to the boss?

  22. Any other new students getting really nervous?

    louloubell1 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am getting so nervous about starting anesthesia school this fall. I mean, first there's the money thing, or more accurately, the lack of money thing. Don't get me wrong. I've been saving up money,...

  25. New Fall Students: What are you planning to do during these last precious months?

    louloubell1 replied to louloubell1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Wow, a cruise in Europe sounds beautiful! Well, not for me, as I have some big phobias I would have to overcome to enjoy a cruise. Among my big phobias are the wide open ocean, linen chutes (that's a...
