  6. CRRT and mobility

    dec2007 replied to dec2007's topic in MICU, SICU

    dec2007 replied to db2xs's topic in Health, Stress Management

  12. In need of some insight

    dec2007 replied to ICUnurseEst2015's topic in Critical Care

  13. Angry..

    dec2007 replied to JellyDonut's topic in Critical Care

    I don't think they are so much "treating (you) like a diploma nurse" as they are treating you like any other applicant. They may not see you as a special snowflake because of all your

  14. Blind Sided

    dec2007 replied to trgopie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    dec2007 replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My nursing kryptonite is a nit-picky family members that concentrates on more ice water and fluffier pillows when the patient has O2 sats of 70% and no blood pressure. Also, shifts when I kick my a**...

  19. Reading glasses in isolation rooms

    dec2007 replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    Did you have to get them from an optometrist or can you buy them in stores? I've never seen them before. That would be perfect! Update: I found a place on Amazon I could order these, in safety glass...

  20. Reading glasses in isolation rooms

    dec2007 posted a topic in General Nursing

    dec2007 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    dec2007 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing
