If this is a true CCU (critical care unit/intensive care unit) then you are totally working in an unsafe work environment. The CCU/CICU/CVICU/MSICU that I've worked over the years are a 1-2:1 ratio, with only a 3:1 in a crunch. They are totally putting your license in jeopardy with a 3-4:1 pt ration (if this is considered ICU). CYA!!!

I'm not seeing anyone suggest a DNR

Q15min or less if they're being titrated, Q30 or 60 if not being titrated (up or down) for past 12 hrs.

You've obviously never had to deal with a COPDer that gets a big, fat air embolism from the TLC removal at 20 degrees. The pt was having the TLC pulled before being discharged to home; went unresponsive, sent back to the ICU, where we had HAD her for the previous 2 weeks detoxing; died within 12 hrs. KEEP THE HOB DOWN and BEAR DOWN!! Thank goodness MY name wasn't on that chart! Lawsuit!

:no:0/0 Dead!!

28, last ditch effort, pt died anyway

I am 6'2 with a 36" inseam. I have found the Laundau tall has a good length. Tafford.com has a decent Cargo with 34.5" inseam, but with a long-crotch...you know that problem I'm sure. I also have a booty, so Dickey's did not work for me, nor did they seem to work for smaller, LONG-LEGGED friends of mine. MEDLINE states that they have a 36" inseam....THIS IS FALSE (Medline is one of those company-supplied scrub sets that they supply ORs with). I've never shopped here (basically due to the price), but http://www.cheap-scrubs.com/html/tall-scrubs.html states that they have 36" inseam that look pretty cute. Good luck!!!
