    jelly221,RN replied to scarednurse99's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've been living in Nola for going on 12 years & 100% agree with everything in this post. Like a lot of big cities we have issues with poverty & inequality that drive a good bit of crime. I've...

  5. Louisiana State University (LSU) CRNA - 2025

    jelly221,RN replied to scarednurse99's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just finished my interview! It was pretty quick, about 15 minutes & only personal/EI questions, no clinical. I think they've revamped the quiz based on what people have said here & what...

    jelly221,RN replied to afox's topic in Neurological

    Waterhouse gives a good explanation in this article: An Audit of Nurses' Conduct and Recording of Observations Using the Glasgow Coma Scale You are correct that central pressure should be used in the...

    jelly221,RN replied to kdneal's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Hi! We're looking into using these, did you ever find/develop a policy or protocol that you'd be willing to share?

  8. Metairie/New Orleans Jobs

    jelly221,RN replied to EricaRN81's topic in Louisiana Nursing

  9. JULY NCLEX-ers!!

    jelly221,RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey y'all! Just wanted to see who else is scheduled for NCLEX in July so we can maybe keep each other accountable to study goals, share study woes, good prep books, etc. My date is July 11th, can't...

  10. GPA for USC?

    jelly221,RN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi there! I'm in an MSN program now (it was almost as fast for me to do an MSN as a BSN) and I'm hoping to go to USC's CRNA program. I know it's ridiculously competitive, hence my question. One of...

  11. Wiping off IV ports

    jelly221,RN replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Of course when I used (past tense!!) the flush caps I didn't set them down - I would take it off the syringe, hold it and screw into the end of the tubing. Touching air doesn't make things...

  12. How messed up is this?

    jelly221,RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Last week, I noticed a poster advertising special activities all week long for "National Hospital Week" in 2 weeks. These activities are things like an ice cream social, a talent show, etc. All...

  13. How messed up is this?

    jelly221,RN replied to jelly221,RN's topic in General Nursing

    You said it better!!! It is nice to have more than purely a contract- a sense of loyalty makes employment more pleasant. There's an awesome book, "If Disney Ran Your Hospital", that talks about...

  14. I graduated todayyyyyy!!!!!

    jelly221,RN replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    Sheesh I understand about your situation as a tech- good luck! I worked as a tech through NS, had awesome performance reviews, aced my interview with my facility for Versant, but didn't get it because...

  15. Wiping off IV ports

    jelly221,RN replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Makes sense. I guess where I'm confused is that I fail to see the difference in the cap from the flush and the little white plastics caps. They're both sterile, and they're both covering the threads...

    jelly221,RN replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

  17. What is the answer to this question!?

  18. a question about cardiac arrest w/asystole!

    jelly221,RN replied to YZ1911's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had it with a patient, but I have a friend who flat-lined 3 times in one day. He was mid 20s when it happened (10 or so years ago), a professional athlete, and has had an AICD ever since....

    jelly221,RN replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

  20. Major Drug Shortages Looming

    jelly221,RN replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Could you share what you find? I've seen Zofran work on countless patients, not to mention myself! Reglan & Compazine give me dystonia, but good ol' Zofran has yet to let me

  21. Wiping off IV ports

    jelly221,RN replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Huh I'll definitely check out their website, I used it as a resource for a poster presentation I did for our Skills Fair this year, and they had some great resources. Do you have any specific links to...

  22. Wiping off IV ports

    jelly221,RN replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught that the rubber stopper is sterile under the cap, which makes sense considering how hard it is to pop some of those suckers off. Now that I think about it though, I've never checked...

  23. How messed up is this?

    jelly221,RN replied to jelly221,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I should've been more clear- I'm not taking this personally, as I am quite confident in my skills and passion for nursing. The fact that my hospital didn't have an ice cream party for Nurses'...

    jelly221,RN replied to jelly221,RN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL most of the nurses on my floor would be THRILLED to get a new copier for Nurses' Week - we've been all but begging for a year.

    jelly221,RN replied to jelly221,RN's topic in General Nursing

    See my previous response about MD Day at my place. I definitely do agree with your 2nd paragraph, but please don't think that I'm the kind of person that needs a "Thanks" in order to be proud of my...
