  4. Hypovolemic Shock

    RN1982 replied to csisn08's topic in General Nursing

    That's true. I've never had a patient on Dopamine if they were in hypovolemic shock. It's pointless, replacing the volume lost is what is needed

    Depends on the dose of dopamine that they are giving. If the dose is 5-10 then it increases the cardiac output and the BP. It has positive inotropic and chronotropic qualities like increaing cardiac...

    RN1982 replied to singlern's topic in General Nursing

  14. hourly rate

    RN1982 replied to jeffrey01's topic in Michigan Nursing

  15. hourly rate

    RN1982 replied to jeffrey01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Pay depends on where you live. The cost of living in Chicago is higher than Michigan so nurses will be paid more

  16. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    RN1982 replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I watched the "business of being born" the other night and it just made me think that the whole L/D experience was just something doctors dreamed up. They showed a L/D unit and every woman was on Pit....

    RN1982 replied to GoBabyGo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm addicted

  20. Struggling with elective terminations of pregnancy

    RN1982 replied to GoBabyGo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To be honest, there are patients who do things that we do not agree with. But try not to be judgmental. It is not your place to tell the patient what they are doing is morally wrong. You may or may...

  21. Nursing Student annoyed me

    RN1982 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    RN1982 replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

  24. Need Advice, please help! (HIPAA)

    RN1982 replied to StarNurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    Three days of suspension is a bit much. My advice would just be to not get anymore involved with the patient and family other than to say
