Our NP's are either family or acute setting NP's with a background in ortho.

With my degree in Anthropology, I found that I could play a mean game of trivial pursuit and also work as a restaurant manager. You think nursing has long crappy hours, wait until you open and close a restaurant! Wanted to do something that didn't require 5 day weeks and didn't have me making money for GE or something. Totally love it and have gotten a couple of male friends to get their nursing degrees!

Seems like the hospital has a lil cash to throw around so our inpatient rooms are getting cardiac monitors. I have been gifted with writing the process standard for this. I do have a big question though, what do you do when you have monitored patients and you go to lunch? Who minds the phones? Also, is there any of you out there working on a tele floor without ACLS??

Always have somebody there with you when you put on a CPM. I make my aids take me with em. That's a quick way to a back sprain!
