    Nursekatydid replied to Nrs. LaLa-Land's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Nursekatydid replied to Sherpa RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You mention in your journal entry on 10/06/03 that you didn't get "pimped" very hard but you were put on the spot. What does pimped mean in that

  9. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    Nursekatydid replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    Last time I checked, nursing wasn't a sorority/farternity (referring to having to work a year to be part of the 'club'.) I am a tech on the floor I will be working on, and I feel that I am welcomed...

  10. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    Nursekatydid replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    And what work ethic would this be? Because I KNOW I was raised with a damn good work ethic. I might not be an RN yet (4 wks), but everytime I go to work (as a tech.) I give it my all, reminding myself...

  14. Is there something comparable to Toradol that can be given IV for pain?

    Nursekatydid replied to bellehill's topic in Pain Management

    Tanesma, I got that information directly from Saunders Nursing Drug Handbook (2003 edition, pgs.633-635.) Toradol effects the platelets and heparin affects the coagulation cascade. When both...

  15. Is there something comparable to Toradol that can be given IV for pain?

    Nursekatydid replied to bellehill's topic in Pain Management

    The above statement about Toradol having nothing to do with LMWH or Heparin is NOT true. Toradol taken wiht an oral anticoagulant can actually INCREASE the effect of an LMWH or Heparin, therefore...

  16. Is there something comparable to Toradol that can be given IV for pain?

    Nursekatydid replied to bellehill's topic in Pain Management

    Nursekatydid replied to rnnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed on the side that you are 24. Now I'm not sure, but I don't think you can breastfeed with implants. Again, I'm not to sure on this, but you are only 24 and if you are planning on having...
