Mersa59

Mindy, ask for propofol, I did not feel a thing or remember anything with mine, it was the colonoscopy that I was not sedated enough for. mar

No, they had 0-2 there and a face mask and gave me some 0-2 while they were sedating me,I went out pretty quickly, did not wake up until the start of the colonoscopy. I was in and out during the colonoscopy. I would wake up and feeling pain, moan or ...

CrohnieToo have you assisted in Push endoscopy? where they go as far into the small bowel as they can? What are you giving for sedation with that? I know they are doing more Pill Cam endoscopies now, as they say the Push endoscopy has more pain and d...

No thanks, I did not want to feel anything with either scope. If i would have had bad gagging, I would of done all I could to stop the proceedure.It is my understanding, now, that women have more discomfort with colonoscopy, and there is a higher cha...

I know this article is old. However I need to comment. Droperidol is Inapsine, and Antipsychotic medication. we used it in the past for out of control patients. It is now black boxed, I thought, and no longer used in psychiatry. there have been death...

One of the things that you can do: Document!! Document how many staff you have on any given shift. Then document safety issues with your patients. Document outcomes, secondary to not enough staff, and how the outcome would have been could of been dif...

Sista soul Good luck on your inclex. The problem with fast tracking, isn't that potential Nurses have not been able to do everything. Preceptoring new nurses is vitaly important. what I have seen is the lack of critical thinking skills in several new...

They are sending potential Nurses thru the fast tract now. little bed side experience, all books, study and theory. well all the theory in the world does not replace common sense and experience of hands on learning. I work in a complcated field, we r...

Pss to Megan: I do not know how old you are, but my thought is this. We all live thru enough stuff. Not feeling, remembering , and making sure we have enough sedation for otherwise, uncomfortable or painful proceedures Is OK by me. In addition to the...
