5 mg IV Vasotec PRN SBP >160. They don't even give that much at once on monitored units. ::Shakes head::

I know that Mercy Medical and Aultman in Canton are hiring new grads. I know its about two hours from Columbus, but it's not a bad place to live and the hospitals are decent. Then you have Akron that has three major hospital systems right there (thou...

Pff...I don't even know. Haha. Wanted to be a singer, artist, doctor, teacher, geneticist, novelist, journalist, FBI agent, spy, anthropologist, crime scene investigator, interior designer, handbag designer, boutique owner, bookstore owner, coffee sh...

First off I want to set up the scenario I have been working with lately (sorry it's so long and involved): I work as a student nursing technician on a very busy med-surg/trauma/neuro/stroke unit. Recently, we have been severely understaffed due to ot...

I am pretty sure I didn't say I demanded it. I'm just saying my job there is not to bend over backwards to make a group of nurses who do not want me there, happy. I'm sorry you don't get paid more, but that isn't my fault either. I just don't think i...

I did not say I wouldn't do them. I do not mind, but please do not give me problems if they do not get done. I am not here only for bathing patients. I am here to learn how to be an RN which involves a lot more than bathing, changing, and obtaining v...

It really bothers me, as a student, that there seems to be a mass opinion that all nursing students don't care, don't want to be there, and don't want to learn. I work my tush off and really don't appreciate the generalization. I don't judge all nurs...

I'm a student nurse (May 2011 cannot come soon enough!) and I work as a tech on a busy floor so I see both sides of the spectrum. I think its annoying when students: -DON'T do what they're supposed to do (if you tell me you're getting vitals, then do...

I know this was earlier in the year, but I thought I would respond in case someone was still looking for an answer. I work at Akron City as a tech and I know that they haven't hired any new techs since around last December to March. At least, not on ...

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! :lol2:

I work as a tech on a very busy Neuroscience and Trauma Med-Surg unit. A nurse was demonstrating to another tech how to start an IV. She pointed to the antecubital area and said, "Feel here. It's just like a rubber band, bouncing all around." The tec...

I'm naming my children Lemonjello and Orangello, just so it's finally true. =P

I know this topic kind of died down, but I just wanted to throw my two cents out there. I live and work in NE Ohio. I'm a tech in a Level 1 Trauma center. A lot of new grads that I know get hired into the ICU's around here Some hospitals I have heard...

You've been hit on by more guys with TBIs than without.

I think it is important for everyone to help with incontinence care....from aides to RNs. Of course it gets busy....for everyone, but that doesn't mean anyone should be exempt from helping out. Maybe you could round on the incontinent patients before...

When i started nursing school all I heard was how I was going to have at least three job offers when I graduate. Now, I'm going into my senior year, I have a position as a Nursing Student Technician, and I am still scared I won't get a job. I have ac...

I figured that was most likely the answer, but she listed it as the 5 rights in the slides and then asked for six guidelines. I don't know....maybe she can't count?

I am currently enrolled in a Pediatric/Maternal/Newborn Pharmacology class. We have no book. I am supposed to list the six guidelines for the administration of pediatric medications, but I am at a loss. As I said, we have no book and the answer is no...

You could probably do ineffective coping r/t lack of education...blah blah blah...since she had next to no prenatal care. Or, r/t lack of social support since father is not in the picture. Risk for depression r/t lack of social support, lack of educa...

It can be stressful (actually, beyond stressful at times) to work and go to school and to add clinicals on top of everything, BUT I've done it for a year and it is absolutely possible. Don't give up. When you get to graduation you will be so proud of...

Kent State - Main. 2011 CANNOT come soon enough, though i do love my program. :-D

As nurses we love them all. We see people on the worst days of their lives continuously and if we don't care for the good, the bad, or the angry boys we have no business doing what we do. I'm so sorry for your son. God bless and good luck on your jou...

To my first semester lab instructor: Thank you so much for all of the information you threw at us that seemed so annoying at the time. I remember so much from fundamentals because of you. To my first semester health communications professor: Just bec...

yes, she did ask that to witch the professor said, "oh, you didn't bring your batteries?" "oh, no, i didn't." i'm not quite sure how some people get into the program...hahaha

no she did not just ask how to turn a stethoscope on....
