I agree, stories like this are always terribly one sided.

Because simply disagreeing with someone is not disrespectful. If I had said "you are an idiot and I disagree with you" that would of been disrespectful.

My guess is that the op will have a similar problem to this at every facility he or she works. The op is probably judging everyone he/she interacts with and makes no attempt hide it. I would be willing to bet a lot of money that following the op was not fun for anyone and probably involves cleaning up a lot of messes and finishing or correcting a lot of work. OP your attitude is terrible and unless you seriously adjust it you will continue to have employment problems.

I don't know if any one said this one but I can't stand when people say Bun instead of B-U-N.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the accuracy of measuring RAP/CVP with a temporary dialysis cath. versus a swan or TLC. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that using a temporary dialysis cath is not as accurate. By the way I am only asking about temporary dialysis cath placed in the SVC/RA. Any links anyone can share would be appreciated.

There is more then one shift for a reason. Giving late meds is one thing, but starting the blood should be passed to the next shift. In my experience those who are always late are that way for a reason. Ofcourse everyone gets slammed once in awhile, but more likely then not if your late everyshift you have a time management issue. I'm sure I won't be popular for saying that, but if you honestly evaluate yourself I bet you see I'm correct.

yeah sorry that's what I was talking about. I used one in a neuro/surgical icu but couldn't remember who made it.

Anyone ever use a laser level for this. I am trying to find out where they can be bought or what company makes them.

well yes I'm aware of turning to avoid pressure ulcers and help with breathing, what I was asking about is the pt with the transvenous pacemaker. Some places have restrictions on turning due to the fact the heart can shift and affect the contact point of the pacing lead.

What kind of policies do some of your hospitals have concerning turning patients with transvenous pacemakers?

I seem to remember discharging a pt who was to be new to home o2 and that certain level of spo2 must be documented on a certain level of oxygen in order for the pt to be able to receive insurance coverage. And I believe that cutoff is 3L.

I find myself wondering, what kind of MD would be willing to preform CABG's under these conditions?
