  1. 10/10 pain..venting!

    z's playa replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    Well apparently, take a truck load of NSAIDS and grin and bear the side effects. At least that's my experience but I've already mentioned it in a different thread

  3. 10/10 pain..venting!

    z's playa replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    I'm not rolling my eyes at you. I'm rolling my eyes at the fact that I'll have to make that call some day and I'm sure that I'll be wrong sometimes. Don't take offense to it, I meant no harm or...

  4. 10/10 pain..venting!

    z's playa replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    Are you totally, beyond any reasonable doubt, for sure for sure, that you aren't wrongly labelling a legit pt in real pain? Ever? What may be suppossed dead giveaways may not be. I'm so not looking...

  5. 10/10 pain..venting!

    z's playa replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    Too cute Teeitup! It's French but I wrote it wrong. It's spelt N'est pas and means "don't you think?" As for the pain scale, well can't wait to go back to the ER for migraine. NOT! I'm a little...

  6. 10/10 pain..venting!

    z's playa replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    Why is it that whenever a pt knows the names of meds that work and the names of those that don't , you all get suspicious? What if that person has been treated for a specific problem and has therefore...

  7. 10/10 pain..venting!

    z's playa replied to NYCRN16's topic in Emergency

    I'm thinking that when I become a nurse, and I get put in triage (god forbid) if a pt states their pain on a scale of 1 to 10, a 15 or something, I would just record it as 10. I think a lot of them...

    z's playa replied to hmccartn's topic in Emergency

    Our hospital just recently added a Satellite Unit to the ER. (not a satellite in sight ) Here is where all the "could have gone to the clinic" pts are seen. It speeds things up and keeps the beds...

  9. Frequent Flyers in the ED

    z's playa replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

    Just wondering if you are able to drink milk. Thats what I do with meds that upset my stomach. I know there are people who react differently to migraines. I wish I could function during one.

  11. Frequent Flyers in the ED

    z's playa replied to RNin92's topic in Emergency

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

    z's playa replied to bellehill's topic in Pain Management

    Does anyone know if its normal to get the extreme agitation and tremors with Maxeran and Toradol together? How about Decadron thrown into the equation? I think Toradol is grreat but not ALL the time...

  13. So, Boeing is going to build a new plane

    z's playa replied to Erin RN's topic in General Nursing

    When I was small, my father would stay up late in his attic study and my mom would take me into her bed because she didn't like to sleep alone. Anyways, I remember lying there and hearing...every...

    Had a "friend" who was a heroin addict ,and she said Dilaudid didn't work for her either. hmmmmmm? Another of my classmates took it and had severe adverse reactions. I took Dilaudid and discovered it...

  18. Does your hospital have a morgue?

    z's playa replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in General Nursing

    I thought morgues were mandatory at hospitals or at least adequately sized. Ours has 12 slabs with one that locks for criminal cases. And my city isn't huge

    z's playa replied to nekhismom's topic in Burn

    To original poster...how is everything? I was reading over this thread and I get so angry at this doctor that tells you how your child should respond to his orders. Switch doctors. Ask for a second,...

  20. Pay to park?

    z's playa replied to uamsrn's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses here have to pay as well, but they've worked it out. They all meet at the local Tim Horton's and drive to work together. When they get to the parking lot, the first in line grabs the ticket...

  24. burn pain management

    z's playa replied to nekhismom's topic in Burn

    I'm going to be HUGE on pain management when I graduate. If the pt is still screaming, the pain is not under control. No other way to interpret it. I would get the doc to explore new and stronger...
