  3. Welcome to the ER. Please observe the following rules. (mild rant)

    cannoli replied to V. Nightingale's topic in Emergency

    I don't even work in an ER, but I know the ER is abused, not being used for emergencies but for routine care. I agree with whoever said the public doesn't want to be educated, some people use the...

  5. Air in IV lines

    cannoli replied to zacarias's topic in General Nursing

    Also, in regard to the above, it is closer to the heart, and the negative pressure. When a peripheral IV infiltrates there is a greater positive pressure which causes the blood to back up in the...

  6. Air in IV lines

    cannoli replied to zacarias's topic in General Nursing

  10. What Would YOU Like??

    cannoli replied to NurseStudentFall01's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I'd rather have the gift certificate to the restaurant, I am one who wouldn't like a gift certificate from bath and body works, but everyone

  11. Can you believe this???

    cannoli replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I only have one word to say: unfortunately I'd probably get kicked off the board for saying it, it means illegitimate, plural. Union is a dirty word here, no such thing. Subject to disciplinary...

    cannoli replied to ManyQuestions's topic in General Nursing

    I worked a shift on a surgical floor the other night and didn't have to do any of that, but then there are times that you do have to. If I had to do it again, knowing what I know now, I think I would...

  14. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    cannoli replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Boy, that's a switch, someone lifting! I'm used to "I can't lift or pull anyone up in bed", so someone else always has to do it. What happened to in order to work you have to be able to fulfill the...

  18. Air in IV lines

    cannoli replied to zacarias's topic in General Nursing

    I had heard the amount once, but it wasn't more than several hundred, but I've forgotten what it was. Apparently, I was also told, the reason they knew how much it takes to kill someone is because of...

  19. But I have little kids!

  20. Vent!

    cannoli replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen the same thing, personal aides, not too cool when you are the other nurse supposedly sharing the aide. Brownms46, in regard to your earlier post, people leaving all that stuff for you and...

  24. Drips and such

    cannoli replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    I just found a small blurb about the regitine, it is given IV or SC. SC diluted in normal saline. It also said can add to dopamine or norepinephrine solutions. Does that mean it is sometimes added to...

  25. Drips and such

    cannoli replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    That's really interesting about the regitine, particularly about giving it through the infiltrated IV. Have heard about the drug of course, but have never given it. Otherwise, you just inject it...
