  1. Hairy Situation

    chaosRN replied to CVSURN's topic in General Nursing

    With a 100% occluded LAD & with his RCA partially occluded, does he have 3-4 weeks to wait? A 50yo is too young too have so much collateral circulation that it bypasses the LAD. I agree with the...

  3. Peircings

    chaosRN replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    There is a RT at my hospital with his eyebrow pierced. When he has his retainer in, you can't tell he has it. I've worked with him for a couple of years & just noticed it this year. He accidently...

    chaosRN replied to grandma rn38's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just be sure you document what time she's leaving & let the sup know. Before shift? After shift is over? or during the shift? If she has taken report on at least 1 pt, wouldn't it be abondonment?...

  5. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    chaosRN replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh my, my story isn't half as gross as others, but it was at the time. When I was in ICU, we had this pt 300-400lbs, in isolation (C-diff & MRSA I think). So when you entered the room, you had to...

  7. Student feeling not educated

    chaosRN replied to sherichance's topic in General Nursing

  13. Family Members of our Patients ....

    chaosRN replied to RNPATL's topic in General Nursing

    This is one of the many reasons I love ICU. See families 3-4 times a day for 30 minutes at a time. (We of course have exceptions) I just love it when your pt has a b/p of 60/30 or worse & the...

  14. Nursing vs. Pharmacy

    chaosRN replied to erilynn17's topic in General Nursing

    Overall, I'm pleased with our pharmacy. We can call them anytime with any drug question. The pharmacy staff is great. They are getting better about sending STAT drugs right away. There is one...

    chaosRN replied to Maliatc's topic in General Nursing

    chaosRN replied to chaosRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks for responding! I have tried to look this up in some cardiac books that I have with no success. I will look in the section you suggested. Only a very few pts come back from OR with Milrinone,...

  21. Do you ever turn off being a nurse?

    chaosRN replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. My brother has wonderful veins. But, my family just doesn't understand. I have not been in a situation that needed medical personell, yet. I just hope I don't go blank when & if it...

  22. what is your policy on assessments

    chaosRN replied to JHUBRAIN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, in my hospital it all depends what unit you're on. On regular med-surg floors the assessment is q8h, step down units are q4h, and ICU is q2h (untill transfer orders are written, then q4h). On...

  23. What does your post name reflect about you?

    chaosRN replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing
