  1. did the Dr. have a right to scold this nurse?

    NeoPediRN replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    The OP stated he/she recorded the events. You'll have to take that up with them. I don't care what kind of "event" or "code" it is. Someone who is working IT has no business even walking in the room...

  2. Organizing the day shift (transition from nights)

    NeoPediRN replied to Macbs4's topic in General Nursing

    Oops, sorry. Thought you were asking how to help the day shift while on

  3. did the Dr. have a right to scold this nurse?

    NeoPediRN replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not surprised that a hospital who allows someone with no medical experience to record a code is also a hospital that doesn't get concerned over a patient with a HR of 20, regardless of whether or...

  4. ADN new grad... jobs/base pay?

    NeoPediRN replied to Moecato's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    How can you not find the answer to this? All you have to do is look at almost any post on the MA forum and the question is answered repeatedly. No one is going to answer this post because it's been...

  5. Best way to unclog a PEG?

    NeoPediRN replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    I also use baking soda and warm water. We have clog zapper to use on bad jtube clogs. To clear the brown gunk out of the peg tubing --> push really warm water or cranberry juice or gingerale into...

  6. NICU interview!! ...examples of any NICU specific interview questions you were asked?

    NeoPediRN replied to ENI431's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    They might ask you some prioritization questions and behavioral analysis questions, that's about it (I'd hope). Remember that ABCs are as pertinent to babies as adults. I don't think asking about what...

  7. ER vs. Dialysis (New Grad)

    NeoPediRN replied to DysrhythmiaRN11's topic in General Nursing

    You have to do what you have to do. If your heart is in the ER then that's where you should be. Its a tough economy to break into your dream

  8. NICU interview!! ...examples of any NICU specific interview questions you were asked?

    NeoPediRN replied to ENI431's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Some of those are ridiculous questions! I wouldn't worry about being asked the last 3. You would never be the only NICU nurse on so that's an irrelevant

  9. Code Blue Teams for Medical Office

    NeoPediRN replied to Sierramnq's topic in General Nursing

    Here's what you do. You put together a code plan of who responds to the code (whether one team is responsible for the building or if you're breaking up different practices). It should be an internal...

  10. What supplies do you carry on you?

    NeoPediRN replied to Nire83's topic in Emergency

    Tape, 2x2s, flushes, alcohol swabs, IV caps, trauma shears, Kelly clamps, and

  11. seizure

    NeoPediRN replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Always side lying. If they vomit they're at higher risk for aspiration on their back. ETA if you can put a pillow under their head and don't try to put anything in their

  15. New RN off of orientation and stressed out!!!!!

    NeoPediRN replied to RN6157's topic in First Year After Licensure

    P.S. some nights you can't do it all. Actually, many nights. As long as your ABCs were covered and everyone was as stable as possible by the end of your shift and your documentation reflects that,...

  16. New RN off of orientation and stressed out!!!!!

    NeoPediRN replied to RN6157's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It all sounds pretty straight forward to me. If your divertic patient was in no acute distress from pain and requested Tylenol, then Tylenol was what she should've gotten. Your BP meds should have...

  17. Have you ever

    NeoPediRN replied to walkingonthestars's topic in General Nursing

    How someone does academically is NOT an indicator of what kind of nurse they're going to be. Some people don't test well, some struggle with book smarts. Once you're a nurse it doesn't matter how...

  18. Your one stop for all the most popular pressing questions on allnurses!

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not forget they must never support their high acuity and critical care areas, and they should always encourage slow bed turnover and critically short staffing levels ensure dangerous...

  20. Mental overload with cardiac class!

    NeoPediRN replied to RKRobbins's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone gets bent out of shape about Lead II. It's the most common one but it's not the best one. It's used because it's positive. You're right, different leads are used to get information on...

  21. Mental overload with cardiac class!

    NeoPediRN replied to RKRobbins's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like it's in a different lead is all. It's sinus arrhythmia because the points of the complex (R wave) aren't equal. You can see a little longer repolarization (resting) period from the T wave...

  22. Mental overload with cardiac class!

    NeoPediRN replied to RKRobbins's topic in General Nursing

    It also depends what lead you're looking at and the placement of the electrodes. Can you post a pic of that

  23. BPs on an infant

    NeoPediRN replied to A&OxNone's topic in Pediatric

    We only use auto cuffs on the babies, but we treat less by the BP and more by clinical signs. We'll get a specific gravity q4h, check cap refill, pulses, look for tachycardia and increased WOB, and...

    NeoPediRN replied to anon456's topic in Pediatric

    I've taken care of babies with an NG and high flow, as well as CPAP and BiPAP, no problems with it at all. The size of the NG relative to the nare is pretty small, and remember that we breathe...
