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

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, did you post the pics where you were snorting cocaine and chucking the finger too? I mean a body shot is hardly a reason to get canned, especially for someone so good

  3. NRB & COPD your input please

    NeoPediRN replied to crb613's topic in Emergency

    CO2 is elevated but not HORRIBLE for a COPDer. I think BiPAP would have most appropriate. Oxygenate and blow off that CO2, ease his work of breathing without intubating. It doesn't matter if they are...

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    WHAT! Not only are you uncool, you are no longer good looking! How do you expect to get fired if you don't post inappropriate personal information on your

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

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Dammit, I knew I was doing something wrong! Tomorrow my coworkers and I are totally sneaking nips in the parking lot before work, I'll make sure to post the pics on FB as soon as I put a copy of them...

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

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Help me figure out how to announce my new job on Facebook. Should I wait more than 5 minutes after the job offer to post it? What do you mean I should inform my current job first? Whatever, you're...

  8. BAD Preceptor, HELP!

    NeoPediRN replied to Lizzy84, RN's topic in Emergency

    In this economy you may only have one shot at your career dream for a long time to come. It's up to you to advocate for yourself. This is YOUR career on the line. I would definitely sit down with the...

    NeoPediRN replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Emergency

    I second tales of life and death in the ER. I also love House of

  10. I have been an ER nurse for exactly one week....

    NeoPediRN posted a topic in Emergency

    And: 1) I now understand why I lose 1/3 of my pay to taxes 2) I have no idea how my hospital can afford to stay open with the amount of self-pay and government-funded

  11. I have been an ER nurse for exactly one week....

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Emergency

    Lunah, can you just close it? It went from being a benign discussion to being completely inflammatory, which was not my intent when I started it. I don't see it going anywhere good from here.

  12. Annoyed

    NeoPediRN replied to umcRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I work in a very old referral hospital with limited resources. Most of our kiddos are on govt funded insurance and reimbursement is low. We tend to have to get clever with what we have. MCT oil is too...

  13. Triage shifts: how long/how many pt.'s?

    NeoPediRN replied to vivasmom's topic in Emergency

    God bless ya

  14. I have been an ER nurse for exactly one week....

    NeoPediRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in Emergency

    Exactly, EmergencyNrse. It matters how your patients pay, IF they pay, when your small community hospital has already made cutbacks to stay open and you're at the bottom of the seniority list. You...

  15. New RN, 2 med errors in 2 days!

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

    1) Keppra is a drug that builds a therapeutic level (allegedly, but that's a whole other story!)...if you accidentally gave your patient a 1/2 dose there is a slim to none chance their level will drop...

  16. What's wrong with my cover letter/resume?? no calls backs or anything

    NeoPediRN replied to crazyscrubs's topic in Nursing Career

    There are definitely improvements to be made. Can you take it to your school's career

  17. What do you think about the way Mr.BossMan has dealt with Charge nurse on my floor?

    NeoPediRN replied to I<3H2O's topic in General Nursing

    Here's the thing....this is really a pet peeve of mine, and one of the things that caused me to start job seeking elsewhere at my previous employer. A new grad nurse with 6 months of experience is not...

  18. M/S RN to ER?

    NeoPediRN replied to #1ME's topic in Emergency

    I swear, your entire paradigm shifts. You will never again wonder "so you basically did nothing for him while he was down there?" or "this was ordered an hour ago, why wasn't it

  19. How did you switch to ED nursing?

    NeoPediRN replied to sameasalways's topic in Emergency

    I said these words VERBATIM today!! It was my 2nd day in triage and could NOT believe the complaints, the amount of self-pay, the groups of friends that came in drug-seeking, the sheer amount of level...

  20. Sell me on your specialty...

    NeoPediRN replied to rose_marie's topic in General Nursing

    I finally landed a job in my dream specialty - the ER. I can't sell you on it though, you're either an ER gal or you're not. :) I love the super fast pace, the 5 back-to-back ambulances, having half...

    Hello AN! I am a Nigerian princess and want to start a business for my mom that has nothing to do with nursing. I have 16 cents to start and would like your help. Please send $100 to Scam Central,...

  22. Annoyed

    NeoPediRN replied to umcRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    If we run into feeding intolerance we give them gut rest with Pedialyte anywhere from 4-24 hours and then slowly advance at 1/4 strength (with the 1/4 strength formula 100% fortified) and that seems...

  23. What do you think about the way Mr.BossMan has dealt with Charge nurse on my floor?

    NeoPediRN replied to I<3H2O's topic in General Nursing

    Dangerous. I wouldn't want to work under a brand new nurse who hasn't even seen or managed a code yet. Your charge nurse is supposed to be able to be your go-to resource

  24. Triage shifts: how long/how many pt.'s?

    NeoPediRN replied to vivasmom's topic in Emergency

    The ED I work in does 4 hour slots so that no one burns out. 12 hours is toooooo

  25. Annoyed

    NeoPediRN replied to umcRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Why can't they fortify the breastmilk to higher than 26kcal? We usually do corn oil and Enfacare as our emulsifier and they fatten right up. We do use Kangaroos for breast milk if the volume is too...
