Ah yes, we're all desperate becaause: the economy is awful or we're new nurses or we're overweight or... whatever. You deserve what you negotiate. Just rry to hold on to it.

yes, i do have a recommendation. push your limits academically now. go for it all. find your groove where most of your final grades are as and bs. keep up your gpa. volunteer in the local hospital for at least one full-time summer or part-time during...

I gave 4mg once. Almost fell down. Yikes, that's a whopping dose.

well, we've never had a nickname for it like 'more fo lean' or such but, i can say it's pretty much oxyocodone x 10. yeah yeah, i know about the conversion chart... nevertheless. it's short acting, psycotropic, highly addictive. probably best used in...

When RNs attain provider priviledges then I will consider receiving an order from an RN. Otherwise, never.

Beta2-adrenergic agonist agents promote cellular reuptake of potassium, possibly via the cyclic gAMP receptor cascade. Stimulates cellular uptake of K+ within 20-30 min; administer glucose along with insulin to prevent hypoglycemia (monitor blood glu...

Why does K+ burn? It irritates the intimal lining of the vein. Why do we infuse TPN into a large vein? Otherwise, it irritates the vein. Try using a larger peripheral vein and smaller cannula lumen for K+ infusions.

You use what the facility provides. Don't ask why. Just do.

why bother? unless you're working toward a master's for employment purposes, skip the agony. nothing in the bsn curriculum will approach the level of rigor that your ba program required. it's a step backwards.

i am about to give you some very good advice. assess your personality type. i mean what kind of guy are you? are you a man's-man ... whatever that is ... or are you effeminate? how do you relate to women? no, really, how do women relate to you? seri...

yep, we're just a bunch of itinerant day laborers trying to make it through the shift. good grief, how did it become this way?

Yes, it's all about MANAGEMENT. If the crew stinks is because management stinks; and I do mean smells bad. We tolerate the smell because we fear losing something if we poke our heads up above the crowd and say 'no more' or make a suggestion toward im...

Imagine who those nurses are that remain behind. The same one's who are pushing so many excellent people away from the bedside. Consolidation is ugly yet, it makes for a great target to reform.

The Peter Principle: "In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence."

Yep, there are ALOT nurses out there who can't pronounce terms correctly which they should be able to pronounce, spell and define. This begs the question, isn't there a high probability they simply don't know of what they are speaking? Yet, they are ...

Yes, the more we know the more there is to be anxious about. That's why those new grads seem to glide around uninhibited. So, how about managing your weekly contact time. Don't go for max hours. Go for quality hours. Make it work for your personal co...

hi. critical thinking skills can't be learned in a nursing curriculum. forget it. if you want to hone your critical thinking, embark upon a classical education: history, language, literature, anthropology, mathematics, psychology (non-nursing), polit...

is that your scope of practice... to diagnose and then prescribe treatment? providers are faced daily with this ethical dilemma. nurses can judge and imagine that they have undertaken the hippocratic oath but that is not their role. argue your point ...
