    IV Push med– do you always have to pull back for blood return?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to missjune's topic in Patient Medications

    Oh I never said I don't believe in new research, that would be absurd. I know that you CAN have a patent PIV without the presence of free flowing blood. I know this is a FACT! You have evaded just...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    I actually don't think any of it happened. LOL I think the OP wanted to come spark a debate by this story that just happens to correlate with a hot topic in recent years. But I am all about debates...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    How was she evasive. She was asked "Are you Muslim" she replied "No" How on earth is that evasive. She answered the question directly. Management should have used their words and been direct in asking...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    Oh I have no doubt that's what she meant. Doesn't make it any less cringe worthy. I mean we are adults here, it might be time for her to learn that probably isn't the best word to use when describing...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    I always wonder where the nurses go in most of these shows. I mean in House you had 4-5 docs to one patient with not one ancillary service. I bet their satisfaction scores were through the

    This is hilarious. I read exactly what you wrote. Reading your post right here you just reminded me of this girl at work. We are far from easily offended, in fact I have never been accused of being...

    Yea pretty poor choice of wording. Just try using it in a different sentence. Ron wasn't your normal Mexican. Sue wasn't your normal Catholic. Surely you can see how that must

    Seriously?!?! You gotta be kidding me!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, the ER should not be encouraging this. I mean there are literally urgent cares now that offer their own almost "care credit" plans that aren't even based off your credit. So many options. In...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    Same here, I am not sure I believe. Although I have had some pretty crazy things that would be hard to explain and do add up if my brother was "saying hi" from the other side. But who knows. Real...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Banana nut's topic in General Nursing

    Always nice when it works out that way. Charge likes it too. By the time I am back to my zone from running to the cath lab there is already a new patient waiting for me in the empty room.

    Crushing nitro on right side STEMI!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Banana nut's topic in General Nursing

    I don't disagree. But that's not always the case. Sometimes on a night shift there is one doc there and you find out they aren't as good at recognizing a RVI. Or the doc that picks up the patient...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Banana nut's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is they can sometimes be easily missed. Especially to someone newer to reading EKG's, that's when I have usually seen it happen. Not from not getting an EKG

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Ctlgc's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    as the PP stated you need to check with your states BON. Also you can check with the schools you are applying with. I have seen many of nurses with non violent misdemeanor and felonies even able to...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Banana nut's topic in General Nursing

    That's one of the side effects of what can happen with Nitro and RVI, but you don't always know it's right sided before giving the Nitro. This is why you never give nitro to a chest pain person...

    Except that's NOT what you said. You made some pretty ignorant statements and I called you on them. Just own it. You also seem to still be completely missing the point. Best of luck to you, you have a...
