  1. Anyone taking the CPEN

    ERjodiRN replied to needsmore$'s topic in Emergency

    i believe this is the first year (as of this jan) that the CPEN is offered, so you might be hard pressed to find someone who has already taken

  2. prehospital EKG transmission

    ERjodiRN replied to quickcath's topic in Emergency

    not every county is able to retavase in the field, either. with my hospital, our field stemi patients are coming through our doors within 10-15min as it is. when the medics make base contact they...

    ERjodiRN replied to 75au78's topic in General Nursing

    i agree w/ your take on the heparin flush. unless they are on some kind of fluid continuously, we flush the ports with heparin on all our central

  4. Excelsior Grad and Traveling Question

    ERjodiRN replied to mdewey626's topic in General Nursing

    sometimes with travel nursing you're able to extend your stay at a hospital. typically the assignment is for 13 weeks, but some stay on longer, afterwards. i know of a girl who lives in alabama, but...

  5. Losing HOPE!

    ERjodiRN replied to Someday2bRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. To Quit or Not to Quit

    ERjodiRN replied to DustBunnies's topic in General Nursing

    i am glad that someone like purple scrubs offered a different position on things. ya, it may have made things more confusing for you, but it's the truth. nursing isn't for everyone. in no way am i...

    ERjodiRN replied to 75au78's topic in General Nursing

    i personally don't see anything wrong with using 1 syringe since you don't need to flush a full 10cc through each lumen. however, the CORRECT way....and by correct i mean the way it's probably...

  10. Drug testing issue.

    ERjodiRN replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing

    i think the reason they say taking vit b can help you pass a test is because some hospitals use this blue liquid in the toilet before you pee. if it's green when they come back in the know that you...

  11. Would you witness a consent without all info filled out?

    ERjodiRN replied to mama_d's topic in General Nursing

    the ONLY time i have ever signed an informed consent that wasn't complete has been in cases of an emergency where i'm "covered", in a sense. if the radiology wants to have that part left blank so...

    Larry! How is it that you have 10yrs of trauma/ed experience and you don't know what a MICN is?? jk. it stands for Mobile Intensive Care Nurse....they answer the giant radio when the medics call in...
