  1. Should CVVHD be 1:1

    I_See_You_RN replied to kristenallene40's topic in Critical Care

    1:1 vent??? I need to work there. Its not atypical for me to get 2 vented patients,... but sometimes with the right sedation their easier anyway . As for cvvhd,.. my unit tries to keep it 1:1 but...

  2. How often do pain meds cause vomitting?

    I_See_You_RN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    the same thing happened at my hospital last week. the man was on the floor for over a week like that till he finally bottomed out and ended up in my unit, the ICU. 2-3 L came out in minutes

  3. Tired of nurses threatening to quit!!!

    I_See_You_RN replied to bradyc's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little confused. I know that this behavior is annoying, but what is wrong with wanting a full time position which equals better job security, better benefits, and better pay? If u were taking...

  4. Is my Boss OK?

    I_See_You_RN replied to jamdog30's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think if he just left you hanging without explaining himself or better explaining the topic you were talking about then that is kind of rude and pointless. If he elaborated a little bit,.. or a lot...

  5. MICU skills needed for new-grad

    I_See_You_RN replied to in2ICU's topic in MICU, SICU

    My advice is just to relax and breathe.... almost all of your skills will come in due time. And once you learn a textbook way to do a skill or view a case you'll end up in a scenario where the...

  6. Fluids vs Pressors?

    I_See_You_RN replied to TigerGalLE's topic in MICU, SICU

    Like the others have mentioned she did seem adequately replaced. However I wouldn't go with levo as my first choice when the elderly patient is already tachy,... if they were younger than go ahead....

  7. Deciding to call MD

    I_See_You_RN replied to TangoLima's topic in MICU, SICU

    In my opinion no one is working for free in the hospital, there are no volunteer doctors so if there is a significant change in a patient or you are handed a patient with vitals that don't support...

  8. Does anyone know of any private duty nursing agencies.

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hey guyz. I already have a full time RN job but I am looking to pick up some extra work on some of my days off. I am interested in doing private work (one:one) patient care in the hospital or in the...

  9. New Grad, needs help getting a job at NY presbyterian!!! help

    I_See_You_RN replied to Sweetiie17's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't think that poster was trying to be rude to you. She was giving you the honest truth. In fact I think you're the one who came off type snobby. Instead of purchasing a condo in the city you...

  10. New SICU Nurse... Any advice

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    Hi everyone. I'm a new grad and just got hired to a SICU floor where I'll be starting a critical care nurse fellowship. I did my last clinical rotations in a cardiac ICU and Medical ICU where I was...

  11. Who Draws blood from a-lines??

    I_See_You_RN replied to bran1101's topic in MICU, SICU

    It IS a little more,.. and that is why they COULD be trained a LITTLE more. Its not rocket science and you don't need a degree to learn how to do it. Just like PCA's can be excellently trained to do...

  12. Graduate Nurses at New York Presbyterian

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Hi everyone. For those of you that applied to New York Presbyterian as a graduate nurse,.. did you just ignore the (at least one year acute care experience) clause on the job description. Because I...

  13. Seeking info about NYC OR's - really need advice!

    I_See_You_RN replied to french01's topic in New York Nursing

    Well I know that the NYU hospital OR is always hiring (or at least last summer there seemed to be a good in and out of nurses). I interned there so I don't have the exact low down of the environment...

  14. Is there a Nursing shortage?

    I_See_You_RN replied to clar's topic in New York Nursing

    Shortage in NY? i would say no. There are some underserved communities who have a shortage but no money to actually hire new nurses (experienced or not) so therefore the term "shortage" still has no...

  15. CRNA- high school advantage?

    I_See_You_RN replied to jdutiel's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Take AP Physics and try to get a 4 or above on it so that you can either test out on it when you get to college or if you have to take it again either because your uni doesn't accept AP credit, or...

  16. No Waiting List And No Entrance Exam RN

    I_See_You_RN replied to Dionyonce's topic in New York Nursing

    really?? b/c i met a lot of idiots there,.. lol. just joking... I think Don't sell yourself short. As long as you have the baseline grades I feel like its all about presentation. Highlight all of...

  17. New Grad, Tough Job Market

    I_See_You_RN replied to SAMRN01's topic in New York Nursing

    I really agree with Ronin. If you can't get into a fellowship or residency that is tailored towards hiring new grads then I wouldn't bother coming unless you were financially sound and able to...

  18. Will RNs soon become mandatory over LPNs?

    I_See_You_RN replied to 1lollipop's topic in New York Nursing

    it depends on where you want to work. If you are looking at LTC/nursing home then there are positions for LPNs, but if you are looking at hospital and clinic jobs then there are small pickings. All...

  19. New Grads- What floor where you hired for?

    I_See_You_RN replied to ibme's topic in First Year After Licensure

    SICU,.. :yeah:I could post that about a million times. But i haven't started yet so maybe i'll change my tune in like a month,.. but i doubt it

  20. I lost my job

    I_See_You_RN replied to tabswifeRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think you need to be a little bit aggressive. Especially with this job market you could be out of work for months. If they did in fact state that if you were expunged they still wouldn't take you...

  21. I lost my job

    I_See_You_RN replied to tabswifeRN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Oh wow,.. I really think that your job acted inappropriately to fire you if you were not charged and convicted. I do think they had the right to suspend you with or without total/partial pay until...

  22. How important is your g.p.a

    I_See_You_RN replied to shynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    thank you so much:D I'm nervous, but excited. I'm just gonna have to work hard and take all the advice from the nurses on here to get through

    I_See_You_RN replied to PurellGirl's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi there. My mother has worked at WUH for just about 15yrs now and when I applied to the hospital she definitely gave me the heads up about some of those floors that she listed. I wouldn't have said...
