    Wrong label on drip..suggestions?

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in MICU, SICU

    See that's the thing. I guess we don't know unless we talk to the pharmacist about what she really put into the bottle because if she did then the patient did get the right dose of meds because even...

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    I left work with a percocet and i went back and we returned it back because it wasnt opened or anything. No one said a thing about it. Just bring it

    Confused student nurse

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to GusM's topic in General Nursing

    I'd worry about finishing your BSN first and having a license and getting a couple years of experience before worrying about CNS, FNP or any other NP track. Nursing is all about experience and IMHO i...

    lovenox

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to becky0124's topic in Patient Medications

    yea lovenox only goes up to 100mg (which is the black labeled syringe). I've had large patients with whom i had to give 2 shots of lovenox because they required more than 100mg of it. I would not even...

    Medication Errors: Do you tell the patient?

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to javanurse2000's topic in General Nursing

    At one of my hospitals they had 'full disclosure' so we had to tell

    Is it safe to do CPR outside of work????

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    That is why I'm trained as an EMT and a RN...So i dont have to worry about this. I've hear similar stories to this, but i think it's a bunch of BS to be honest. I wouldn't be able to live with myself...

    Chief of staff stood up for us ... a total "WOW" moment.

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Meg88's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I've come to realize that during my short time in nursing that i think many of the old school MDs and some of the 'newer' ones still have the view that nurses are in a subservient...

    More leeway in the ICU?

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in MICU, SICU

    At my hospital that is true. Most of the time if we suspect something or want to draw labs for one reason or another we usually do it with no issues. BUT if there is something that we find that is...

    Dying Patient

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to js0314's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, when PTs say they feel like they are gonna die, or that they feel that 'impending doom' that everyone always talks about. I'm on their ass like a hawk cuz most of the time when they...

    Confused on EMT-B?????

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to proudpops's topic in General Nursing

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I've been a Murse for 9 months, and I do love it. Some nights are harder than other but that's how this nursing business goes, and to all the new grads out there. Ya gotta learn to improvise,...

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    The place I'm working at now, way more nurturing and helpful than the first hospital I worked at, where you were just a machine and your sole job was to move people thru the system as fast as possible...

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you very much. Ya know I wanted to start right out in critical care and I was turned down by the first hospital simply because they were not doing a bridge to ICU/CCU that summer. Was I bummed?...

    Atropine for ABD Pain?

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Emergency

    Donnatol, another anti-spasmodic which I actually take has atropine in it. It makes my mouth drier than the frickin sahara desert! But it works. So does that sound crazy to give atropine for ABD pain,...

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I printed some of them, shrunk them and then had them laminated so i could attach them to my badge for quick and easy reference. It was so well like in the ICU/CCU that I made a bunch for people and...

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Manatee111's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I worked on a CT step down unit and used to pull cordis with the PTs in a sitting position, usually in a chair. Never had a problem. However, ALOT of the cordis' that were pulled would always have...
