  1. mistake on heparin??

    mappers replied to marriednextmonth's topic in General Nursing

    Not how it was done at my facility. We titrated the heparin drips per protocol. Pharmacy had nothing to do with it. Vanc was a different story. Our protocol was worded like hers. You did a PTT...

    mappers replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, finish the degree and take the Nclex. You only have a few short months to go. Having that piece of paper is very important. If you decide to do something else, go for another degree,...

  8. Was offered a position in a very strange way...need some advise!

    mappers replied to PchezRN's topic in General Nursing

  15. new grad-advice on when to call doc for febrile pt

    mappers replied to kbear1729's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what the other nurse told you. Think along the lines of what would you want the Dr. to order if you called him/her? Do you already have orders or standing orders to cover the situation?...

  16. what does the 0.2 mean when it says 12 hour shift 0.2

    mappers replied to damrcngrl95's topic in General Nursing

  21. You found a resident not breathing, no pulse, you're the only RN and aides? CODE,how?

    mappers replied to newbiekenobe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
