    insulin per sliding scale

    Anoetos replied to kirschbalb's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I would not give Aspart for coverage, but I would probably give Lantus. In either case, I would note it in the

    intervention

    Anoetos replied to truckinusa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    One of the key questions (according to Kaplan, and I found it to be true) that you must ask yourself when dissecting NCLEX questions is whether the question gives adequate assessment information or...

    Chest Pain and DNR status

    Anoetos replied to MissRN7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yep, you always treat pain regardless of AD status...that's actually much of the point of hospice and palliative

    These two idiots need to have their nursing licenses revoked

    Anoetos replied to guest416560's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, and weirdly, this is the kind of thing that sets us back even more when it comes to things like intimate care for women. Gay or straight, the perception persists that all men are...

    Why did you become a nurse?

    Anoetos replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I became a nurse because, after 25 years of working at stupid jobs, I wanted to do something with responsibility, prestige and which was intellectually challenging. Also, I like people and have a very...

    is 25-30 too late to want to pursue a nursing degree?

    Anoetos replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please... I got my degree and license at 46 and I'm working on a busy critical care unit at a very large

    Legalization of recreational marijuana

    Anoetos replied to francoml's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Speaking as a former recreational user of marijuana I can make two observations: 1. ThC is detectable in urine for a very long time, up to about 40 days, I believe. 2. The hang-over effects are also...

    The single most important thing you can do as a nursing student

    Anoetos replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    True, flunking out because you're doing too much would be bad, but working really hard and not being able to get a job is bad too. In either case Sally Mae still wants her money. I worked part time...

    The single most important thing you can do as a nursing student

    Anoetos replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    Of course I can't argue with you and I would never consider doing so. Everyone's experience and needs will vary. I will only say that the vast majority (probably all) of the new grads who can't seem...

    Heads up to all nursing students, from recent grad.....

    Anoetos replied to lilarox's topic in General Students

    I posted almost exactly the same thing and got zero response. It seems many students continue to labor under the mistaken impression that upon graduation, institutions will be lining up to offer them...

    Henry Ford - Beaumont merger?

    Beaumont nurse here, COO is having a townhall next week on Tusday. I'll let you know if I learn anything. As of right now it's all pretty up in the

    Normal nursing grades..

    Anoetos replied to katestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    If all you want to do is finish and take your test and get to work, you're fine, stay calm and carry on. Getting into nursing school is the hardest part. If you want to go on to grad school in a...

    Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    If you weren't a nurse, what would you have become?

    Well, I've already been a lot of things, so, I guess I'd say, "a

    Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    Anoetos replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anecdotal indications are that CRNA pay may be getting reduced at some facilities... ANECDOTAL That said, CRNAs deserve our respect, but AFAIK, their educational requirements are fairly limited as...

    Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    Anoetos replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's not really about the money, though. My quick guess is that the pay Anesthesia Nurses get is related to responsibility and

    Normal nursing grades..

    Anoetos replied to katestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    a B is an A in Nursing School.... Or so the old saying goes. I came into NS with a 4.0 and was lucky to finish with a 3.8. I graduated second in my class to a lady who had a 3.9. My dirty secret is...

    New Nurses

    Anoetos replied to Anoetos's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Example: nurses are discussing a patient. The new nurse expresses an opinion, or conjectures about the patient based upon what he or she has learned in school. The nurse is trying out his or her...

    Henry Ford Wyandotte

    I know someone who works there. He's been there a while and doesn't really have much to compare it to. I wish I could be more

    As a nurse, what does it mean to be in medicine?

    Anoetos replied to BINOC's topic in General Nursing

    I am a "medical nurse"; that is, I work on a "Medical Unit" caring for patients with "medical" issues, as opposed to surgical (or orthopedic, or whatever) issues. But I don't practice medicine, I...

    Wondering if I should quit while I am ahead?

    Anoetos replied to ggsnickets09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do not quit. Getting in is (more than) half the battle. The funding will come, otherwise just do the work; when they say "jump", say "how high?", and when you're done, and when you've taken your...

    Overcoming Clumsiness

    Anoetos replied to gemini_star's topic in General Nursing

    I am either clumsy or extra large, or both. I find though that with confidence I seem to become not only less clumsy but effectively
