  1. Just a question on diabetic kid

    Guest374845 replied to MrsNurse08's topic in School

    I feel for these parents because I've left appointments for my child with a specific plan developed with the endo only to later find it mistyped or copied forward from previous orders. Trying to call...

  2. Arterial vs Venous Pressure

    Guest374845 replied to madys911's topic in General Nursing

    There are ABSOLUTELY IV-suitable veins paired with the radial artery. I see it daily from wrist to mid forearm when placing ultrasound

  3. Arterial vs Venous Pressure

    Guest374845 replied to madys911's topic in General Nursing

    If the vein shares a wall with an artery, the IV could have been in a vein but giving you pulsations and inconsistent pressures. The only REAL way to know would be to ultrasound

  4. Flight Nurse for Military

    Guest374845 replied to Kater1719's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    There are many recent threads about it in the Gov't/Military nursing section. I encourage you to browse the first page or two, and narrow your search a bit. Military flight nursing is very different...

  5. Ethics of the DOA screen

    Guest374845 replied to bgxyrnf's topic in Emergency

    I work at a teaching hospital with order-happy residents, and I honestly can't say I see truly needless utox's ordered. Is it possible you just aren't privy to what your docs are looking for, i.e....

  6. Med/Surge/Tele to ER

    Guest374845 replied to Pistachio830's topic in Emergency

    If you've literally been offered the job, there isn't anything to worry about except passing the test and getting your references. Unless you're a whiz with rhythms, study like your life depends on...

  7. ED Nursing

    Guest374845 replied to ksusn's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should seek a "big picture" approach. As critical patients present themselves in your workflow for the first week or two, you're actually better off at the foot of the bed with one of the...

  8. ICU-->ED

    Guest374845 replied to kwisatz_haderach's topic in Emergency

    I can echo that it's definitely not as mentally stimulating as a heavy ICU, but it's freedom from the tedium. You can still put your skills to good use when the time comes and you may even be a cut...

  9. Air Force (Nursing)

    Guest374845 replied to cali-global-health's topic in Government, Military

    If you are interested in active duty, you can not commission as an RN without a BSN in any branch at this time. If you are considering the reserve, the Air National Guard may commission ADNs at this...

  10. Are most new grad RN preceptors like this on the first day?

    Guest374845 replied to Smilie0809RN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL.... I'm sorry this is the experience you're having. I'm laughing at the thought of this jaded drill-instructor wannabe making med-surg out to be hardcore business. Roll with it for a while...

  11. What certifications do you have?

    Guest374845 replied to confusedstudent_88's topic in General Nursing

    CEN, CCRN + ACLS, PALS, ENPC, ATCN, and

  12. Using Dexcom and not finger poke to treat?

    Guest374845 replied to KKEGS's topic in School

    I don't envy you. My daughter has had the dexcom G4 and G5 on and off this year and we've seen WILDLY inconsistent numbers the closer it gets to calibration

  13. Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    Guest374845 replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    There are many military members here who wouldn't appreciate your pigeon-holing their

  14. Asked about citizenship during triage

    Guest374845 replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    It's NOT customary which is why plausible alternative explanations have been offered. Are you seriously asking if it's a routine question in triage? OF COURSE IT'S NOT. So either there's more to the...

  15. Military

    Guest374845 replied to DJello's topic in Government, Military

    No such thing as an enlisted officer... anyway.... If your passion is to get your slay on and do some high speed medic stuff under fire, and only do it part-time, then there are PJ units in the Air...

  16. Asked about citizenship during triage

    Guest374845 replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    We screen everyone for MERS-related travel, usually by asking about travel outside of the United States. Is it possible your friend took something like that the wrong

  17. Compatibility

    Guest374845 replied to jewel_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if this had been my patient I'd have started by slowing my roll. The pt obviously wasn't stroking out from a bejillion little precipitate emboli, so I'd conclude that there's chemical...

  18. "Emancipatory Knowing" & Patient Outcome??

    Guest374845 replied to Tetra's topic in General Nursing

    "It's almost as though there isn't any actual science behind this concept in nursing." And there's it

  19. Nurses to The People: we did not fail you, you failed us.

    Guest374845 replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    Save this knee-jerk e-card crap for Facebook. The premise is flawed. Who's saying "nurses have failed us"? Doctors in residency work longer hours, study harder and deeper for far less pay than a...

  20. Blood exposure worried sick need advice from experienced nurses desperately!!

    Guest374845 replied to elen2018's topic in General Nursing

    No problem, it's distressing until you kinda know when and when not to worry, just like any other clinical situation. So in the future, after a nasty trauma where you have some blood on your intact...

  21. Blood exposure worried sick need advice from experienced nurses desperately!!

    Guest374845 replied to elen2018's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing to worry about. If your hands didn't sting anywhere after what I assume was liberal amounts of hand sanitizer, then it was plenty intact to act as a barrier from transmission. I was straight...

  23. Military Reserve Nurse

    Guest374845 replied to kim_22's topic in Government, Military

    How far Grissom ARB from you? There's also NG and

  24. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    Guest374845 replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    My wife is a public school teacher and her Facebook newsfeed looks similar: lots of whiny e-cards, memes about grading all night and spending money out of pocket. I have personally come to view...
