  1. Air in IV flush syringe??

    whichone'spink replied to samiam4's topic in General Nursing

    I get the bubble out before I flush lines. Peripheral and central alike. I end up squirting myself a lot of the time, but it's best to be

  2. Going green makes me red in the face

    whichone'spink replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    You know why organic food is expensive. It's because the usual crap sold in stores is produced by companies who receive huge subsidies from the

  3. Should i be a nurse?

    whichone'spink replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

  6. Obama's Student Loan Relief Plan

    whichone'spink replied to KareBear0609's topic in General Students

    Of course, as with his plan to help underwater home owners, it only applies to those who have a government loan. If you don't have a government loan, you're SOL. And unlike with mortgages, you can't...

    whichone'spink replied to jlynaeleslie's topic in General Students

    After 2 1/2 years of nursing school, I'm about to do just that. Fortunately when I start, I won't have those damn clinicals to worry about. But my last semester will be a beast. Do what you have to...

  8. Elevated troponin with renal failure?

    whichone'spink replied to thelema13's topic in Emergency

    Won't decreased renal function eventually lead to heart failure from all the fluid overload? That's about all I can think of for why troponin I's will be elevated. Same with

  11. mandatory reporting

    whichone'spink replied to farmgirlie9's topic in General Nursing

    Don't states have Good Samaritan laws for that. The way I see it, there's far more danger of me losing my license not reporting abuse than reporting something that really wasn't

  13. Online CEN resources

    whichone'spink posted a topic in Emergency

  14. Online CEN resources

    whichone'spink replied to whichone'spink's topic in Emergency

    Nope, no curve. These are the toughest instructors I've had in nursing school. I wish there was a clinical component to this course. I work in an ER, so I've been exposed to a lot. Not from the...

    whichone'spink replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree that being an NP means less responsibility. One may have almost the same responsibility, but they get less

  16. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    whichone'spink replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Being a PA sounds better than being an NP, at the ER I work at. Some of the doctors let the PAs put in chest tubes, intubate, perform lumbar punctures, and do other advanced skills only the territory...

  17. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    whichone'spink replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Med school is looking more and more desirable, more so than NP/PA school. You know what gets my goat? A NP or PA that plays MD/DO. There's one PA who does this. She might as well have been a MD/DO....

  18. Are we trapped by our nursing degrees? Is nursing worth it?

    whichone'spink replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    I don't feel trapped, as I haven't even started yet. But I've come along too far to turn back and start again in college. I often wish I had done a biology degree, and later pursued pre-med and med...

    whichone'spink replied to MsBlissful's topic in General Nursing

    Had a patient who had end stage liver disease. She was barely awake and coherent when I first took care of her, but then the next day, she started to die in front of my eyes. Her LOC went down...

    whichone'spink replied to dazed&confused1129's topic in General Students

    I wish I could do more patient care. It seems I spend more time with paperwork, both the hospital's required paperwork as well as my school's required paperwork. I wish I could spend more time with...
