well I actually got dressed on monday but couldnt stand up straigt, I was so dehydrated, My girlfriend overruled me , you know like I do, this is my dream, as im sure it is yours, and I couldn'et let it be ruined, anyways, the fluid and phenrgan and antibiotics helped a lot. I still felt bad but MUCH better. I told them I guess I just got an early tour of the Hospital! I live in MS so I had to change my flight plans and all, turned out to be an expensive meal!!!

Ill be seeing you In february! I couldnt make the interview because I got food poisoning and went to the ER instead, so they interviewed me on tuesday! How cool!!!

Hey Everyone, I had my interview scheduled for last Monday. Sunday night at the hotel, I ordered room service. I got the worst case of food poisoning, I was wishing I was dead so it would all end by morning. Instead of an interview, I ended up in the ER. In any case, The kind folks at the Anesthesia school allowed me to come the next day and my interview turned out really well! I just got accepted to a CRNA program in Florida. I start in Spring. I am very excited and nervous at the same time! I have been a nurse sine may of 2005. Anyone have any words of wisdome for me? How does this compare to undergrad ( i think i know I wont see the light of day but just in case im wrong and someone tells me I will be watching a lot of TV i'd welcome that LOL). NP

i used to work weekend program at Baptist, I made darned good money for a new nurse! Its the only way to go, everything else is a ripoff. Actually, big hospitals are exploiters of nurses, especially new ones in general. Thats why i have left. Now i make $35 an hour and have a much more reasonable workload, and the company i work for, unlike the liars at baptist and St d, openly state that they are for a profit, which is at least honest.

all I can say is GOOD LUCK, U will need it!

i always end up staying late.

Re: are you born a nurse or do the nursing instructors make you a nurse? I Was BORN A NURSE AND THEY MADE ME GOTO NURSING SCHOOL ANYWAYS! ARRRRGGGHHHHH

Just because You have always done something a certain way doesnt mean its right. Its the one time that it can hurt someone we are concerned about. And pushing undiluted ativan is not recomended by anyone, most importantly the maufacturer which is what you would be facing in court

why in the world are you in nursing school?

think about it more and more everyday. Nurses are treated like disposable rags by hospitals. Many time i see nurses treating each other extremely poorly as well. I love the job of being a nurse, but dont like the way we are treated, especially by each other. I wish nurses were (at my hospital at least) would act outwardly as professional as the docs do. I may like my job a lot better then.

every critical care iv drug guide I have looked up haldol has me administering within safe dosing guidleines providied all parameters are montored for, several have me at a fraction of the max daily dosage, do your own homework

im not Collective years of experience tell you, A- you werent there b- lots of literature to support what i did, nothing in writing suggest i did anything wrong. I do agree however that next time, i will cal a doc when i have to use that many times his PRN order, that is where my lack of expereince hurt the most. Other then that I beleive the memebers of this board would probably feel differently had they been there as well

now you are getting the picture

So a hotshot doc wants me fired and his partner tells me as much, and I should ignore that and try not to get fired under thos circumstances, whose missing the bigger picture???? Lets just say we agree to disagree on the dosing and administration of haldol.....
