  4. Help With Mag/Intake Question

    GM2RN replied to Sarah'sRN'12-2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If it makes you feel better, we all had to deal with crappy questions like this at one time or another. Hopefully the other questions were more

  5. Help With Mag/Intake Question

    GM2RN replied to Sarah'sRN'12-2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    ok...so your instructor is saying that the iv fluids at 100 ml/hr is in addition to the lr with mag. i never would have read it that way unless the question specified what kind of fluids (ns, lr,...

    How do you do the "ignore"

  9. Help With Mag/Intake Question

    GM2RN replied to Sarah'sRN'12-2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    yes, about intake, and presumably intake of fluids. but there was a difference of opinion of how much fluids based on whether or not the "iv fluids of 100 ml/hr after bolus" is the lr with mag or a...

  10. Help With Mag/Intake Question

    GM2RN replied to Sarah'sRN'12-2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    But intake of what? Fluids or mag? Probably fluids, although the question doesn't specify. But the post you quoted was questioning if there were separate maintenance fluids. Please re-read and you...

  12. Help With Mag/Intake Question

    GM2RN replied to Sarah'sRN'12-2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    But if you read carefully, the question doesn't state that the IV fluids are maintenance fluids. It says that there is a maintenance dose of mag at 2g/hr from the liter bag of LR. It reads to me...

  13. Help With Mag/Intake Question

    GM2RN replied to Sarah'sRN'12-2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Depends on if by intake they want fluids or mag. If fluids, there's 1 gm to 25 ml, so in the first half hour the intake is 100 ml, then 100 per hour after that for a total of 850 ml. If intake is in...

    It is truly annoying when someone reads "racist" and all kinds of other ridiculous things into a situation where it doesn't belong. Thanks for taking the time to post what some of us were

  16. "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    GM2RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming that your figure representing foreign healthcare professionals is actually 75% IN THE U.S., those foreign healthcare professionals still need to speak the language of the country in which...

  17. "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    GM2RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    That reminds me...I used to spend a lot of time around a particular group of people for whom "fixin' to" was a common phrase. The problem was, they would further smoosh the words together and shorten...

  18. Part-time position clarification

    GM2RN replied to liz0105's topic in General Nursing

    Liz, I don't know your circumstances so only you can decide, but I would like to caution you against automatically turning down a PT position just because it may not cover all of your bills on its...

  19. "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    GM2RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Not related to my healthcare, but I have had experiences like this and I can SO relate. Your post also reminds me that there is another aspect to the communication issue when dealing with someone...

  20. Part-time position clarification

    GM2RN replied to liz0105's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, you make some good points. I didn't even think about call-offs (called staff adjusting at my facility) cuz it never happens to me in my particular position, but that can be an issue. I also...

    Thanks for the clarification. I agree that does happen, and it

  22. Part-time position clarification

    GM2RN replied to liz0105's topic in General Nursing

    I had difficulty understanding the type of position the OP was asking about but I think this post clarified it for me. Just to be technically correct for the OP, it's actually based on the overall...

  23. "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    GM2RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to address your last comment first. I don't believe that anyone here has ridiculed anyone for having an accent. Having an accent IS something that can be controlled, IF the person that has...

  24. Use of cell phone apps on the job?

    GM2RN replied to SanDiegoCaliRN's topic in General Nursing

    First, it's not my policy; it's the facility's. But I do support it. Many people don't know the definition of responsible and professional, let alone implement it. Too many have chosen to talk on...

  25. Use of cell phone apps on the job?

    GM2RN replied to SanDiegoCaliRN's topic in General Nursing

    Pt confidentiality is one reason why staff at any level are not allowed to use cell phones. There is no way that I know of to make using a cell phone look professional short of going into the break...
