Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) is a strong narcotic stronger than morphine. 1 mg of dilaudid is equal to about 7 mg of morphine. It could be LPN not allowed to push narcotics. Dilaudid can lower blood pressure and needs careful monitoring also should be pushed slow over 2 min.

This rhythm is irregularly irregular making it an atrial fibrillation. Treatment would depend if it is a first time onset,which would require a cardizem drip. However if it is a preexisting arrhythmia the patient would be on anticoagulant usually coumadin. Also the cardiologist may or not depending on age, suggest an ablation.

I went to nursing school in Puerto Rico, Not Arecibo but San Juan. The entire course was in Spanish, no prerequisites,no entrance or exit exams. I came back to the US and passed the N-CLEX-RN on my first shot. Just make sure the institutions are accredited by the Nursing League of Nursing,which the one you mentioned is. The schools usually do not give you nclex-style questions for the exams like they do here. Overall I loved Puerto Rico.

I would work prn for your present employer, this would not burn any bridges and also give you an opportunity to test the waters on the other job position.
