  3. Meds. to stop the Heart?

    lady_jezebel replied to Tree2144's topic in Cardiac

    Adenosine will stop the heart -- sometimes when a pt goes into a funky rhythm, it's used to slow the rate in order to determine the rhythm. I think it's used for pts undergoing coronary artery bypass...

  4. Can I make it thru?

    lady_jezebel replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, now stop with the guilt thing right now. You've got enough on your plate, and you need to put yourself first at the moment. I'm not saying you couldn't "get through" nursing school -- I think you...

  6. Can I make it thru?

    lady_jezebel replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

  9. Career Conflict: Nursing, yes or no

    lady_jezebel replied to SarasotaRN2b's topic in Nursing Career

  11. RN vs. BSN

    lady_jezebel replied to shingo333's topic in California Nursing

    Anyone who completes a nursing program & then passes the NCLEX becomes an RN. Your title "RN vs. BSN" doesn't make sense, for a BSN is one route to the RN licensure, as are AA and diploma...

  12. Need help with temp regarding MY son!

    lady_jezebel replied to pink2blue1's topic in Pediatric

    I'm not a peds nurse, but I'm a new mom like you. Personally, I would give your on-call another page and ask why he's not concerned and if you should go to the emergency room. If he gives you a good...

  22. I Quit!

    lady_jezebel replied to Mandylpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC
