  4. Nurse dates doctor openly at work.

    lady_jezebel replied to castle's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think it's your business. If she wants to talk about it, just tell her flat out that you think it's inappropriate & don't want to hear her jabber; but otherwise, who really cares?...

  6. Received this email today and I am steamed!!!

    lady_jezebel replied to MomBSN's topic in General Nursing

    lady_jezebel replied to kittypepper028's topic in General Nursing

  12. Propofol

    lady_jezebel replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    We use propofol gtts for INTUBATED pts in my med/surg ICU. It's a godsend, since pt's can be sedated or awoken within minutes. Our protocol allows us to use it for 8 hrs & then switch to a versed...

    According to our diabetes clinical nurses specialist, new research shows that a precipitous drop in blood sugar can cause irreversible brain damage. It's not simply a matter of pushing D50 & then...

    lady_jezebel replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not me. I realized last night that my patients & I are stuck in some kind of wierd type of hell together. The patient's dilemma is much worse of course, but it's no picnic pulling crap out of...

    lady_jezebel replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    I had a gynecologist once tell me that he can smell uterine cancer from across the room, and that it aids him in the initial diagnosis. She may have something really serious going on. I would talk to...

  24. ICU Nurse Personality Traits?

    lady_jezebel replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    They are generally just like any other nurse. However, I have noticed that many ICU nurses where I work are more ANAL about trivial details than the floor nurses -- in other words, less flexible about...

    lady_jezebel replied to omega17632's topic in General Nursing
