  2. Female nurse coworker sexting me from work

    resumecpr replied to RalphRenner's topic in General Nursing

    resumecpr replied to Stormy8's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

  4. Abnormal EKG and Elevated Troponin Post CABG

    resumecpr replied to Night<3RN's topic in Cardiac

    Why wasn't cardiology informed...and his surgeon? This guy was way out of the scope for a hospitalist. If his troponins were increasing, and his chest pain was not subsiding he needed to get a repeat...

  9. Don't Know What To Do.. (Prospective Student)

    resumecpr replied to UmmIdontknow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try CNA first. Less money, then you'll for sure know if nursing is what you want to do. Good luck with your EMT course. As for pre-reqs, A and P, Math, English, and other

  10. Neck manipulations

    resumecpr replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    They can use an "activator" which is a spring loaded mallot type instrument on your neck instead. If the doc has an issue with not manipulating your neck, then I suggest seeing another one. Hope you...

    Flush with 300-500ml tap water q 12 hours. I like to use those wall air fresheners to help with smell. And changing the bag helps

    resumecpr replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    If you lost sleep over every negative comment a doc said to you....you get the idea? Don't sweat the small stuff. Typically, if the patient's temp is > 100.5 at my hospital, we are to report it...

  15. Elevated WBC's after cocaine use

    resumecpr replied to elthia's topic in General Nursing

    Cocaine use is known to cause the coronary arteries to spasm, and if they spasm for a while, the result is that of an inflammatory response, thus you have your increased WBC. In my experience, Ativan...

  16. Any good rules of thumb r/t IV compatibility? & your preferences?

    resumecpr replied to IheartICUnursing's topic in MICU, SICU

    That's part of the fun and excitement of being an ICU nurse! When you have that crashing patient, and need to reference IV compatability, the pressure is really on! I love that feeling!! I don't think...

  22. Patient fell and died a few days later, was it my fault?

    resumecpr replied to GlitterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I can see why you're so upset. I would feel horrible as well. The bottom line is this: You did not follow doctor's orders, and in the end, the patient suffered the most severe consequence. You...

  23. Patient smokers!!

    resumecpr replied to Lahryn04's topic in General Nursing

    I fear that patients who leave hospital property with a working IV in place may subject themselves to other means of IV therapy (if you catch my drift). I used to work in an ED where if the patient...
