yes always have a female nurse with you whenever your going to do something that may cause the exposure of any sensitive body part.... I learned my lesson the hardway and from now i won't listen to breaths sound correctly (stethoscope directly over skin, not stethoscope over gown)
-
to your orginal question.... they are just bunch of BS, that's why MDs can't take nurses seriously.
-
welcome to nursing... it's the illusion of great care, I know it's sad....

Finishing my ACNP this May, glad this nightmare is almost over... these past 2 yrs have been the worst ever!!! i don't think i would ever do it again, I personally think my program wasted a lot of time on "Fluff" work (papers, papers and more papers)
-
learn to right lots of APA PAPERS!!! really if your doing ACNP get the Barkley book and memorize it.

finishing my ACNP this May, feel the same way

aystole=chest compressions, epi, atropine............that order

not true... have a friend that is a micro major(worked as a lab tech for a yr or so) that just finished PA school.
-
unrealistic expectation... that is it currently were i work the nurse is suppose to fill the home med req but we also have been told if the pt doesnt' come with Rx bottles or a med req from an outside facility we are not to write them down. b/c what is happening is that people are coming in saying i take toprol 50 mg bid when i reality they are taking toprol 25 mg bid or visversa also people are coming in saying they take "vicodin" for their "back pain" and in reality they are not taking anything

CCU/CVICU if you want to learn cardiac. skip the floors they are worthless(sorry, to those that work there, no disrespect) if you want CRNA, go to CVICU!!!
-
it's called reflex. tachycardia
-
It's not an EMERGENCY unless pt is symptomatic... but can soon be an emergency if you leave the pt alone...
-
pink...can't go wrong :)

go up the chain of command....charge nurse>manage>director>physician>attending>medical director>etc... and document that you went up chain of command, the BON is very gray in alot of issues and they can interpret the rules as they please...

CVICU in a teaching facility, we had so much autonomy that it was scary for alot nurses, many nurses left after working just a couple of shifts(2-5 shifts) we called it "cowboy nursing" Don't recommend it b/c i put my license on the line everyday that i clocked in for 7+yrs. glad to be out of that environment
