Just btw, this thread is 4 years old at least. Things change rapidly in the EMR world. There's a good chance the original problem looks significantly different now. But the original issues are part of the reason I am now an RN Clinical Analyst and ca...

Cvp would make the most sense at 15.

Mean arterial pressure.

Isn't map just (2S + D) / 3 ? No way it could possibly be 15?

haha. brilliant. i don't think anyone here was under the impression that birthing babies = CA. that said, i'd feel more comfortable with my delivering wife not having male nurses. and so would she.

Notice the post was started "I would be willing to bet..." She didn't state it as a fact. Your suggestion is noted. And moot. The freedom of others to express their opinions is in no way affected by your hurt feelings. If it bothers you that much, ...

Staffing is very inappropriate in more than one field in 2012. Whoever is responsible ultimately has to be at or above the level where schedules are made, hiring is done, ratios are decided upon, etc. They call those levels "management". Like when p...

Desire for modesty is not a dysfunctional feeling. It is rather functional.

No. This is an exaggerated example of the fact that many ppl (not just nurses) are being asked to do too much these days. (Saw it in the teaching field, see it with my wife and friends in their careers... speech therapists, PTs, etc.) But we can't j...

For some ppl, this sums it up! hahaha

For folks who like to believe you've "never" deviated from policy and have "always" done the "right" thing in your 5,000 year career... well, I suppose there is a snowball's chance that you're making a "truthful" statement, so I won't call you a liar...

I was a veteran for 9 years, teacher for 5 in my previous career. In my experience, a single individual who tries to change systemic problems (to me it sounds like the OP is in that situation) almost NEVER is able to do so through official channels. ...

I am a male nurse and I think part of the difference is a male Dr. has usually had the chance to build a relationship with the pt over time (appointments, etc.) A male nurse involved in delivery is more likely than not a complete stranger. Being a ma...

1. Practice Questions like a beast. 2. Pray & ask God's help with each question. Only He knows what these people are thinking when they write 'em! Good luck!! )

Well, I can't say that the Dallas program is any harder than Houston, but I CAN say that we Dallas peeps are wayyyy COOLER than the Houston peeps. HAHAHA! just kidding H-town... I got ♥ for ya!

this already exists, it's called a fb "group". haha or on allnurses... ignoring and/or insulting the opinions you disagree with. lol i've been doing it for years!! we're really good at it in the military. haha

Totally agreed. People say dumb stuff. A lot. Most of the knuckleheads that boast superior motives are full of crap. Let me hear your peers and your patients say that you'd do it for nothing and THEN i might start to give that thought a snowball's ...

welcome, welcome!! look forward to meeting you.

OK, thanks. That makes sense. Appreciate your help.

Never seen someone fail out or get kicked out b/c they couldn't do the right # pushups. Have seen many get kicked out because they couldn't make the weight standard. Knowing what I know, pushups would not be high on my list of things to worry about....

Hey! Thanks for this info!! Loved it. Very useful. You are a rock star. I took Patho with MM this past sem. for Patho. She's has these aweeeesome intense moments with people. She made me laugh which is more than I can say for a lot of profs I'v...

I wouldn't worry about the push ups too much.

Interesting. The handbook says "Uniform: The official undergraduate nursing student uniform is maroon or wine colored pants (or skirt) with a white or maroon colored top (or white dress) with the triangular Texas Woman's University College of Nursin...

My favorite part of this post is how everyone is assuming the MD is a man. ha ha

Orientation was fun, but I kinda felt like I was at a sales conference and I was the bait. Other than that, it was great. All of the info busted my brain tho.
