  1. Allnurses Quoted in Topics in Emergancy Medicine

    RoxanRN replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Is there a link available to the article? Also, a link to the thread. I can't seem to find it. Thanks,

  2. good Samaritan or emergency care doctrine

    RoxanRN replied to Kristi Lee's topic in Emergency

    I would venture to guess things are very different depending on which side of the Big Pond you're on. To my knowledge, that has never happened in the US. The uniform preferred by 99% of employees...

  3. good Samaritan or emergency care doctrine

    RoxanRN replied to Kristi Lee's topic in Emergency

    EMS joke...................... Until proven otherwise, all 'bystander' doctors are proctologists. Never turn your back on them. :chair:

  4. CCRN test: how bad is it really?

    RoxanRN replied to farmerrl's topic in MICU, SICU

    I took the CCRN pencil/paper at Trends in October. I just got the results today. I

  5. Upset, Embarassed....ANXIETY dx???

    RoxanRN replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Tell him exactly what you've told us and exactly how this is making you feel - in whatever way(s) describes it best. Tell him what's going on in your life - school, clinicals, home life, social life,...

  6. good Samaritan or emergency care doctrine

    RoxanRN replied to Kristi Lee's topic in Emergency

    Unless you know the techs on the EMS crew (and they know you), if you attempted to maintain control of the patient after they took over, most likely, you would end up in 'bracelets' for interferring...

  8. Ever had a nurse or doc as a patient?

    RoxanRN replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

  9. Ever had a nurse or doc as a patient?

    RoxanRN replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Most medical-minded patients I've taken care of haven't been bad at all. However, we recently had a doctor (and her family) who was the most demanding patient ever. After she no longer required ICU...

  10. Testing for LPN while in school for RN ??

    RoxanRN replied to TCC/RN student's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Depends on your school. My school is the only one in the area which provides such curriculm progression. I passed my NCLEX-PN during my 3rd semester (4 semester RN program). If you are able, I'd...

  11. ICP - puzzled

    RoxanRN replied to epiphany's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Both..... it's a form of feedback loop. The constricted vessels cause a decrease in the CPP which in turn, in an attempt to perfuse itself, the brain centers increase BP and decrease the MAP...

  12. EMS..LTC..DNR orders

    RoxanRN replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    In any place I've worked EMS (KS, MS, OK), a copy of the DNR suffices as long as I've laid eyes on the original, but I must have the copy in hand during transfer or I'm bound by my protocol should...

  13. Is it selfish not to get a Flu Shot?

    RoxanRN replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it was coincidence that my dad got the flu every year (he was a very active middle aged farmer) until he STOPPED taking the flu shot (is still farming). Since then, he might only get...

  14. Weird, Odd Nurses Behavior.....

    RoxanRN replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you,

  15. Do some people just "get it"?

    RoxanRN replied to ArmyWife,RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Truthfully, yes, some 'get it' faster than others. That by no means means you are dumb. Maybe the other grad has other experience they are drawing on. Are you still on 'orientation?' Even if you...

  16. Tissue Donation Education?

    RoxanRN replied to cdy8_99's topic in General Nursing

    We had a short lecture about it. They talked a bit about the process - who pays for it, patient care issues, etc. They also say a trained person is to approach the family, not the nursing

  17. Tissue Donation Education?

    RoxanRN replied to cdy8_99's topic in General Nursing

    Per my facilities policy..... we make the initial call to the Transplant network people when we have an impending or unexpected death. We give them patient hx and hospital course description. They...

  18. Weird, Odd Nurses Behavior.....

    RoxanRN replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    RoxanRN replied to BamaBound2bRN's topic in Emergency

    With any state, call your state EMS office. For Alabama, call 334-206-5383. http://www.emsmagazine.com/SURVEY/index.html Roxan EMICT,

  20. Describe your last day at work in 50 words or less !?

  21. My bp is 160/120, go to the ER?

    RoxanRN replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    Chad..... If you are reading this and have not been to the ER.....GO NOW! If you feel you are unable to take yourself, CALL 911 for an AMBULANCE!!! :redlight: They will get you to the appropriate...

  22. RN to Paramedic Bridge Course

    RoxanRN replied to ironjohn929's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    And what does CCRN have to do with the price of rich in China? You are no better than any other critical care RN - just have taken a test that says you know the material and can pass

  23. ICP Transducers

    RoxanRN replied to Treb4K's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    We routinely zero (to the monitor) ICP transducers as well as art lines and CVPs at the beginning of each shift. Also, we don't open/change out the ventric system unless we have no other choice (line...

  24. How should I handle this situation?

    RoxanRN replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    I glad his experience got better. If he is still in the hospital when you get this, I'd suggest to have a talk with the house supervisor before he leaves. One of the very first signs of bleeding in...

  25. How should I handle this situation?

    RoxanRN replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    I would follow-through with these wonderful suggestions (most definitely talk and/or write letters to the manager, her boss, her boss's boss, and her boss's boss's boss, etc - all the way to the CEO)....
