Power outage longer then 4 hours

One of our MD we fax the Inr and the other md we have a protocol for

We had one patient on it and he did however have heart issues - he died two days later haven't had anyone on it since

Don't write will continue to monitor - will you be there every shift to monitor this patient? This is what I was told! If it's not right feel free to correct me:-)

Colonized MRSA does not need isolation precautions so I would assume not infectious anymore but don't quote me!

So how is peritoneal dialysis? Anyone?

I work in a subacute ventilator unit and we have a full time RT on at all times - sometimes even 2! It is great!!!!!!

Doctor really? Hahahahahahahaha

Miggs73 Wow is that all we nurses do? My day consists of assessing patients continuously watching for signs of worsening condition! When a code happens pumping on someone's chest when their heart stops and giving them breaths with the ambubag! Whe...

Wow yea I have a patient that does this almost every single day:-(

We put it back in as well

All of my patients have GTubes/Peg tubes and we do instill air and check residual before each flush - I would have contacted the Dr as well and held the feed!

PA started in SNF as new grad RN 26.14 base , 5.00 diff on 2nd , 3.00 diff on 3rd

I graduated in August and got hired on straight days and I love it! I find that I could lots of experience with everything during the day but that's my opinion.

I work SNF as a new grad in PA started at 26.14/hr - 5.00 second shift diff and 3.00 third shift

Thanks for the great advice. I'm done orientation and out to the floor on Monday!

So im a new graduate nurse and am starting my first RN position on a subacute ventilator unit. Any words of advice for a newbie?

I graduated August 2013 passed boards September 2013 and no job yet!

Take it from a new grad (August) who is having much trouble. I have four children to feed. You would be foolish to turn down any offer. There many new nurses that would die to find a hospital job (including myself). Take it!!!!!!

Hi graduated in August and passed NCLEX in September with my ADN. Put in lots of apps and had 3 interviews - 1 said since I'm a new grad they would start me at LPN rate - what???? One was at a doctors office which was only going to pay low teens! ...

So I graduated in August with my associates and have been looking for a job ever since! I really want a hospital job but no such luck! I recently got offered a position at a rehabilitation center on the vent unit but it's only 4 days every 2 weeks ...

Today I got a call to interview at a hospital on a med surg unit:-). Now I don't know!

It's doable - I got married 2 months before graduation at a beach 5 hours away and we stayed a whole week! I graduated with high honors and passed my NCLEX first try! Good luck and congrats!

I'm in PA and graduated August and still no luck finding my first RN position

Doesn't potassium follow sodium?? The only ones I know are inverse are phosphorus and calcium!!!!
