  1. Charting Bloopers

    AnthonyD replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

    In a post-code progress note by a cardiologist. "The etiology of patient's breast appears to be hypoxic in nature." Ummm... I think he meant "arrest." Freudian slip ya

  2. ICU RNs floated to floors?

    AnthonyD replied to jamisaurus's topic in Critical Care

    Even if not managing the ventilator itself, care or "management" of a ventilated patient does often require more time and attention. I do basically agree with this: "I can't manage 6 patients time...

  3. What type of role do you take as a preceptor with non GN nurses?

    AnthonyD replied to Codeblue1982's topic in MICU, SICU

    Just based on your brief description, I'd be hard pressed to say there's a lot you can do to help this person succeed in the ICU. You can only do so much as preceptor, and changing someone's work...

  4. Letting very young children see a dying patient

    AnthonyD replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in Critical Care

    If the family makes the decision that they would like the child to be there, then by all means I will do my best to make it happen. It isn't my place to judge what is appropriate for someone else's...

  5. Landing that first ICU job..or at least an interview

    AnthonyD replied to scrubulator's topic in MICU, SICU

    I don't think it would be inappropriate for you to call nurse recruitment at your hospital and ask them for some advice. You can even see if it would be possible to shadow a nurse in the SICU. This...

  6. what is the best practice for rotating the ETT

    AnthonyD replied to icuRNmaggie's topic in Critical Care

    I believe it is recommended to reposition Q2hrs with oral care. If you're using the Hollister Anchorfast product, their instructions state: "Reposition the endotracheal tube side to side at least...

  7. New Grads going straight into critical care

    AnthonyD replied to nursepeaches's topic in MICU, SICU

    Personally, I believe new grads can thrive in the ICU. I don't mean every new grad can handle it, but being a new grad can actually have some advantages in the ICU: 1. Pathophysiology is still fresh...

  8. Career decision after completing nursing school

    AnthonyD replied to tryingtogetpaid's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest trying to figure out what YOU like, and what you want to do. It's great to choose a career that pays well, but why would you dive headfirst into a career you don't know if you'll...

    Haven't been to this thread in a while, looks like more people have chimed in lately! Great to see so many people on here will be in the May class. I'm also in Rochester and have lived here since 04...

    AnthonyD replied to aalya123's topic in New York Nursing

    *slightly off topic* Why is the name of the person in the admissions office edited out of posts? Just

  14. University of Rochester Accelerated Nursing Program - ABPNN

    AnthonyD replied to aalya123's topic in New York Nursing

    I stopped in to drop off my paperwork/deposit to ******* on Friday, and she said the May program will be 112 students, if I remember correctly. The largest class so far. To those people that haven't...

    AnthonyD replied to aalya123's topic in New York Nursing

    Ah, Gotcha. Yeah, I had my interview way back in the second week of October - seems like forever ago. I just heard from a friend who spoke to Elaine Andolina (director of admissions). They have...

  18. University of Rochester Accelerated Nursing Program - ABPNN

    AnthonyD replied to aalya123's topic in New York Nursing

    I had my interview last month too. Haven't heard anything yet, but I am very nervous and can't wait! Did you interview in person or over the phone, and who did you interview

  19. BSN Interview Attire?

    AnthonyD posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    What did you guys wear for your interview?? I'm interviewing at the University of Rochester for the accelerated BSN program in 2 weeks, and was planning to wear a suit. Now I'm thinking that may be...

  22. good ECG/cardiac book

    AnthonyD replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    Another vote for Dale Dubin's Rapid Interpretation of EKG's - a very straightforward and easy to read book. He lays everything out in a clear and concise

  23. Males Nurses in %

    AnthonyD replied to unreallly's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Cannot recall the source, but an article I read earlier this year put the number at around

  24. Wondering About Accelerated BSN

    AnthonyD replied to cheesetoe's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever school you apply to, make sure they will take Anatomy and Physiology from separate schools. Someone in my Physiology class was taking it a second time because he had taken anatomy at one...

  25. Metal Penis??

    AnthonyD replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Students
