  4. Parmeters for Infusion pump

    anonymurse replied to Rajeshkumar's topic in General Nursing

    We put lots of pts on cardizem @ 5 or 10mL/H and NTG at 3 to 6mL/H without accompanying IVFs and the site stays good, so I don't see why NS @ 3-10mL/H wouldn't KVO just as

    anonymurse replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    anonymurse replied to mamamerlee's topic in General Nursing

  7. IS IT POSSIBLE??

    anonymurse replied to EILEEN456's topic in General Nursing

  11. Air in the line!!! What am I doing wrong?

    anonymurse replied to juliannaUT's topic in General Nursing

    OK, when there is no bubble and the pump says "air in the line" then press down the little doohickey that holds down the line after the cassette, the one after the air sensor. Make sure it

  12. is nursing even a good career choice right now?

    anonymurse replied to tware's topic in General Nursing

    If you need to work, the choice is not whether to go into nursing or not, it's what field to pick above all others. So

  13. Bed Alarms

    anonymurse replied to LeloFallz's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  16. Ever Refuse a MD order?

    anonymurse replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely not. By the time you're in court you've been out of a job for a long time, and your kids are starving. So the "standard to meet" is everything and anything that convinces those in your...

    anonymurse replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but not for fun, for survival. It was definitely license threatening. I can't go into the details, but here are the generalities: 1. When your license is threatened by an order, choose the...

  18. A worn out topic

    anonymurse replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I try to show everyone little kindnesses, aides, docs, everyone. It's not something you can turn on and off like a light switch. I'd rather default to on than

  19. RN to BSN: Looking for an online RN program quick

    anonymurse replied to Stargazedaisy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The RN to BSN programs I've looked at give you transfer credits for the license itself. That means you have to hold it

  20. Air in the line!!! What am I doing wrong?

    anonymurse replied to juliannaUT's topic in General Nursing

    For some reason, air likes to hang out in the flow regulator (cassette). This is bad because the air sensor is right below the flow regulator. Turn the flow regulator off, hang the bag and spike it,...

    anonymurse replied to synergy89's topic in Men in Nursing

  25. Hourly Rounding

    anonymurse replied to Erianne1074's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    When it appears a pt's condition may be deteriorating, there may be more than one nurse in that room continuously until we know what's going on and where we're going with it. Or it may be that a pt's...
