    What is the most important Pathophysiology for Nurse Anesthesia?

    ixchel replied to Ultraposh's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I did! No sense in answering without all the info! Since you're not yet in the program, then, why not pop through all of it? Wouldn't hurt to refresh before school, if it really isn't that painful to...

    What is the most important Pathophysiology for Nurse Anesthesia?

    ixchel replied to Ultraposh's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oral cavity - this one is a big deal with intubation and dysphasia. Infection. Hemodynamics. The thing is, though, they are ALL connected. Liver and kidneys affect meds. Kidneys, lungs and heart are...

    ixchel replied to Davey Do's topic in Nursing Humor

    Never woulda guessed that. I thought it was a nursing reference that went right over my head, this being yellow side and threads getting yanked for not being nursing

    ixchel replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Geez, how careless! You should know all of the detz, right down to the make and model of the machines that secured the locks of your safes/cabinets. Anything less? YOU ARE A DANGER TO SOCIETY! A...

    Well this is helpful. What I get from this is "if you're not an expert, don't bother starting the conversation." Pretty absurd, don't you

    What classes did you take with A&P?

    ixchel replied to kayclarke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think this is a reasonable course load. My first semester back to school in 12ish years, I took A&P1, eng 101, intro to psych, intro to soc, and this pretty lame "how to college" half semester,...

    Could you even imagine being that child, growing up knowing you killed your sibling? Being the parent of that child, trying so hard to not have that influence your feelings and behaviors toward the...

    Should Healthcare Professionals Ask About Guns in the Home?

    ixchel replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    You would physically take action against a nurse for asking if you have a firearm? Are you serious? This sounds like a threat. Comments like this make me strongly support psych evals for all people...

    Should Healthcare Professionals Ask About Guns in the Home?

    ixchel replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    It drives me nuts when someone defends one thing by saying, "but all these other things cause more harm!" That is a completely irrelevant point that proves nothing. It doesn't reduce the statistic you...

    Why DNP and not MD?

    ixchel replied to koreanjohn32's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This absolute carelessness will kill your patients. Your nurses' notes and assessments are your FIRST clue when your patient is declining. Feel free to ignore that. When you are testifying in your...

    Should Healthcare Professionals Ask About Guns in the Home?

    ixchel replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I can't figure out the right way to respond to this. Most civil liberties aren't protecting a person's right to carry a thing that is by its very definition created to do harm. That is not an opinion...

    How do you explain the DNP?

    How do you explain the DNP?

    ixchel replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I can't believe I'm going to respond to you in a meaningful way. You're responding as though MDs don't use consults as well. This is absurd. Literally every provider defers to specialty consults when...

    Can I be rehired?

    ixchel replied to aeminer's topic in General Nursing

    Either you have missed the point or I did not make it understandably. Only two hospitals exist in OP's reasonable driving distance. TWO, both run by the same company. Given that an obvious...

    How do you explain the DNP?

    ixchel replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    According to another NP vs. MD thread started recently (and, I believe, has been removed), Anders claims to be an NP student, or will be soon. I think??? The way that thread evolved, no way Anders...

    ixchel replied to aeminer's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I don't know much about this, but if it is in no way possible to alter your hair for a follicle test, I think it would be a good idea to talk to HR before applying. Let them know you've had a...

    How do you explain the DNP?

    ixchel replied to FreudianSlip's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    In this climate of seeing continual need to reinforce, educate, and legitimize the role of APRNs, the two above posts are NOT helpful. If any of you has encountered faculty saying any of the above,...

    Where are all of the holistic nurses?

    ixchel replied to PaleoNurse's topic in Holistic

    I'm not understanding how your approach in these scenarios was "holistic" (as in, the "specialty", not its actual definition). Your responses in these situations were responses any nurse might have,...

    If an IV catheter is coming out, can you just push it back in?

    ixchel replied to Vani1925's topic in General Students

    I grab chlorhexadine, uncover, assess, clean, attempt reinsertion, check for patency, recover if it's good. I don't see a point in sticking a patient more times if the already established IV can be...
