    EyeSeeYuRN replied to RNsteve's topic in Emergency

    Deep breath, relax. The worst that can happen is you'll have to take it again. More knowledge

  3. Sedation in ICU... your opinions/ experiences?

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to IheartICUnursing's topic in MICU, SICU

    Expat, that's very interesting that you don't use restraints. I can see how that could be employed in our unit for our standard resp failure patients, but that's not all we have. How do you control...

  4. A mini BHU in ICU

    EyeSeeYuRN posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    I work in a 16 bed ICU in a rather rural community, and because of budget restraints, the BHU upstairs was closed down quite a few years ago. So, we in ICU get the behavioral health patients... We...

  5. A mini BHU in ICU

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to EyeSeeYuRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Yup, the lack of a locked unit is a problem. What usually happens with these patients is that they first end up in ICU because they are not medically stable (receiving dialysis, vented, etc) after...

  6. How stressful and rewarding is working in any intensive care unit?

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to Amine's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to EyeSeeYuRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did full time program (3 terms) plus worked full time (nights). It was grueling...not difficult material but time consuming work... But now I'm done. Worth it in every regard for

  9. Why not Levo?

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to EyeSeeYuRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Last ditch efforts were definitely in play

  10. What is your window to complete your q4h assessments?

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Working night shift adds another whole level of needed creativity, especially if your patients is a walker/talker. See lab duck in the room at 0315? You betcha I'm grabbing any necessary equipment...

  11. Sedation in ICU... your opinions/ experiences?

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to IheartICUnursing's topic in MICU, SICU

    Anybody using ABCDE bundle? Outcomes for well sedated patients are pretty poor. We're trying to adopt some of these aspects in our unit, but having more awake patients is definitely a lot more...

  12. Why not Levo?

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to EyeSeeYuRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to foreverLaur's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    On the same note, what do you do for these patients? I've seen Osler's nodes on extremities before, but what about pulmonary/brain emboli risk? Is there any way to break these up to keep them from...

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to dlc17RN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    This is an awesome EKG simulator: http://www.skillstat.com/ECG_Sim_demo.html To work the game, press GAME, then RESET, then

    EyeSeeYuRN replied to EyeSeeYuRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi Emily. The program that I am doing is not a "specialty" program, it's just the bachelors of science in nursing. And I can't really speak to how hard it was to get into OHSU, because Oregon has a...
