  1. Ketamine for Depression

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with Meriwhen...I would like to see more research, peer review and if the trials are duplicable. However, if it works well, it might be a good adjunct or even alternative therapy to

  2. what are some typical ECG dysrhythmia progressions you have seen often?

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to unsaint77's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen ST go to AFib, back to sinus, before the guy went into VFib. He had a syncopal episode earlier in the day, declined transport to the hospital. As we turned him over to the transporting...

  3. A stupid question on Sympathetic nerve system

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to micstn's topic in General Nursing

    I really have nothing to add to this except that it gives me a new way of looking at the phrase "scared enough to pee your pants":lol2: And it is a good discussion and review of the SNS/PNS and

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I figured...it has been one those brain-draining days.

  5. POA vs POAH....

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    I have not heard of a POAH either. In Colorado, where I live, it is MDPOA-Medical Durable Power of Attorney. For my mother, I have both a Financial POA, and a

  6. Sepsis a syndrome?

    ClearBlueOctoberSky posted a topic in General Nursing

    To continue a debate that I am having on another forum... How would you classify sepsis? Would you classify it as a syndrome, a disease process, or an inflammatory response? For a little...

  7. Sepsis a syndrome?

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to ClearBlueOctoberSky's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that it is extremely important to understand the disease process that you are just "administering meds as ordered" on. If you don't, you have no way of knowing WHY your patient is being...

  8. Sepsis a syndrome?

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to ClearBlueOctoberSky's topic in General Nursing

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to ClearBlueOctoberSky's topic in General Nursing

    Esme, thanks for the information. All replies help. I was just wondering what other people thought. I enjoy the discussion. When I went through Paramedic school, not a whole lot was devoted to...

  10. What is the weirdest thing someone has been admitted to the hospital for?

  12. Anybody take the LPN Step Exam / ATI test?

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to LPN2day_RNasap's topic in LPN to RN

    I just graduated from Concorde. They provided the ATI practice program for us. If you saw one for only 25 dollars, be wary about it. The program costs around 348.00. I think you would be just fine...

  14. Code Blue

    ClearBlueOctoberSky replied to newnurseia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just to throw my two cents into the mix. I don't think ACLS has been "watered" down. What do you mean by that anyways. ACLS is a great place to start. It will help you to learn the algorithms that...
