    Support Kaci Hickox

    NICUmiiki replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I support Kaci. I think people in Kaci's situation should be submitted to a mandatory symptom watch (like what had already been happening), but as long as there are no symptoms, there should be no...

    50 days!

    NICUmiiki replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    Ob/gyn vs peds

    NICUmiiki replied to msrxchef's topic in General Students

    This is strange. You wouldn't b eligible for licensure in most (if not all) states if you don't take both. You should call the school and the board of nursing to clarify. Maybe, you take one this...

    Can someone please correct my questions

    NICUmiiki replied to brathernotsay's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Your logic leading to 10mg q3-4h seems correct based on the information you've given, although that question seems WAY out of line. My drug guide says that 10-30mg morphine PO q4h is appropriate for...

    How can I teach a patient to do priming a line?

    NICUmiiki replied to kitim's topic in General Students

    I'm sure that the question is referring to the tubing. In the hospital, you would prime the IV line (tubing), even if you were going to connect it to a saline

    Why would a patients respiratory rate be set at 28 on a mechanical ventilator?

    NICUmiiki replied to Regina518's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The vent is not set at 28. It is set at 14. The vent allows the patient to breath spontaneously, which she is doing at a rate of

    Is it okay to tape record on my phone my patient's report?

    NICUmiiki replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    It's still an application whether you download it or the manufacturer does. However, it doesn't make a difference because it won't be allowed for you to use your personal device. Who's to say you...
