Hi guys, at work when they are short of staff they beg me to do double shifts or come in my days off then in the same week tell me I have to be off on a day I'm supposed to work because they are "low on census" or what ever reason they might have so I will end up losing my overtime is that even right? All those stress will be for nothing. need your insight on this.

Okay thanks for the reply guys! gosh I still have a lot to learn. Yes I know its ultimately up to the doctor what to prescribe but as nurses it is also good to know why doctors preferred certain medications to know the progress of our patients. I just want to fully understand them

yes and for example you have a patient with CHF and is on Digoxin so the diuretic to be used will depend on potassium levels? if patient has low potassium then Aldactone would be used instead of lasix?

Guys I'm a newly grad nurse and I just got a job and now I'm starting to prepare myself before orientation starts. I need some tips about medications. I know all the meds and its classification and action but what I'm not sure is when to use each classification. For example BP meds I know the first line should be diuretics, then beta blockers then others but why should we use this BP meds instead of others? and for diuretics why this diuretic instead of the other diuretic? I know its a noob question please help me out and also tips how you were able to get a holistic approach in combing medications, its drug interactions, the disease and etc. Did it take a long time before you knew them when you were still a new grad? please guys need advice I just want to keep on improving :)
