>1000 on a kid whose family brought him into the ER, saying he wasn't feeling well. The kid was pale, yellow, and looked close to death. Grandparents just shrugged and said he didn't want to get up and had been lying on the sofa for a few days (later, we found out after shooting up). Wow.

As far as medications for the ICU- it's more of class systems of meds that you want to learn and how they will be functioning. Beta-blockers, Ace Inhibitors, diuretics, calcium channel blockers, know how morphine is beneficial, what meds are used for rates, others for pressures. Go over your rhythms, pathophysiology (CHF, Afib RVR, etc.). That is a good starting place. Good luck! It will be a great learning experience!

I am the same way. Sorry kiddo, you WILL go to school today. My kids often say it's no fair their mom (and stepdad) both work in the ER. They don't get away with anything!!! :)

Have a great time! I originally started out wanting to do OB/NICU because of my experiences with my kids. I now do ER :-)
