  3. Hydralazine

    JSJones,RN replied to brainkandy87's topic in Emergency

    We use hydralazine quite a bit in the ER I work in. Labetalol is an ok choice...I tend to think metoprolol works better...but if their HR is in the 30's, I doubt I would choose a beta blocker. If...

  9. am i a hypocrit?

    JSJones,RN replied to xoxo0414's topic in Nursing Career

  15. am i a hypocrit?

    JSJones,RN replied to xoxo0414's topic in Nursing Career

    No, you are not a hypocrite! What I have experienced, is that the older the patient is the harder the recovery is. Usually the biggest risk comes 7 to 10 days post-op and that risk is hemorrhage at...

  20. The Mockery of Nursing

    JSJones,RN replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I couldn't agree more! As my Grandfather says, (he's 92 and can get by with saying just about whatever he wants) "Opinions are like a**holes, everybody's got one and others besides yours, and even...

  21. IM injections - divide into 2 or keep as 1?

    JSJones,RN replied to samyaira's topic in Patient Medications

    I may be looking at this all wrong but I haven't seen a response yet that was downright condescending. As far as the ones that ask for information about the med given and pt's age/size, those are...

    JSJones,RN replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
