Wait! Are you saying the post-op open heart patients were only getting Ofirmev?! Yikes!! I've only ever seen it used as an adjunct, usually in addition to a dilaudid or morphine PCA pump.

Ofirmev is great stuff!! I saw it used a lot for fresh post-op patients and even some in the ICU. One patient described the medication as "magical". But I learned the hard way not to walk into a patient's room and announce that you are about to gi...
I totally agree that the nurse to patient ratios are absurd and something needs to change soon! However, I don't think that the hospitals profit more from re-admissions. Because of the ACA there are now penalties for Medicare readmissions especially...
Despite my very best effort to prepare myself for nursing school, I wound up as overwhelmed as you are now when I started nursing school a year ago.You know why? Because I don't think there is anything that can prepare you for nursing school! You hea...

I had the same problem. I thought it might be because I also applied to the RT program and only that application is showing. I did get a postcard saying that they recieved my application.
I was surprised by the lack of recent chatter also. I was doing ok with waiting until this past week. Now I'm a nervous wreck and I feel so on edge. My other option is an RT program which I just found out I got into for the Fall. The only problem ...
Grey Lady, Thank you very much for taking the time to provide so much information not just to my question but to all of the other questions you have answered. You've really helped to alleviate some of the stress and anxiety that I have experienced du...
