Lol...when she took off the homeless guys socks and couldn't figure out why there was an aroma shortly afterwards

I had a hold for a funeral home..so we kept him in the room ...and report was DRT...dead right there..lol

I have been an ER nurse for 13 years..I can remember EVERY pedi code, I will share some advice a medic shared with me.. After cracking all 3,pedi codes we pronounced..my son at the time was the age of the baby..I was an emotional wreck...a couple hours later I took a break and started tocry again..and a seasoned.medic said What's wrong Jonesy?? I recited everything including the fact that I cried in front of the family and how embarrassed I was..My medic friend gave me a hug and said Don't be afraid to cry in front of or with your pts.. it let's them know.that on top of all that head smarts, you treated their family from the heart!! I have passed that advice on many a night,especially in the pit where we are known for.being tuff as nails. It's okay to still.look back and cry kid, that makes you human and humane!!!

For the record..I hate Care plans..lol..but ALWAYS remember SAFETY should be one of those things at the top of the list. Is he at risk for falls? etc etc. Cant go wrong with pt safet for example. Pt at risk for falls r/t MS as evident by contractions limiting physical mobility. We all had to go through it..Good Luck!!

I have done ER nursing for 13 years, Hydralazine is used often in HTN crisis. Go back and ask the doc..that way you know for sure and can look it up. Good luck. Years ago we used procardia as htn crisis often goes hand in hand with pulmonary HTN. Good Luck!!

Has her MD entertained that she may have a clot. DIB without resolve despite steroids,bronchodilaters etc..I think she should definitly get a second opinion. Good luck!!
