  1. ETOH neb treatments?

    MissJoRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Can any one explain to me a little about ETOH neb tx? A google search came up with absolutely nothing except some bars and individuals using it a new trendy high (what next...) But I'm asking about...

  2. Peds Stethoscope or not?

    MissJoRN replied to RNinJune2007's topic in Pediatric

    I can't live without my peds scope. I don't like assessing a small child with an adult scope. As the PP said, it can cover the whole chest, also, I don't think you get good contact due to the...

  3. Pt beds in the hallway

    MissJoRN replied to Nurse1966's topic in General Nursing

    Picturing myself wheeling a guy who happens to be sitting on the commode (with his hairy butt sticking out) down the hall to store him in a closet until the fire alarm is over... Seriously, no. Not...

  4. Help!! Maternity scrubs?? Are they necessary?

    MissJoRN replied to RNin2007's topic in General Nursing

    Unless Mom is on bedrest there's no reason she can't work if she wants to. As I hinted, I worked on my due date (Silently grumbling everytime I heard the lullaby played on the intercom for other...

  5. Advice for nurse considering OR

    MissJoRN replied to kdmcook's topic in Operating Room

    :rotfl: ... good

  6. Help!! Maternity scrubs?? Are they necessary?

    MissJoRN replied to RNin2007's topic in General Nursing

    I lost my first post. The summary- Maybe it was just the way my baby was positioned but I needed elastic. In the OR, I either wore a BellaBand over bigger pants or looped an elastic band around my...

  7. What is different about peds? How to adjust to each unit?

    MissJoRN replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Our meds are seperate but we keep pretty much back-up stock. Not nearly as much as Mat though where most pts get the same meds. Not only is everyone on different meds for a variety of dx, the dose...

  8. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    MissJoRN replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    Where ever I've done private duty in PA schools they are "Health aides" or "Health room techs" Actually, even RNs cannot be called "School Nurse" unless they are cetified, here. The complete opposite...

  9. Strange S.O.

    MissJoRN replied to joeb1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Ugghhh, I don't know why but I got an abusive vibe just from the way he first spoke to you. I'm sure he's hate for his wife to find out that there might be nice men in the world. I think Dayray has...

  10. observers/students and pt rights

    MissJoRN posted a topic in Operating Room

    I'm interested to hear how everybody handles all those extra people in the OR. When a pt is in any other hospital dept they meet everybody involved in their care- students, interns, job shadowers,...

  11. Change in IV Phenergan Policy

    MissJoRN replied to RNKPCE's topic in Patient Medications

    Our hospital changed policy- we're not giving it any more at all. If they do want you to give a 15 min push- can they get a few bard pumps for you? Our hospital only had them for peds but I used...

  12. observers/students and pt rights

    MissJoRN replied to MissJoRN's topic in Operating Room

    thanks, mike. and if anyone else is interested, this is the ama standard. i'm off this week so i don't have an aorn standards handy- i'll look into that when i go back. e-8.087 medical student...

  13. license to breed

    MissJoRN replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Emergency

    Don't think that didn't cross my mind, that's part of my reason for saying "assuming". The story is most memorable to me, the other details, not so much. I seem to remember this kid not being a...

  14. New Grad interested in Peds - NJ/PA area

    MissJoRN replied to RedHead23's topic in Pediatric

    I assume you're looking at St Chris's, too? I've had homecare pts and family at St Chris's, CHOP, and DuPont and I prefer St Chris. I ran into an aquaintance there one day and found out she works...

  15. observers/students and pt rights

    MissJoRN replied to MissJoRN's topic in Operating Room

    Unfortunately common courtesy may be as common as commen sense. That's why we need policy committees and I'll be bringing this issue up with ours. Typically, out of common courtesy, we do introduce...

  16. Latex Allergy

    MissJoRN replied to kleinbbc's topic in Operating Room

    We would have done it the way you

  17. Ventilator Circuit Assembly and Function???

    MissJoRN posted a topic in Pulmonary

    I'm taking a self study trach vent course for homecare, I found several resources but can't find any real info on the circuit- set up, parts, etc. Maybe I'm worrying too much about varient details,...

  18. 2 pts in the same OR room?!?!?!

    MissJoRN replied to Nursonegreat's topic in Operating Room

    I invite your doctor to follow the trend and start his own surgi-center or private hospital. And not to hold his breath waiting for the patients to come flocking in. As far as preop paper work, I...

  19. Orientation question!!!!!

    MissJoRN replied to luckyduck7's topic in Operating Room

    I really like orientation grouped by specialty- yes, you still get bounced around co-workers- some say always do it like this, the next says What! Who told you that? Never do it that way. But at...

  20. Not all doctors can read ekg strips?

    MissJoRN replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a problem with a dr not being able to read a strip or some other skill he rarely uses. It's OK, that's why we have specialists and hospitalists. I do have a problem with him not being...

  21. LPN Anesthesia Assistants

    MissJoRN replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Operating Room

    Ooop, thanks JWK! If I'm going to nit-pick, I need to nit-pick my own post, too! Thanks for pointing that out. One of those things I "know" but wasn't attentive enough. (And you are an AA,...

  22. LPN Anesthesia Assistants

    MissJoRN replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Operating Room

    Not to be nit-picky but you would be an "anesthesia tech"- assist the CRNAs and MDAs by setting up equipement, go-for ing, changing circuits, cleaning equipment, doing accu checks, hemocues, provide...

  23. 10 things you say at work lay people could get arrested for

    MissJoRN replied to sharann's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hey, what about the things the patients are saying? I treasure my OB because he suspecialized in endocrinology. A co-worker once questioned why I would go out of network and pay my office pills out...

  24. Stick it out in the OR or not?

    MissJoRN replied to Chloe07's topic in Operating Room

    I'm skimming this post and had a few thoughts- I started in a smaller/midsize hospital- it can be stressfull too. There a fewer procedures but being prepared to be on my own meant being prepared to...

  25. You know you are a PEDS nurse when...

    MissJoRN replied to HU_nurse's topic in Pediatric

    You have ever been taped snuggly to a kids IV because your friend was so eager to secure it before the wailing toddler dislodged it or because he was thrashing so hard she couldn't even see where she...
