We have a hospital policy of meds that are compatible with TPN and lipids. I am almost positive dilaudid is compatible with both.
-
We also use a rubber band and safety pin on the bed sheets. and to keep the chest tube connected to the drainage system tubing we use a gun and tie.

That's great that your so motivated! I would suggest getting a job as a tech/ cna. I know a lot of jobs want you to have hospital experience outside of your clinical's for school. The difference that I know of for new grad jobs vs any other position as an rn is this generally means that they have a mandatory program for new graduate RNs that they hire which involves some kind of extra support. They have done studies that show new grads stay longer in hospitals that offer these programs.

Cleared!

Yes! I recommend the PDA book as well. I used it for leadership and NCLEX.

Congrats! Hope it goes well for you!

I would say A. You have to give the med by the route ordered. And as a side note, you can only give meds for the reason ordered. I.e it the order says Tylenol for fever or whatever, than it cannot be given for pain. You have to follow what the order says or consult the MD

It can depend on the hospital but most I applied to took the application before I graduated. I would say apply as early as you can. I applied for one job in December/ January. (I graduated in may).

Even if you weren't completely sure of when this med us contraindicated you can used elimination. GI is out, since it's not the most important thing, diabetes is out for the same reason (can correct a metabolic problem). Then your left with airway and circulation. So used ABC. So the asthma would be the answer

What was the outcome??

I think if you have under 1 year of experience you apply to the new grad pool. I may be wrong.. You can always call and ask!

The hurst covers everything. I thought it was really great.

I second hurst!

Not including the prerequisite time

I did all of my prerequisites at a community college and transferred into a BSN program. Took me 3 years to finish.
