    $10,000 penalty if you leave the ICU

    While I also understand that it is expensive to train qualified nurses, there is NO WAY IN HADES I would sign a contract with a 10 dollar much less 10,000 penalty for leaving. Wow, I guess I never knew what a priveldge I have been allotted in being a...

    my Biggest fear.....

    See if you can't work with your nursery team for deliveries that aren't yours. Ask them to let you DO thenursing interventions with them standing by as back up. This way you can get past your discomfort with someone at your side to talk you through...

    I am canceling my contract after one week

    Wow, it is funny how far things can wander sometimes. Yes, the original question was about breaking the contract. But, the OP did offer the details to which the topic swayed towards. Breaking your contract for a breach in it would be acceptable. Bre...

    Aquaphor burning skin??

    Premnrs I believe you are talking about Duoderm. I have worked in units that we had an Aquaphor protocol and we had no problems such as that related to the product. I have seen babies get the types of injuries you are noting because staff either PULL...

    What is your opinion of care??

    So you got right back, got IVF, meds, labs and xrays..... This all sounds like all of the appropriate interventions. All of these things sound like the appropriate care. Do you have an issue with the radio on? was it too loud? Do you just not lik...

    I am canceling my contract after one week

    Was there anything in your contract that stated you could recieve cash advances for emergencies? I cannot say that I have EVER worked for any company that gave cash advances.

    Driving through Hulbert

    Yes, they are legend. I do believe that the are on the states list of being watched very closely. There were a few news stories recently. They absolutely terrorized some folks of different ethicity.

    Rephase the question

    How can you possibly chart other peoples assessments or finding?????? THis would put you in a very difficult position testifying in court later.

    Question about demanding COPD patient

    Part of it I believe is that they have impaired lung funtion. Their "normal" pao2 is going to be lower than a person with healthy lungs, along with an "normally" increased paco2. They have damaged tissue that is not going to oxygenate. In the lat...

    Question about demanding COPD patient

    I would also suggest something for the anxiety. Pts with COPD typically have a very anxious, less than pleasant demeanor. Part of it is the chronic hypoxia, and sensation of SOB. Even on their best day they are still going to feel this way. Their...

    Have you ever worked in Bakersfield CA

    I did an assigment there in 2003/2004. I was in apartment on the west side of town. It was nice. It has a mall, good shopping. There are actually 5 hospitals. I worked at the County facility. The town itself isn't real exciting, but as previous...

    Fetal death after maternal death

    It would not be very long once heart rate and respirations cease. Once these are even compromised so is the oxygenation and blood flow to the placenta.

    Am I having an acute BF (Brain Fart)????

    Never seen the mag level on a pt that I have given adenocard. At least not until we ran labs AFTER the fact. I am amazed the rest of the VS were stable with a HR over 200.

    Can someone explain this please?

    Also depends on how high the sugar is. Are we talking >400? Such as a ketoacidosis? N/V/D are a good precipitator. Along with the NS bolus it is typical to give reg insulin, sodium bicarb to correct the acidosis along with the elevated sugar. ...

    US citizen giving birth in Canada

    THses are just some quotes from Motorcycle Mama. "Why should and does the government pay for about 80% of the crap they pay for and to support people (illegals, foreign countries) and causes that are the true waste of tax dollars. Didn't these old pe...

    sexual harrassment

    Zoll autopulse

    Just the sounds of the old thimpers used to just give me a sick feeling. I NEVER saw a successful resus from one of those. I was sooooo glad when they pulled them off the streets here.
