  1. Commute for Job I would love, or less travel to Job I don't like

    LearningByMistakes replied to countrygalrn's topic in Nursing Career

    I’d tell you what I’m thinking right now BlueDevil, about you and YOUR carbon footprint, but that would get me kicked off here. Just sayin’. And as for the question, take the job you would...

  2. Where does everyone stand in the Trauma Room?

    LearningByMistakes replied to keithdb2's topic in Emergency

    I've also seen Trauma Centers use "colored foot prints" on the floor, for where people are to stand, color coded to their

  3. I got the job!!!! Two in fact!

    LearningByMistakes replied to itsnowornever's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No offense, but then you're not doing CCT, you're simply doing IFT (i.e. won't transport unles stable, no vent, no arterial lines). And, as you've been told more then once, you do NOT have enough...

  4. Please advise: trauma center v. non-trauma center

    LearningByMistakes replied to LG1137's topic in Emergency

    I would take the level IV trauma center designation out of the equation. Not knowing where it is, or anything about it, my guess is that it's the ONLY hospital in that area and would get the same...

  5. Anyone else have a problem with this ad?

  6. Defibrillation question

    LearningByMistakes replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    As a 25 year BCLS/ACLS Instructor I feel it's important to advise you that using 1 set of pads to remove hair and then placing a second set on the hairless area is a myth. A few years ago (2007 or...

  7. ACLS help!!!

    LearningByMistakes replied to chris1309's topic in General Nursing

    Do NOT get an older book. It needs to be the current book as the information changes from update to update. Good

  8. ACLS help!!!

    LearningByMistakes replied to chris1309's topic in General Nursing

    As an ACLS Instructor for 25 years I can generally put new Nurses/Medics/Docs into 2 cats; those who read the book (they passed) and those who did NOT read the book (they

  9. Stethoscope covers OK for men?

    LearningByMistakes replied to leftysoftball's topic in Men in Nursing

    There is NOTHING manly about a scope cover.

  10. Which shift do you prefer, 7pm-7am or 7am-7pm and why?

  12. Need Ideas on teaching ACLS to nursing students

    LearningByMistakes replied to bert0206's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    as an acls instructor since 1987 and having been involved with providing acls classes for a few nursing programs over the years, might i suggest that having an outside group of experienced acls...

    LearningByMistakes replied to happyRN21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My mistake, I thought we were here to learn. I'm sure you read the research. Have a nice

  14. amp of D50

    LearningByMistakes replied to happyRN21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Perhaps you might want to read the articles, just presenting what CURRENT research is showing. AND mixing D50 in NSS to make D25/D10/etc. is an accepted

  15. amp of D50

    LearningByMistakes replied to happyRN21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think you might find D50 to be on it's way out. If the studies continue to show the same results, there is no advantage & MANY down sides to the use of D50, when D10 will do the same thing. I...

  16. amp of D50

    LearningByMistakes replied to happyRN21's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Something you might look into is the use of D10 vs. D50 for hypoglycemia ( Journal of Emergency Primary Health Care ). The use of D10 was found to be AS quick, as the use of D50 to correct...

  17. On call pay

    LearningByMistakes replied to ontheDLnurse's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I would check with the NLRB. If you are required to stay" in hospital" (or on grounds), you should be being paid time and a half (if OT). If you are able to be at home, that's different. In the 80's -...

  18. Common ER Meds

    LearningByMistakes replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    as an acls instructor since 1987 (along withbls/pals/abls/etc.) i can assure you that “playing" with "fred the head” in theairway station was never to be considered being taught intubation. one of...
