everyone has to find what they like. I love ICU, hated ms... its all a matter of personality... I couldnt take it in ER. Think about what you like about nursing, and what you dont. I didnt feel like I had enough bedside time in ms or er, so ICU was perfect for me.

A couple things to add... the bp in the lower ext will depend on other health issues like PVD. Ive used that to adjust pressors in a pinch, but its not optimal. Ca or renal failure keep you from using the upper ext. A Lines are not always available, nor do the Drs always want them in... so you work with what you have. I say know your pt. If you get a higher bp in the lower ext, there is something wrong with that, and its not a good number to titrate by.

yea, probably had nothing to do with the diprovan, and more to do with a cocaine addict unhappy with the hospital life...
