Everyone is right. The different focuses b/w units make what's important in report totally different. Kuddos to u, I know I couldn't manage 6 or 7 pts. You are competent enough to detect changes to warrant transfer. So don't feel dumb or belittled. Just glance over last few days labs and X-rays and note changes. I have mrt a floor pt and taken them to icu and caught the grief you feel for no reason. Some are just mad to get a pt. she was asking why we didn't clean her up b/c she pooped in transport. I told her it was best to get her here for intubation rather than a bath in the elevator. She didn't say another word

Serotonin syndrome from Paxil. It has hyperreflexia, agitation, high hr and temp. It can cause rhabdo. Tx w/ serotonin antagonist ?clonipine?

I like it, I love the wimba or online classes

I started the acnp in jan we did not have to go for orientation.

There is no excuse for making new nurses "sink or swim." You and your preceptor should get the first heart of the day. To help learn swan numbers and use critical thinking, try pacep.org. Just register, it's free. Ask tons of questions. Hope it helps

Good luck, as classes start today. I'm taking pharm and research. It is going to be tough w/ 3 kids and working full time. Pray for me!

I have done background and drug test. It still lists as a hold though. Gonna figure out the immunization and physical today. I am sooo excited and have no clue what to expect!

New to forum. I start spring '13 acnp. I read many comments on here to decide between USA or uab. Finally, choose uab. God, I hope that was the right thing to do. I live in Memphis, TN. I was placed in Patho and issues, but I've taken Patho and health policy (not sure if same as issues). Good luck, hope to hear great advice, and maybe other students in Memphis:)

You know entire civilizations have been whipped out by beginnings such as this....If only a good NP had been present, maybe to get a H & P?
