    xoCrash replied to PacoUSA's topic in Connecticut Nursing

  3. IV Benadryl

    xoCrash replied to kmrn1737's topic in Emergency

    I was in the ED once being tested for flu and ruling out meningitis. I had a raging headache while I was there and asked for ibuprofen. I got IV Benadryl instead. I was out in a minute and have never...

  4. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    xoCrash replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've had my fair share of nasty things said to me working in a SNF, but the one that I cannot let go of wasn't said by a patient, but my new DON. "...you're JUST an LPN.."

  8. CTCCNP 2016 Applicants

  10. CTCCNP 2016 Applicants

    xoCrash replied to Ariana214's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    My understanding is that it's a required pre req? And honestly I don't think I can score high enough on the TEAS because of the science portion without it. The study guide just isn't working for my...

  11. CTCCNP 2016 Applicants

    xoCrash replied to Ariana214's topic in Connecticut Nursing

  13. Who worked New Years? How was your shift?

    xoCrash replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    Sent a lady out 911 with O2 at 70% on 10L via mask. She had a recent dx of UTI. I'm going to bet on sepsis. I floated so that's about the extent of what I know about her. Oh.. And short staffed all...

  14. Buying a new car for a new nurse ??

    xoCrash replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

    A great set of all weather tires are just as good as snow tires! All the years I lived in CT, I never once had snow tires. The cars I drove while living there were a Chevy Cavalier, Volkswagen Jetta,...

  15. Buying a new car for a new nurse ??

    xoCrash replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

    Agree on the tires. I had a 01 civic coupe when I lived in CT and it handled better in the snow than my moms Jeep. If tires and brakes are all you need, invest in that instead of taking on a big car...

  20. INR LABS

    xoCrash replied to nikita12's topic in General Nursing

    Unless orherwise specified by a doctor, inr range for a resident on Coumadin is 2.0-3.0. Too low means they need a higher dose, too high means they need a lower dose. Always call the doc when your inr...

  21. How Many Points Did You Have?

    xoCrash replied to Curiousnurse83's topic in LPN to RN

    Looks like when I apply I'll only have 39 points thanks to a low overall GPA haunting me from my BS degree 5 years ago. Do I even have a
