   remotefuse posted a topic in General Nursing

   I am trying to figure out what I am missing about this rhythm. If a patient is stable, on a cardiac floor, and they are in this rhythm, with a rate of 75, what do you do?

   CNA to RN

   remotefuse replied to Mary3010's topic in General Nursing

   It wouldnt make it quicked, probably slower since you would have to dedicate the time to attend cna training. Overall, its a great idea though. A lot of the great nurses I know started off as cnas first

   How Much Junk do you Keep?

   remotefuse replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

   if it's a powerpoint from 10 years ago, I would bet it has outdated information. If your serious about decluttering, I would recommend this book, The life Changing Art of Tidying Up. It really helped to change my relationship with objects in general...
