    PRNketamine replied to cab683's topic in Post Graduate Students

  4. I have the time (to pee)

    PRNketamine replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The only time I can't pee is when I'm in the room with an intubated poorly sedated pt and no one to cover. Although mostly I am too dehydrated to need to pee

  8. How long is the new grad orientation at your hospital? What about experienced nurses?

    PRNketamine replied to Niki_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As a new grad for the picu I had 1 month classroom and 2 months preceptorship. That is the same for experienced nurses coming to our unit. The only people who get less are travelers have 1 day...

    PRNketamine replied to PurpleDelight's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Update?

  10. WHY do I need a BSN?

    PRNketamine replied to AnnMarie52471's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I don't know where you live.... Where I live it is nearly impossible for ADN's to get a job in an acute care hospital. I believe this would be the point of a BSN. What is the point of a bunch of MSN's...

  11. Which of these job options is the "most correct"?

    PRNketamine replied to jpalise's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If it were me, I would take the SICU position. I went into PICU right out of school and it was the best. I learned more than you could

  15. Should I Accept this Job Offer?

    PRNketamine replied to PurpleDelight's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I say take it! I commute 1 hour by car, I was taking the train which was 2hours. You get used to it. You can read, sleep ext. which is nice. I have people that I work with that commute 3 hours

  16. PICU Question!

    PRNketamine replied to PICUisforcoolRNs's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Nope... We are in the same boat, hardly enough pumps to go around as it

  17. What's the biggest mistake you've ever made as a nurse? What did you learn from it?

    PRNketamine replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

    mmm.... Someone gave me Reglan IVP too fast once.... that was

  18. Patho: Potassium/Hydrogen exchange mechanism????!!!

    PRNketamine replied to Nursing2102's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What I am confused about is the statement about K+ being retained or excreted opposite hydrogen. In acid base imbalances the lungs and kidneys can help to regulate balance. The lungs can retain or...

  19. Patho: Potassium/Hydrogen exchange mechanism????!!!

    PRNketamine replied to Nursing2102's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hydrogen is an acid. An increase in hydrogen ions causes a low pH and acidosis. A decrease in hydrogen ions causes a high pH and

  20. Patho: Potassium/Hydrogen exchange mechanism????!!!

    PRNketamine replied to Nursing2102's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Part 1 is definitely at the cellular level. I don't believe part 2 makes sense. If you are excreting hydrogen you would no longer be

    PRNketamine replied to GamerGirL337's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Congrats! I started in Peds ICU as a new grad. I learned so much in that first year, and continue to. My advice is to never be afraid to ask a question or for help. Just be open to your co-workers...

  23. Patho: Potassium/Hydrogen exchange mechanism????!!!

    PRNketamine replied to Nursing2102's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No idea what "excreted" and "retained" is referring to. In acidosis there are too many hydrogen ions. So the cell will take on some of the extra hydrogen in exchange for potassium. That is why...

  24. New grad who wanted ICU, got med surg, advice?

    PRNketamine replied to meagenreason's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My point is there is always going to be something someone has never done before. I disagree that working in a med surg floor would have given that nurse the opportunity to have a patient with a CBI....

    PRNketamine replied to meagenreason's topic in First Year After Licensure

    RNsArewe, Nursing is a profession of life long learning. New grad or not, there is always SOMETHING you've never done. I don't believe in berating anyone for asking. Think of the consequences of not...
