    Tell me about nursing, and what you are expected to know/do

    Julius Seizure replied to hopefullblue's topic in General Nursing

    (This is long. Sorry not sorry!) -First off, I would love to hear about what your average day is like. And if you have a specialty, what are the pros and cons of your specialty? Average day: -7a-7p...

    Epinephrine and coronary arteries

    Julius Seizure replied to miamiheatrn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the article is specifically about the coronaries. Don't feel bad for my patients though, the babies don't usually ask me about that

    Julius Seizure replied to ORRN0808's topic in Patient Medications

    Florida Nurses, I have questions

    Julius Seizure replied to dominiquejade's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Florida can be a great place to live. Yes you can make more in other states....but being paid in sunshine isn't nothing. Living in Florida is something people either love or hate. I loved

    Epinephrine and coronary arteries

    Julius Seizure replied to miamiheatrn's topic in General Nursing

    If you google it like I just did, one of the top results is a research article by the AHA that specifically discusses that question. So you tell

    IV Dextrose in Hyperkalemia

    Julius Seizure replied to bear14's topic in Emergency

    When in doubt, always check a drug reference like micromedex before administration of a drug that isn't familiar to you. Many facilities make one available on their intranet

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    Julius Seizure replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    Y'all are misreading what OC said. She said maybe the MANAGER isn't decent. NOT that the OP might not be

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    Julius Seizure replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree that being flagged twice probably was a fatal blow. But I still think that as a traveler, one flag was enough

    Am I able to get a raise once I get my BSN?

    Julius Seizure replied to nightflower's topic in General Nursing

    We get 1% added to our annual salary. But it is factored into the max 3% annual raise that you can get....so, at least in the ICU, you probably just will essentially get less credit for all the other...

    Want to swap to ICU but I cry during codes

    Julius Seizure replied to Aliareza's topic in MICU, SICU

    True. This may take some real soul searching on your part, about if you are willing to give ICU a chance or think you can swing it. Theres a possibility that once you become accustomed to the ICU...

    Treating Respiratory Failure With Ativan/Lorazapam

    Julius Seizure replied to shellyscorner's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If she is panicky and perhaps tachypneic, and fighting against the bipap, she is using her oxygen reserves more quickly, right? That's not good for her. So maybe a little Ativan to help chill her out...

    Duke MSN Fall 2016

    Julius Seizure replied to kanhosa's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I interviewed for this specialty this past spring. Very general, like for a job interview. "What are your goals?", "how to you plan to survive the busy grad school curriculum", "tell me about a time...

    The rudest thing that's ever been said to you by a patient or family

    Julius Seizure replied to nikkole318's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The rudest thing that's ever been said to you by a patient or family

    Julius Seizure replied to nikkole318's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't call your response wrong at all. I think it was a completely reasonable way for someone to react to such an inappropriate comment. I don't believe that being a nurse requires me to bite my...

    What is with this angry nurse?

    Julius Seizure replied to itsybitsy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with the poster who said she may have been brusque, but perhaps not as specifically angry as you have perceived. I imagine that perhaps she is just a matter of fact person? Perhaps she wasn't...

    Falsely accused of med diversion

    Julius Seizure replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    I get what you are explaining, it made sense. Traveling can suck - no trust, no job security. I would be very upset by that

    What is with this angry nurse?

    Julius Seizure replied to itsybitsy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, she coulda been sweeter about it, but I definitely do think a brief history is important (in nicu and adults). Not a blow by blow including 3 week old apgars, but I always like to know how the...
