    What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

    Julius Seizure replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    I am the opposite. I find it SO satisfying when you suction a big clump of mucous out that is so thick that it won't even go through the suctioning

    Julius Seizure replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    All I can say is thank goodness there was a trained nurse around to handle the case. BTW some brands of those adhesive remover pads actually ARE just citrus

    Many places have a 90 day new hire probationary period. You can't bet they wouldn't think twice about letting you go if they changed their minds. It's just

    Julius Seizure replied to lorelei13's topic in General Nursing

    Found a resource for you: Scroll down about 1/3 of the page for your specific question about what to do if you aspirate blood, but the rest of the page is a good resource also. Ask the Experts:...

    OK to piggyback IV potassium?

    Julius Seizure replied to MeganC012's topic in Patient Medications

    Probably because I've never hung more than a 60ml syringe of KCL at once (usually less than 10ml), so I've never had that particular experience ? Learned something

    Here Now Gone Tomorrow

    Julius Seizure replied to WonderingWhichWay's topic in General Nursing

    Another vote for suggesting that you consider this very carefully and shadow a nurse if you can. I had no idea the kind of labor that nursing was before I went into it. I am just 30, and my feet,...

    OK to piggyback IV potassium?

    Julius Seizure replied to MeganC012's topic in Patient Medications

    My only concern would be the "what if" someone were to assume that primary line was saline and not potassium, and without paying attention started infusing it inappropriately. Potassium is not...
