    Pediatric cardiac surgery

    Julius Seizure posted a topic in Michigan Nursing

    Anyone in this field in Michigan? I currently work in Florida, and I want to move back to my home state, but I love my area of nursing! Seems that I'll be limited to Ann Arbor or maybe Grand Rapids....

    Physical for new job

    Julius Seizure posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'd like to lodge an official complaint

    Julius Seizure replied to ixchel's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I second your complaint. Does that mean we get to have a official vote to change the rules

    Horrible Professor!

    Julius Seizure replied to phoenixnim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes...yes I did take calc 1&2....and no they weren't required for my program. But not all programs are the same....so why would anyone assume that everyone's prerequisites were the same as...

    Horrible Professor!

    Julius Seizure replied to phoenixnim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of my undergrad seemed to be power points filled with text verbatim from the textbook, and the teacher reading the slides to us for the length of class. I could do that on my own. I honestly...

    Giving injections to babies

    Julius Seizure replied to Dragonstrike's topic in General Nursing

    In what scenario would a responsible adult not be with the baby when you arrived? It makes no sense that the child would be alone....giving injections to an unsedated baby takes two people, in my...

    Got fired for changing fluid rate

    Julius Seizure replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, so I read the rest now. Um I have nothing important to add, except that this sounds like an ICU nurse move, bumping the rate before calling the doc :) (I'm in ICU, not slamming

    Happy nurses week

    Julius Seizure replied to MichelleRN34's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Happy nurses week :) My hospital decided to have a contest: all the nurses were given white paper cut outs in the shape of a nurses cap (two dimensional) and they told us to decorate them and Friday...

    I Ask For "Nothing".

    Julius Seizure replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Nursing

    This is probably true for some, but may I say that a good, supportive leader (as you sound like you are) doesn't mean that you don't cater in a lunch, it just means that you ALSO support your nurses...

    How do you explain what an ABG is to families?

    Julius Seizure posted a topic in Critical Care

    I am usually pretty good at teaching families and explaining things (I think), but this one is tricky for me. How do you explain what an ABG is for to families with no medical

    The LEAST critically ill kid you've cared for in PICU :)

    Julius Seizure replied to meanmaryjean's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Some of these kids also stay because we know that one look at their breathing pattern (which is baseline for that kid) would send them straight back to the ICU anyway. For what its worth, In my PICU,...

    Julius Seizure replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Critical Care

    PICU Advice

    Julius Seizure replied to asats's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I would chose based on this: hypothetically, if you never got to PICU and had to stay with the job you took forever, would you be happier in adult ICU or general peds? Either one can be a step to...

    Is it really necessary to learn to read an ekg? anyone really use it?

    Julius Seizure replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, you should have a basic knowledge. I mean I understand if you can't distinguish between all the different arrhythmia, but knowing that it isn't a normal rhythm is essential for all nurses, IMO....

    Is it okay to tell a patient to not disrespect you

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

    I generally (if the patient is safe and stable) will offer to have the charge nurse or manager speak to them. I'm not confrontational enough to say "hey don't disrespect

    The LEAST critically ill kid you've cared for in PICU :)

    RN as patient in own hospital

    Julius Seizure replied to shazzrn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think you definitely need to consider if you are ok with her losing her job over this before going to HR or the privacy officer. If that is something you don't want, then I think you need to just...

    Julius Seizure replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    Charting...what to say?

    Julius Seizure replied to chrisrn24's topic in General Nursing

    After thinking about the fact that doctors and police officers are "allowed" and even taught to write by saying "I"....well it seems to me like perhaps some of the reason that nurses/social work/etc...
