  1. VDRF Correlation w/ Lab/Test Results -- Help!

    ckh23 replied to MJ_14's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Are you trying to correlate with how the patient's status is now or was? Technically if he is on trach collar he is no longer VDRF. I don't think you are comparing the VDRF alone, but instead looking...

  2. Lasix 100mg IV push

    ckh23 replied to emilysmom,RN's topic in Home Health

    The rate is 0 because you can't give it IV push if they don't have IV

  4. Neuromuscular Blockade protocol

    ckh23 replied to valj's topic in Patient Medications

    Is this for anything in particular? In our unit, if we have to paralyze someone we use vecuronium. We use a bolus and then place them on a drip. We then titrate that drip based on TOF. These patients...

  5. overwhelmed

    ckh23 replied to Easgaskins's topic in General Students

    Check to see what kind of local resources are available to you. Some municipalities offer assistance with child care. I would also check to see if there are any additional resources available to you...

  6. tpn feedings

    ckh23 replied to patty554's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would answer B. Although they really should state how much and what type of insulin is ordered to be administered. Assuming this a scheduled dose of insulin, such as 10 U 70/30 every morning, than I...

  8. Question about Medications and NG Tubes

    ckh23 replied to amsba20d's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How else could you administer finely crushed tablets unless they were mixed in water? I could also deliver SR tablets by crushing them, but it doesn't make it the right answer. The tablets are coated...

  9. Can someone educate me about FMLA, please?

    ckh23 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Talk with HR. There is paperwork that needs to be filled out. The sooner you start getting it filled out the better. No sense in waiting until the last second. If you plan on filing for disability,...

  10. Classmate Reported Our Instructors to the BON

    ckh23 replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

    The BON is not going to give a crap. What an idiot. You should explain to him that he'll probably have a target on his back and instructors may look for just about anything to fail him. Give him a box...

  11. NP Student introducing themself as a NP to the patients

    ckh23 replied to JerseyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I have an NP student on my floor and he always introduces himself as an NP student. I agree with Meriwhen that you should have a word to her in private about it because it is misleading and can have...

  12. background failed for banner!

    ckh23 replied to amberjo555's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I recommend you run a background check on yourself and see what comes up. I wouldn't rely on what someone else told you in 2003. For all you know, there could be a clerical error that changed the...

  13. why and how can people abuse the ER?

  15. seizures at the eye doctor optometrist office

    ckh23 replied to 10145nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of this. I looked up the drug and it under precautions it does say "systemic toxicity may occur rarely; including CNS stimulation followed by depression". Is this the first time the...

  16. New Grad nurse/early pregnancy advice

    ckh23 replied to mrsduck's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I say be up front and honest about it. They are going to find out about the pregnancy eventually and it won't be too hard for them to figure out you were pregnant prior. Yes they may not hire you...

  18. stroke symptoms

    ckh23 replied to Jaxs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If this is a homework question and you are asking for the answer, you won't find it here. Instead post what you have researched or what you think the answer is and your rationale and you will get more...

  19. Fellow Nurse Goes Off On Me!!!!???

    ckh23 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Tell her to leave her problems at the door and that her problems are not your problems. Just because she was upset for whatever reason, doesn't give her a free pass to act that

  20. Med/Surg Semester Irony

    ckh23 replied to nursing school mom's topic in General Students

    Have you tried asking these classmates what they have done differently or what they are studying? The information changes each semester and some people process it

  21. hypovolemic shock

    ckh23 replied to katiebry1031's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm going to say #2. You are on the right track with your rational for oxygen. The tissues will need more o2, but actual o2 consumption will be decreased because of hypo-perfusion. Tissue that is not...

  24. To the nurses: clinical instructor who called me out

    ckh23 replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Don't let one person deter you from being a nurse. I had clinical instructors that didn't like me for whatever reason, but you do what you have to do and pass. Then when the next clinical rotation...

  25. Cooling Line for a TBI patient

    ckh23 replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of a cooling line. When we use hypothermia procedures, such as after a cardiac arrest, there is a whole machine that does it. I'm thinking that they may have possibly placed a...
