how come you left a hyperkalemic patient who is being treated without labs for more than 24 hours.. geeezzzzzzz

D50 + insulin helps move potassium back in to the intracellular compartment and i guess it was calcium gluconate.

GEEE very well said. thanks for this

we use PIV for amio infusion and we have few cases of extravasation so far.

Ceftriaxone (Rocephine) :)

it takes time but i'm pretty sure that you'll get use to it. The more you insert the more you gain confidence, skills and develop new techniques/

my sense of humor :)

I like your idea of pursuing an advance practice however it is much better if you have couple of years experience in your field before pushing through. it is like jumping in to the river without a life vest,I know that you will be able to swim but the strong current might injure you. This is just my opinion and the decision is still yours. best regards

if you have an opportunity to get a license in the philippines and have a master's degree you can teach in the college of nursing.. :) best of luck to you

hello everyone!! well i dunno how to start this but couple of year after i finished my BSN degree i really regretted why i took up nursing on the first place, I always thought what if? what if i could only turn back time. btw, i graduated march 2007, took and passed the NLE in DEcember of the same year. I worked in an ICU as a volunteer nurse for 6 months until i realized that nursing is not for me. I left my work without any notice to my seniors and worked in the callcenter for more than 2 years. Until one day i just woke up and felt like there is something missing in me, So I talked to a friend who is currently applying as an onco nurse in dubai. so what I did I talked to my friend in the HR to give me a certificate of employment. I then applied at workabroad.com. I undergone 3 interviews, 1 in bangladesh, 1 in algeria and 1 in libya which i luckily passed all the 3 interviews but in the end i chose Libya, so maybe nursing is indeed my calling. I am currently an ICU staff nurse here in Libya and just finish 1 year.. next year i will be having my vacation...
