Is it too early to give up after only a year in nursing? I graduated at the top of my class and started out i n the ICU. Now my passion is gone and don't want to work at the hospital anymore. Any advice?

I'm orienting in the CCU (night shift)!as a new grad and my preceptor has 30 years of experience. She asked me to give Coreg and hold Cardizem. She provided an explanation but I'' still skeptical. It wasn't meant to be a scope of practice question, more of an academic one. Thanks for the replies though. If I were on my own and working days, I'd probably call the doctor like you said.

Patient with SBP in the 170s, HR in the 50s. Carvedilol (Coreg) and Diltiazem (Cardizem) are both scheduled to be administered without parameters. Which one will you give and which one will you hold? And why? Please help me understand...

Congratulations @kpascual! Welcome to Group G 1. Graduation code for trimester is 0516T (that's our expected grad date May 2016 and T for, you guessed it, Trimester!) 2. Yes, I believe we still need a flu shot even if it isn't technically flu season yet 3. Yes, that's correct... this is where you need to let them know if you had had any of the diseases you got titers for. That's my two cents... If you want definitive answers, email the person in charge of CP (---------------), or you can look it up on the SON faculty directory

Yes, that was some last minute notice. Just glad that that was over with. By the way, did anyone ever ask for your 2x2 photo? I just realized I never turned it in as I was driving home. I'm sure it's not a big deal but I just find it weird that they would ask us to bring one and they wouldn't ask for it...
