    Do you still perform skin testing prior to giving IV antibiotic?

    wtbcrna replied to plethoraldork's topic in Patient Medications

    Propofol in the ICU

    wtbcrna replied to Pharmahaulic's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't how many coins did fall out?. It was an example to try to make you understand herd immunity, obviously it didn't work. If you are working as a nurse and/or not living in plastic bubble then...

    Mandatory flu shots????

    wtbcrna replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The flu vaccine makes up about 2% of sales (0.4-3% in top 3 producers of the flu vaccine. That isn't profit just sales. The flu vaccine has to be reformulated every year. You cannot stockpile one year...

    How will Trump's War on Opioid Abuse Affect Non-abusers in Pain?

    wtbcrna replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is a typical pendulum approach. We have went to far one way now will likely go to far the other way. My anecdotal experience dealing with VA patients on opioid is that the VA is notorious for...
