    Have you ever been insulted for what you do?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Its the same old p*ssing match that you see between different nursing specialties, nursing education/experience levels and even different types of nurses (LPN/LVN, RN, APN etc.) Can't we just accept...

    How do you know if you put an IV in an artery?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to crystal777's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious, when you did it to the newborn what exactly did you see after you inserted the IV? If you don't mind me asking, I work in a Peds. ED where this happened to a nurse I know and I want to...

    Need help understanding an insulin drip

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to KD CVICU-RN's topic in Critical Care

    How are their Potassium levels? I know that an insulin drip running with D10W into the same pt. is often a treatment for hyperkalemia. Any chance they would be using the insulin drip for that?

    Do CNAs make for better nursing students?

    LTC is not "settling"

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to joanna73's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing
