I'm seriously considering it since I'm still fairly young and has been a nurse for more than a year. Some of the replies here are funny though. For those who pursue masters and are done with it. Please give me an advice thanks!

don't let it get to you. Sometimes, these nurses have something bothering them. IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S THEM!

I am hunted by the asystole alarm sometimes.

Look up sedation drugs such as propofol, precedex, versed drip, etomidate, fentanyl drips neuromuscular blocking agents: nimbex, rocuronium Vasoactive drips that were already mentioned in addition, vasodilators include nitroglycerin drip, nitropruss...

Ventilators, hard to grasp concept for me though I have been learning day by day about it. The most important concepts you have to remember are the modes, A/C pressure control vs. volume control, Spontaneous/pressure support, etc. If you would like t...

wow..25K mcgs Fentanyl in a few seconds? Unbelievable.

Don't worry, I feel the same way sometimes. I would suggest to brush up on your skills sometimes. Also, try to find the policy that states the standards of care in the ICU. It will guide you on what is expected of you on the care of patients in the I...

Learn the protocols Learn about vasoactive drips Order ICU book by Paul Marino. I love ICU. I am new as well but I just love all the thinking that happens about critically ill patients.

WBC >60,000 septic shock, confused with dementia Platelets >1 million alive, awesome, funny guy with blood disorder.

I remember lots from nursing school. Gemfibrozil affects the liver. Take Iron with orange juice. Increase in Amylase in the blood can be a sign of pancreatitis. Pancreatitis hurts. Etc. Peak tall T waves can be sign of hyperkalemia. Cool stuff. (s...

Put patient on nonrebreather, crank that oxygen up, call rapid response. That'll sure get their attention.

Sometimes it depends on the person too. If you really want to become a critical care nurse, please work hard on it and actually put effort into becoming one and not just pulling things out of your a**. Stay humble and be open minded. Learn from other...

People are so critical it's pathetic.

You could have worded your question differently. Don't be offended that people are calling you rude. Make this as a learning opportunity to be better next time.

You're doing what is right for the patient.

Rude. For OP, be yourself and show your professionalism through your work. To heck with everyone who thinks you look young. Looking young won't matter when you are saving lives. Keep doing a good job!

Psychosocial aspect of a pt is very important for me.

Hold therapy for a few days or do bedside therapy until pt is stable enough with the pt O2. Was the pt having crackles as per admission assessment? Is it new? Definitely treat hypoxia if pt is symptomatic.

I'm so excited for you. í ½í¸„

On my orientation to become a CCFP nurse. Thank you for this 😉

Congratulations í ½í¸ƒalways be positive. Take care of yourself. ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU DON'T KNOW. ASK FOR HELP. Do not be shy and be friendly to your co workers. Always put your patient's first but also take your breaks and lunch. Do not feel like yo...

Some parents will protect their children. I do believe it's normal to initially over react.

I do believe you cross your line there. It was ok to make sure the child's not eating too much sweet but to separate the kid froffrom the class to eat ...there is something wrong there. I do salute you for being passionate about the child's overall ...

Thank you for this.
