    TransportJockey replied to G019's topic in Nursing Career

  4. STABLE eBook?

    When I took STABLE a few months back I was unable to find any etext, illegal, legal, or otherwise. I wound up just buying a used copy on

  5. Neonatal Resuscitation Interventions

    TransportJockey replied to jonnygnurse's topic in General Students

    Usually starts with O2 and PPV. Blow by, and if no change after 30 seconds, PPV for 30 seconds. If no change and HR is below 60, initiate chest

  6. Code situation

    TransportJockey replied to KeitanTaylor's topic in General Students

    I tend to not like family present. I usually have them wait outside in care of SO or PD... In hospital, however, it seems that they are following AHA recomendations and assigning a nurse or tech (if...

  7. Tablets

    TransportJockey replied to NurseEmmy's topic in General Nursing

    I got a Samsung Galaxy 7" tablet from Sprint when I upgraded last year. It's perfect for everything I need and even has 4g connectivity. Small enough to comfortably carry in EMS pants, scrubs, or...

    TransportJockey replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  9. Should I get my EMT-B cert.?

    TransportJockey replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Nursing

    I would say go ahead. The EMT class is not anything too intense. Although just having the cert with no field time will mean absolutely nothing, most likely, when it comes to helping you with becoming...

    TransportJockey posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the process of doing my nursing program through Excelsior tright now and just had a question. I know I'm jumping the gun a little. When I worked at the Lvl 1 Trauma Center for NM in the ED, I...

  12. DNR in public school

    TransportJockey replied to Hunter'sMom's topic in School

    I'm not a school nurse, but from an EMS perspective I was called out a few years ago to a middle school for a teacher that suffered a cardiac event. When we arrived he had a DNR wristband on and it...

  13. Would ER Paramedic experience count?

    TransportJockey replied to TransportJockey's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the input guys. Like I said, I was just curious, since it's not a typical 'medic working as an ER Tech' type job. And trust me, I'm very proud of the work I've put in to become a paramedic...

  15. Nurses,what is the highest BP you've ever seen recorded on a pt.?

    TransportJockey replied to nobody067's topic in General Nursing

    260s / 170s. On an acute CVA patient I flew out of the field. HR was only about 30 too, so it was a rather large pucker factor to see Cushings triad that

    TransportJockey replied to dannygirl04's topic in General Nursing

    TransportJockey replied to massbaby's topic in NICU, Neonatal

  20. Advice when handing in my resume in person

    TransportJockey replied to smiley28's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't know if I'd say the kind of place that doesn't give you an appliation to fill out isn't a good place. The two hospital systems I've worked at they literally didn't have a physical application....

    TransportJockey replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing
