    Annony RN replied to waterlily777's topic in General Nursing

    You'll see by my choices that I don't always take nursing to seriously. That was sooo 10 years ago, LOL. A bit about the heart works- or sometimes doesn't work right. He demonstrates the pumping...

    Annony RN replied to richard1980's topic in MICU, SICU

    Thanks... I reread the post I was asking about and not sure at all what made me think of amiodarone? Just a major DUH moment, I guess. But thanks for answering about the Procor. I didn't p[ick up...

  4. is there a "next-step-up-the-ladder" in the field of Perioperative Nursing?

    Annony RN replied to rookie_rn's topic in Operating Room

    Annony RN replied to Mabel 29's topic in General Nursing

  9. Maybe I shouldn't be an ICU nurse - long

    Annony RN replied to bethem's topic in MICU, SICU

    Unfortunately, who gets 1:1 just because of the vent? The only thing we 1:1 is CVVH and Arctic Sun. Just be happy when you're not taking care of three, I guess. ANd, yes, like a PP sometimes we do...

  10. Code in the OR... What is the Nurses Role?

    Annony RN replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Annony RN replied to mafiamom's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Annony RN replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

  16. I want her fired!!!!

    Annony RN replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing
